A Cause Close to the Heart
Launched in 2019 through a partnership with Jack and Barbara Nicklaus and the PGA Tour, Play Yellow is a Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals program with a goal to galvanize the golf industry to fundraise for local member children’s hospitals.
The program’s namesake is representative of a color close to Jack and Barbara’s heart. In the ‘sixties, their friend Craig Smith was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma as a teenager. While Craig battled the disease, Jack and Barbara rallied to support him.
Jack would wear a yellow shirt — Craig’s favorite color — which Craig believed brought Jack luck on the course. Over the years, Jack would wear a yellow shirt on tournament Sundays.
Now, Craig’s legacy lives on through Jack and Barbara’s passion for providing support and hope for children’s health.
