Why Are PGA Tour Pros Wearing Green Ribbons at CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2026?

As Si Woo Kim is still taking charge at the top and Scottie Scheffler is chasing him down, fans have noticed something intriguing on the field today. With more than half the day’s play done, all the pros are seen wearing a green ribbon on their hat. Why are they doing that?

As per the official PGA Tour website, the tournament is showing support for Mental Health Awareness Month in May by asking the players to wear the ribbons. Every Saturday, they host an annual ‘Green Out’ by encouraging everyone on the field to wear the ribbons and hat clips.

Moreover, the par-3 17th hole, which is famously known as ‘The Ranch’, hosts the Bibigo hole-in-one challenge. All the benefits from the aces scored on the hole go to the Momentous Institute and to supporting mental health initiatives across the region. Moreover, the CJ Group also donates a $1,000 for each birdie that is scored on the 17th hole. That amounted for $76,000 towards the Momentous Institute in 2024 alone. This year, the par-3 hole has seen 101 birdies so far.

A perfect read from 53 feet for eagle from Kensei Hirata to move to T4.

Lastly, the winner of the Bibigo hole-in-one challenge also receives a special prize. The first person to score an ace on the hole for that edition of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson gets a “unique K-cuisine experience.” So far, the 2026 edition of the event hasn’t seen an ace.
