About the Campaign

Launched in cooperation with the PGA TOUR , the "Play Yellow" campaign has a goal of raising $100 million in the next five years for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals .

Nationwide Children's Hospital , which has been a beneficiary of the Memorial Tournament since its inception in 1976, is one of 170 CMN hospitals in the country. The hospitals rely on donations to fund pediatric care for millions of children.

Donations

Donations also can be made anytime by visiting www.playyellow.org .

The "Play Yellow" theme is inspired by the yellow shirts that Nicklaus often wore in the final round of tournaments in honor of Craig Smith, the son of a close friend who was fighting bone cancer. Craig died in 1971 at the age of 13.

In the final round of the 1986 Masters, the Golden Bear wore a yellow shirt to again honor Craig, and he went on to win his sixth green jacket.
