The 2024 Pinnacle Bank Championship presented by Woodhouse reached a significant milestone, surpassing $1 million in total charitable contributions since its inception in 2017. This year, the tournament donated $181,411 to local and national organizations while increasing attendance from 2023, welcoming a record-breaking 52,816 attendees.
Key 2024 contributions included:
- $90,000 through the RSM Putting Challenge
- $35,500 to the PGA REACH Foundation
- $19,941 to EPIC for Girls, which empowers young women through sports
- Over 350 polos and 440 hats/visors donated to Boys Town and EPIC for Girls to support youth golf programs
Over 550 volunteers contributed approximately 8,330 hours during the seven-day event, and the Pinnacle Bank Championship partnered with 115 community sponsors, continuing its focus on supporting Omaha organizations.
Matt McCarty won the 2024 Pinnacle Bank Championship, becoming the second player in history to win three tournaments on the Korn Ferry Tour and one PGA Tour event in a single season. Nebraska natives Brandon Crick and Scott Gutschewski, the only players to compete in all eight Pinnacle Bank Championship events, marked another year of participation.
“This year’s milestone of surpassing $1 million in charitable giving reflects the collective effort of our community, sponsors and volunteers,” said Tournament Director Jessica Brabec. “It’s a testament to the power of collaboration and the impact we can make together.”
