2023 Shriners Children’s Open Standard Bearers and Patient Ambassadors
Meet our 2023-2024 International Patient Ambassadors
The Shriners Children’s Open brings PGA TOUR golf to Las Vegas and also brings some very special representatives from the tournament’s namesake and charity, Shriners Children’s.
Each year, patients from Shriners Children’s locations are chosen to represent the healthcare system during the tournament. The patients serve as standard bearers – carrying the scores of professional golfers as they compete in the tournament, while making memories that will last a lifetime. The Shriners Children’s representatives enjoy a rare “inside the ropes” opportunity at the PGA TOUR event where they meet and interact with the pros, patients from across the country, Shriners and the Shriners Children’s community.
Also in attendance are the Shriners Children’s International Patient Ambassadors, who are chosen each year to represent the healthcare system’s patients. The ambassadors spend a year telling their stories of perseverance in the face of adversity and the ways Shriners Children’s has made a dramatic, life-changing difference in their lives.
As part of their participation in the tournament, the ambassadors’ and standard bearers’ stories and photos appear in the tournament program, and are also shared with the Golf Channel, which televises the tournament, reaching over 700 million homes across 240 countries worldwide!
