For the past seven years, the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois has assembled leading middle market private equity firms, senior and junior capital providers, attorneys, accountants, consultants and portfolio company managers to participate in the only event that hosts the middle market financial communities. The Middle Market Open™, is a premier golf tournament held at beautiful Olympia Fields Country Club, which benefits the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois (NKFI)

This event is the perfect combination of championship level golf, outstanding prizes, silent auction items, and exceptional marketing and networking opportunities. Renowned for their championship North Course, Olympia Fields will be unveiling their newly renovated South Course shortly before our event, making both courses enviable choices for play. Last year's event was a sell-out, so confirm your sponsorship before your competitor does! 

Last year's Middle Market Open™ raised more than $225,000 to directly support important, lifesaving programs of the NKFI. Millions of people are affected by the conditions that cause kidney disease and kidney failure, but most are not aware that they even have a problem. This is due in large part to the primary reasons for kidney disease; untreated and undiagnosed high blood pressure and diabetes, which often go undetected until damage to the body and kidneys is extensive.

RULES & DIRECTIONS

  1. The format of the Middle Market Open™ is a two-man, best ball.  Each player on the team plays his or her own golf ball throughout the round, and on each hole the low net score or "best ball" of the group serves as the two-man team score.

  2. Players must have a verifiable index to be eligible to win prizes and the Middle Market Open™ Cup.  Only players with amateur status may compete for prizes.  

  3. Caddies or volunteers may keep score for the twosomes in an effort to ensure fair play.  

  4. There will be no rain date and no refunds for the Middle Market Open™.
