Proud Supporter of U.S. Military Personnel

The Northern Trust Open is proud to support the men and women of our U.S. Armed Forces and their families, and to work with Birdies for the Brave to provide many special opportunities for military personnel and their families throughout tournament week.

Military Ticketing

The Northern Trust Open offers complimentary admission to all active, Reserve and military retirees and their dependents with a valid Department of Defense issued ID. Discounted tickets are also available for veterans. Present a valid military ID at the gate to obtain your free tickets.

Tournament Week Events

Throughout tournament week, Birdies for the Brave will be hosting a variety of activities for military personnel and their families at the Northern Trust Open.

Birdies for the Brave Patriots’ Outpost
Join us at the Birdies for the Brave Patriots’ Outpost, which offers complimentary food and beverages exclusively for military members and their dependents. Located on the 10th green, this convenient hospitality location can serve as your home base for the entire tournament.

Military Caddy Program
During Wednesday’s Pro-Am, active duty military personnel have the opportunity to caddy for PGA TOUR players for one hole. This unique program lets you get up close and personal with your favorite PGA TOUR stars. If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact Kristi Fowlks.

About Birdies for the Brave

Birdies for the Brave is a national military outreach initiative proudly supported by the PGA TOUR. Originally created by TOUR player Phil Mickelson and his wife, Amy, Birdies for the Brave includes rehabilitative golf clinics and special opportunities for wounded warriors; military appreciation activities during TOUR events; and fundraising events held at TPC clubs nationwide — an effort that has raised more than $7.5 million for military homefront groups that provide critical programs and services for military men and women and their families.
