Players and fans wear yellow ribbons at the Memorial Tournament
Summary

During the Memorial Tournament on June 7, players and attendees at Muirfield Village Golf Club are wearing yellow ribbons to support the 'Play Yellow' campaign. This initiative, associated with Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, aims to raise funds for local children's hospitals like Nationwide Children's Hospital. The campaign was inspired by Jack Nicklaus, who wore yellow shirts to honor a friend's son who passed away from bone cancer in 1971. Participants are encouraged to wear yellow, purchase special merchandise, and make donations to support the cause.
