Memorial Tournament Highlights Philanthropy and Community Support
The Memorial Tournament, presented by Workday, takes place in Dublin, Ohio, on June 3, 2025, celebrating the enduring legacy of golf legend Jack Nicklaus. This year's tournament shines a spotlight on the Play Yellow initiative, which aims to enhance community support for children's healthcare. Honoring Barbara Nicklaus as the 2025 Honoree, the event recognizes her and Jack's unwavering dedication to improving children's health. Their commitment resonates deeply through the Play Yellow campaign, which has significantly raised funds for local children's hospitals, illustrating a profound connection between sports and philanthropy.
Aimee J. Daily, Ph.D., President & CEO of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, emphasizes the collective effort from the golf community in supporting children’s healthcare. The tournament serves not only as a celebration of golf but also as a platform for raising awareness and funds through philanthropic activities. Each swing of the club and every donation contribute meaningfully to the lives of children and families in need. The Play Yellow movement, inspired by Jack Nicklaus’s tradition of wearing yellow to honor a friend, unites golfers and fans alike in a shared mission to give back to the community.
The tournament features notable moments that embody this spirit of philanthropy, including golfer Rickie Fowler participating in Yellow Out Sunday, showing solidarity by wearing a yellow shirt. The event marks a significant milestone in ongoing efforts to support children’s healthcare and highlights the profound impact of Jack and Barbara Nicklaus's work on communities nationwide. Their commitment extends beyond the golf course, showcasing a belief in the importance of philanthropy and a vision for the future of children's health initiatives.
