Welcome to PlayYellow
Why Yellow?
Play Yellow is a movement founded by Jack and Barbara Nicklaus in an effort to raise money through the golf industry for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals across the country. This initiative is widely supported in the golf community and boasts the support of well-known golf entities, such as the PGA TOUR, Callaway, PGA TOUR Superstore and more! Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals of Greater St. Louis' (CMN-STL) signature Play Yellow event, Swing Fore Miracles, is a tournament at Topgolf focused on bringing the St. Louis business community together with other CMN-STL supporters. Colleagues will come together to have fun, and compete against other teams to change kids' health and change the future.

In 2019, Jay launched his radio show, Golf with Jay Delsing. It has quickly become the golf show in the St. Louis area and a national syndication of the show is underway.

Jack’s love for yellow starts with Craig Smith, the son of Barbara’s minister and a passionate young fan in Jack’s hometown of Columbus, Ohio, was diagnosed in 1968 with a rare bone cancer (Ewing Sarcoma) that would tragically end his life in June of 1971 at age 13. Jack would call him frequently, and during one conversation following a win, Craig said he predicted victory because he was wearing his lucky yellow shirt…
