About The Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship
The Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship is held annually at The Ohio State University Golf Club, Scarlet Course. The tournament is one of four Korn Ferry Tour Finals events that help determine which players will earn PGA TOUR membership each season. The top 20 players in the season-long standings at the conclusion of the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Championship will earn PGA TOUR membership for the 2026 season.
The four Finals events – which includes the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship – feature $1.5 million purses and award 600 points to each winner. The 2025 Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship is the second of the four Finals events, featuring a field of 144 players. The fields for the Finals will be progressively reduced, starting with 156 players for event No. 1, 120 players for event No. 3 and finishing with 75 players in the final event. The preceding 22 events on the schedule will have a minimum purse of $1 million and award 500 points to the winner.
The field for the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship will compete over 72 holes of stroke play, with a cut to the top-65 players and ties after 36 holes. Golf Channel will broadcast tournament coverage from Thursday’s opening round to the trophy presentation on Sunday in high definition.
Since its inception in 2007, the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship has raised nearly $30 million in support of pediatric cancer at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
