01 THE TRIANGLE’S
#1 PROFESSIONAL GOLF TOURNAMENT Building on 30+ years of tournament history, the UNC Health Championship has become one of the most exciting professional sporting events in North Carolina. Golf’s rising stars on the Korn Ferry Tour go head-to-head at the prestigious Raleigh Country Club, offering elevated spectator experiences,
hospitality features and opportunities for sponsors to support the community.
Where Future Major Champions Play Founded, owned and operated by the PGA TOUR, the Korn Ferry Tour identifies and develops golf’s next stars, preparing them to compete and win on the game’s biggest stage. The Korn Ferry Tour, which has served as a path to the PGA TOUR since its inception in 1990, will award 20 PGA TOUR cards based off its points list, with the No. 1 player earning exemptions into the following year’s PLAYERS Championship and U.S. Open. With more than 650 PGA TOUR titles, 32 major championships and eight FedExCup champions, Korn Ferry Tour alumni make up 83 percent of the PGA TOUR’s current membership .

02 A LETTER FROM OUR CEO AND DEAN
The UNC Health Championship is quickly becoming one of the Triangle’s premier sporting events. It’s a time to appreciate some of the world’s most talented golfers, but also be outside with family, friends, and colleagues and spend time together enjoying amazing hospitality and an exciting atmosphere at the Raleigh Country Club. Most importantly, it’s an opportunity to support the future health of our state. Tournament proceeds go to support the development of N.C. Children’s the state’s only freestanding children’s hospital. In case you missed it, we recently announced that this worldclass facility will be located in Apex. Thank you so much for your support of the UNC Health Championship. Your partnership not only helps us provide a great experience at the tournament for players and fans, it is also is an investment in the future health of North Carolina’s children.
— Dr. Cristy Page INTERIM CEO, UNC HEALTH INTERIM DEAN, UNC SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

03 EMPOWERING OUR YOUTH FOR THE FUTURE
The UNC Health Championship strives to make an impact on the future of golf and our local youth. Proceeds help support UNC Health and local community partners — and to provide experiences for young golfers across the Triangle. Each year, several players take time to visit children at UNC Hospitals. Sponsorships, ticket sales and on-site exposure all make a difference in the lives of our patients, colleagues, non-profit partners and community.

04 MAKING AN IMPACT:
THE NEW NC CHILDREN’S With the goal of creating a brighter future for our children, North Carolina Children’s Health (NC Children’s) has chosen a location in Apex for its campus, which will include the only freestanding, independent children’s hospital in the Carolinas. NC Children’s, a partnership between UNC Health and Duke Health, will be built on approximately 230 acres of land at the intersection of US-1 and NC-540.

05 WHERE THE PGA TOUR’S NEXT STARS COMPETE
The Korn Ferry Tour has developed some of the game’s very best players and major champions including Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, local Raleigh players Webb Simpson, Akshay Bhatia and Chesson Hadley. In its fourth year at renowned Raleigh Country Club, the UNC Health Championship has quickly become one of the toughest tests on the Korn Ferry Tour. The demanding course design challenges every area of the players’ games, while the walkable layout makes for a spectator-friendly event with wide-open vistas and enhanced viewing. Raleigh Country Club is easily accessible for Triangle residents and beyond.

06 BRINGING THE TRIANGLE TOGETHER
Official Volunteer Sponsor
It takes many hands to make the UNC Health Championship a success each year. In 2025, we welcomed a record 750 volunteers! Volunteers are the backbone of our tournament and help make it run smoothly. Whether you’re a golf novice, an avid fan, a new volunteer or have been an integral volunteer for years, there is a place for you!
Being part of a national tournament is something pretty special. To have an opportunity to be up-close-and-personal with the players right here in Raleigh is phenomenal.
“
There’s over 700 volunteers to make this tournament go around. Without the volunteers I don’t know how the event would work. It’s worth every ounce of time and energy. It’s an amazing experience, helping people, having a great time, it’s contagious.
– Volunteer, Dave Ferrell

This was Fortinet’s first year sponsoring the UNC Health Championship, and the experience exceeded expectations. Our guests had a fantastic time at the Hickory Club on 17 Green—great food, exceptional service, and a front-row view of the action made for a memorable day. The event helped us strengthen relationships with key customers and generated significant business opportunities, delivering a return of more than 20x our investment. From both a sponsor and guest perspective, it was a first-class experience. We’re excited to continue building the partnership in 2026.

09 A LETTER FROM OUR
2025 CHAMPION Winning the 2025 UNC Health Championship in the city I now call home was a career highlight. This is such a well-run event and one that the pros on our tour look forward to every year. Having proceeds go towards the new NC Children’s Hospital is just another reason to get involved. The professional signage and large hospitality tents are some of the nicest we see anywhere, and it is great to play in front of large crowds. This is truly a special place and a special event. Sponsorships like yours drive one of the best events on the Korn Ferry Tour and help make an impact on our community. The UNC Health Championship is an important event in the fabric of our city. You do not want to miss the 2026 edition!
Respectfully,
Trace Crowe 2025 CHAMPION
