Columbus, Ohio – Tournament officials announced today that volunteer registration for the 13th annual Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship is now open to the public at www.ncc-golf.com.
The 2019 Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship will be held August 12 – 18 at The Ohio State University Golf Club – Scarlet Course and serve as the first of three stops in the Web.com Tour Finals.
“We are extremely grateful for the nearly 700 individuals each year that donate their time to this special event,” said tournament director Kip McBride. “Our volunteers play an essential role in every aspect of the tournament and are vital to our goal of raising charitable donations for pediatric cancer research and treatment at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Thanks in large part to the efforts of our dedicated volunteers, a record $2,104,254 was raised last year alone for Nationwide Children’s, and more than $11.5 million has been raised since the tournament’s inception in 2007.”
Volunteers have a variety of different areas available to choose from during registration. These areas represent the many tasks required to conduct a Web.com Tour Finals Event. A description of each area is available at www.ncc-golf.com.
All volunteers receive a uniform that consists of a golf shirt and cap. Volunteers also receive breakfast and lunch for each day they work. To cover the cost of the uniform volunteers are charged a fee of $45.00. These contributions represent an additional way volunteers help maximize the charitable donations the tournament provides to Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
Since 2013, all 50 PGA TOUR cards have come through the Web.com Tour. Previously, 25 cards were awarded to the leading money winners on the Web.com Tour at season’s end and 25 more cards via the PGA TOUR Qualifying School in December. The PGA TOUR Qualifying School is no longer in existence, having been replaced by the Web.com Tour Qualifying School, which provides a first step on the path to the PGA TOUR.
The Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship will play a pivotal role in determining who will earn PGA TOUR membership for the 2019-2020 season. At the end of the three Finals events, a second set of PGA TOUR cards will be awarded to those players who earn the most cumulative points in the three Finals events.
The top-25 from the Web.com Tour Regular Season automatically secure their TOUR cards and will carry their points into the Finals. The order of priority for all 50 cards will be determined at the conclusion of the Finals.
General admission and parking for the 2019 Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship is offered free of charge to the public. For details please visit www.ncc-golf.com. The Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship’s Charity Ticket Program, now entering its 12th year, allows for participating charity organizations to receive donations based on the number of “charity tickets” redeemed at the tournament.
