IT’S BACK…

Last year, THE NORTHERN TRUST and PGA TOUR teamed up with Tackle Kids’ Cancer to launch the first ever Birdie Challenge, raising over $12,500 for Tackle Kid’s Cancer’s life saving mission. This year, the challenge is back, but with a new name - Birdie’s to Benefit Tackle Kid’s Cancer. We’re once again challenging fans and supporters to pledge a donation for every birdie that is recorded throughout this year’s tournament.

Your contribution will benefit The Children’s Cancer Institute at Hackensack University Medical Center. Every dollar raised benefits the essential clinical care, unique support services and groundbreaking research needed to find a cure. So pledge today, or better yet, become a campaign fundraiser. You can earn some awesome rewards.

The tournament averages approximately 1200 birdies annually. Total number is calculated by the total number of birdies scored during regular play (First Round through Final Round), and excludes all practice rounds.

ABOUT THE NORTHERN TRUST

THE NORTHERN TRUST has been a part of the PGA TOUR schedule since 1967 when Jack Nicklaus won the inaugural event at Westchester Country Club. Since that time, some of the greatest players in the game have earned the title including World Golf Hall of Famers Arnold Palmer, Johnny Miller, Raymond Floyd, Seve Ballesteros, Hale Irwin and Curtis Strange. Many of the world’s current top players have won the event as well, including two-time champions Ernie Els and Sergio Garcia; four-time champion Vijay Singh; and 2016 champion Patrick Reed. As the first of four playoff events, THE NORTHERN TRUST plays a leading role in the FedExCup, the season-long competition that is the centerpiece of the PGA TOUR season.


ABOUT PGA CHARITIES

Charity is the cornerstone of the PGA TOUR and through this mission, they have donated over $2 billion to charities nationwide, including $45 million that has come from THE NORTHERN TRUST event over the past 50 years. This money generated from THE NORTHERN TRUST has directly impacted hundreds of NY/NJ charities and look forward to continuing this tradition for years to come.
