Team Ohio

Support Coaches Chris Yoder, PGA, Brad Zitzner and Team Ohio's PGA Junior League team at the National Championship in Frisco, TX

Team Ohio isn’t just playing for a trophy, they’re playing for a cause. As they head to PGA Frisco this November for the PGA Jr. League National Championship, these nine talented juniors are turning every birdie into an opportunity to give back. The team is inviting friends, family and golf fans to pledge a donation for every birdie they make, with all proceeds benefiting PGA REACH Southern Ohio, the Southern Ohio PGA Section's foundation that uses golf to support local Veterans, youth, and underserved communities.

What makes Team Ohio special goes far beyond their scores. When they’re not competing, these kids bring smiles and laughter to patients at Nationwide Children’s Hospital through Smiling Fore Life, a PGA REACH Southern Ohio program that uses golf to create moments of joy and connection. Their effort on the national stage is a continuation of that same spirit, proving that golf isn’t just a game, it’s a way to make a difference. Join them in supporting this mission by pledging per birdie and helping Team Ohio turn great golf into lasting impact.
