"We are proud that the FORE!

"This community-focused race owes much of its success to its sponsors, including new presenting sponsor The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and The James, and longtime partners City of Dublin, Nationwide, Miller Lite, Coca-Cola, Giant Eagle and WBNS. Their support makes it possible for the FORE! Miler to raise important funds for Nationwide Children's Hospital and Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, while also highlighting the alliance with the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation."
The Memorial Tournament, scheduled for May 26-June 1, will once again collaborate with M3S Sports to operate the FORE! Miler. The Memorial and M3S will continue to work closely with City of Dublin officials to create a first-class race experience for participants and Dublin residents alike.
