Cameron Champ's Parents, Jeff and Lisa, Part of Golfer's Push to Diversify the Game
Cameron Champ's Parents, Jeff and Lisa, Part of Golfer's Push to Diversify the Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As Cameron Champ continues to push to see more Black golfers represented in both the youth and PGA Tour levels, his parents Jeff and Lisa Champ have witnessed their son's dedication on and off the course. Advertisement Back in 2022, Champ made Masters history alongside Tiger Woods and Harold Varner as the first black trio to play the major at Augusta National. Cameron launched the Mack Champ Invitational as part of his foundation's efforts to honor his late grandfather and have an event for "the game's best junior golfers of diverse backgrounds." The PGA Tour golfer understands it is going to take some time to see the results of the family's hard work. Cameron Champ plays his shot from the first fairway during the first round of the Grant Thornton Invitational at Tiburón Golf Matay-Imagn Images "It's going to take not just a village, but it's going to take the entirety of the Tour, those around the Tour and the entire golfing community to get things on a broader level," Cameron told The Augusta Chronicle's Gabriel Stovall during an April 2022, interview. "It's a matter of setting up programs to introduce kids to the game. And it has to be someone who looks like them. You're not gonna get some guy in a suit coming into those communities saying, 'Hey, you wanna play golf?'" Advertisement Cameron's dad Jeff has expressed admiration for seeing his son honor his grandfather. "My father (would be) proud, too,' Jeff explained to NBC News' Curtis Bunn during an April 8, 2021, interview. 'To honor my dad this way was beautiful.' Back in Sept. 2019, Cameron and his dad worked together on an event telling their story for Nike. "Back to where it all started for me!" Cameron noted in the Sept. 24, 2019, Instagram post. "Thank you @nike @nikegolf and @golfpass for coming out today to @foothillpar3 to showcase why this place is so special to me and my family. "Can't wait for everyone to see what we are putting together! More to come soon and excited to see where it all takes us! #ChampProud #TeamChamp #PapaChamp #CCFoundation" Advertisement Related: Cameron Champ Sends Strong Message on Wife Jessica Birdsong Champ This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

There are 18 contenders at RBC Canadian Open who need to win Sunday to get into U.S. Open The U.S. Open is just about filled up with six available spots still to go. The winner of the 2025 RBC Canadian Open, if he's not already in the field for Oakmont, earns at least Thursday and Friday tee times at the national championship next week. The Canadian Open is the final PGA Tour event before the U.S. Open, the final tune-up for those in, the final hope for those not. Golfers in contention at RBC Canadian Open who need to win to get into U.S. Open There are 29 golfers inside the top 20 (more specifically, there are 29 golfers tied for 18th or better after 36 holes in Toronto). Of those 29, there are 18 who are not in the U.S. Open field. Everyone tied for 18th or better is no more than six shots off the lead with half the tournament still to go. Neither of the top two so far in Toronto are in the Oakmont field. Pos. Name Score U.S. Open: In or out 1 Cameron Champ -12 Out 2 Andrew Putnam -10 Out T3 Thorbjorn Olesen -9 In T3 Richard Lee -9 Out T3 Nick Taylor -9 In T3 Victor Perez -9 In T7 Ryan Fox -8 Out T7 Jake Knapp -8 Out T7 Shane Lowry -8 In T7 Cristobal Del Solar -8 Out T7 Sam Burns -8 In T7 Matteo Manassero -8 Out T13 Danny Willett -7 Out T13 Rasmus Hojgaard -7 In T13 Matt McCarty -7 In T13 John Pak -7 Out T13 Taylor Pendrith -7 In T18 Cameron Young -6 In T18 Kevin Yu -6 Out T18 Peter Malnati -6 Out T18 David Skinns -6 Out T18 Trey Mullinax -6 Out T18 Jesper Svensson -6 Out T18 Beau Hossler -6 Out T18 Lee Hodges -6 Out T18 Mackenzie Hughes -6 In T18 Keith Mitchell -6 Out T18 Byeong Hun An -6 In T18 Jackson Suber -6 Out So it's pretty simple for those golfers: win and you're in.

$43 Million PGA Tour Golfer Joins Rory McIlroy in Unfortunate News Entering the Weekend
$43 Million PGA Tour Golfer Joins Rory McIlroy in Unfortunate News Entering the Weekend originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The 2025 RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto is in full swing, and it's already shaping up to be one of the most dramatic events on the PGA Tour calendar. After two rounds of play, it's Cameron Champ, a late addition to the field, who finds himself on top. With an opening round of 62 followed by a smooth 66, Champ holds a two-stroke lead and remains the only bogey-free player through 36 holes. Advertisement Behind him are Andrew Putnam and a strong chasing pack including Victor Perez, Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen and Shane Lowry. But while some are soaring, others are heading home early. The weekend field has been trimmed, and four big names won't be around, Rory McIlroy, Max Homa, Luke Clanton, and David Ford all missed the cut. Max Homa walks the ninth fairway during the third round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf ClubAdam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images In PGA Tour events, the cut is used to reduce the field after two rounds, allowing only the top scorers (typically the top 65 and ties) to compete in the weekend rounds. Max Homa, who came heartbreakingly close, finished one shot short of the cutline at 2-under. His missed 13-foot birdie putt on the 18th sealed his early exit. It's a rare misstep for the 34-year-old, who has earned over $43 million in career prize money and is one of the Tour's top competitors. As for McIlroy, the missed cut is particularly shocking. This is the first time he's failed to make a weekend since The Open Championship last July. His second-round 78 included a disastrous quadruple-bogey on the 5th hole and a double on the 11th. Advertisement 'I think there's still learnings that you have to take from a day like today,' McIlroy admitted. He now faces an unexpected break ahead of the U.S. Open at Oakmont.
