A day before the PGA Tour’s best kick off the 39th Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin on Thursday, the Tour announced a five-year extension to the annual stop in Sin City.
“Shriners Children’s is a truly amazing organization that impacts the lives of thousands of children and families,” said PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan via a release. “The PGA Tour is honored to partner with the Shriners to continue to help promote their mission and the great work they do throughout their locations in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Shriners Children’s Open has built a wonderful tradition in Las Vegas, and we couldn’t be more excited to see that secured for another five years.”
The event, sponsored by Shriners Children’s since 2008, will run through 2026. Defending champion Martin Laird highlights this week’s field that includes last week’s Sanderson Farms champion Sam Burns, two-time Shriners winner Kevin Na (2011, 2019) and U.S. Ryder Cup team members Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka.

“As one of our signature events, the Shriners Children’s Open raises the profile of both Shriners Children’s and Shriners International, the fraternity that founded the generous, unique health care system as its official philanthropy a century ago,” said Bill Bailey, chairman of the board of directors of Shriners Children’s and CEO of Shriners International. “We are thrilled to continue this important event and look forward to its continued success as both a sports event and a marketing and fundraising initiative for our organizations.”
