Nationwide Children’s Golf Championship
Enjoy some golf spectating the week of September 16, as the Nationwide Children’s Golf Championship–the third of four stops in the Korn Ferry Tour finals–returns to The Ohio State University Golf Club.
The Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship plays a pivotal role in determining who will earn PGA TOUR membership for the upcoming season. And with three out of four PGA TOUR members alumni of the Korn Ferry Tour, the tournament provides a great opportunity to see some of today’s best players in action.
One of the great things about this tournament is its local philanthropic tie to Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Since the tournament’s inception in 2007, more than $25 million has been raised to support the hospital’s efforts to combat pediatric cancer.
The official first round starts the morning of Thursday, September 19, with play continuing through Sunday, September 22. Admission is free – click here to secure your tickets.
