Memorial Health Championship Offers Free Admission

The Memorial Health Championship will once again offer free admission for all four rounds of competition in 2026 through its continued partnership with Visit Springfield. The tournament is scheduled to take place June 25 through June 28 at Panther Creek Country Club.

Tournament organizers announced that general admission will remain free to the public, continuing a long-standing effort to make the event accessible to residents and visitors alike. Fans can secure tickets in advance through the tournament’s website.

“We are excited to welcome fans back for another incredible week of golf,” said Kate Peters. “This year will feature new on-course experiences, and thanks to our continued partnership with Visit Springfield, we are ensuring the event remains accessible to all. Interest in the tournament has continued to grow over the past ten years and we are working on a phenomenal week of championship golf in central Illinois. Fans can expect new on-course viewing areas and an enhanced focus on family-friendly activities during Saturday’s round. Our goal is to continue to make this event fun, family-friendly and affordable to everyone in attendance.”

The partnership also includes logistical support aimed at improving access to the course. Free parking will be available at Landmark Chrysler, with shuttle service provided to transport spectators to and from the venue.

“We continue our commitment to bring visitors to Springfield, and this partnership is a reflection of that mission,” said Scott Dahl. “The city is proud to make this family-friendly event free to attend. With complimentary parking at Landmark Chrysler and free shuttles to the course, it is easy and affordable for fans to enjoy professional golf in Springfield.”

While general admission is free, upgraded ticket options will be available for purchase. These include access to the J&J Gaming VIP Lounge, which offers views of the ninth and 18th greens along with inclusive food and beverage service.

Organizers are also continuing to recruit volunteers for the event through the COUNTRY Financial volunteer program. Volunteers will receive benefits such as meals during shifts, tournament-branded apparel, and the opportunity to play the course following the tournament. Positions are available for individuals of all experience levels, and no prior golf knowledge is required.
