Dwyane Wade & Dorell Wright Turn Miami Art Week Into a Celebration of Golf, Culture, and Black Excellence

Miami Art Week kicked off with purpose and star power as NBA champions Dwyane Wade and Dorell Wright hosted the second annual Ace Members Only Golf Experience at Miami Springs Golf Course, a historic landmark in the fight for integration within golf.

Produced by REBRAND NY, the invite-only outing brought together athletes, entertainers, and VIP tastemakers committed to expanding access and opportunity in golf and business, including JR Smith, Alonzo Mourning, Ja Rule, Alexis Belton, Sadena Parks, and more. Partners such as Body Armor, On The Rocks Cocktails, Pacino’s Men’s Grooming, and Amber & Opal supported the event, highlighting a shared commitment to inclusion, culture, and excellence.

The day began with Wade and Wright reflecting on the 20th anniversary of the Miami Heat’s 2006 NBA Championship, alongside their original championship trophy. They discussed brotherhood, entrepreneurship, and the evolution from teammates to community leaders.

Miami Springs Golf Course, historically significant for challenging discriminatory golf policies in 1949 and later hosting icons like Jackie Robinson, provided the perfect backdrop. The outing extends this legacy by creating spaces where minority athletes and leaders can network, cultivate relationships, and access influential environments.

“We wanted to create a space where we could combine culture, community, and competition while opening doors that weren’t always open to us,” Wade said. Wright added, “This started as a simple outing with friends. Now it’s a movement, one that continues the legacy of those who fought so we could stand here today.”

What began as a small gathering has evolved into a Miami Art Week highlight, merging golf, Black excellence, and global creative influence, with plans to expand youth outreach and industry access through the game.
