A hole-in-onesie: Players Championship giving gifts to more than 500 newborns this week

Every baby born during Players Championship week at 11 First Coast hospitals in the Jacksonville area will receive a tournament-themed onesie that says "Crawl, Walk, Golf."

The parents also will get a birthday card containing tips for safe sleep practices for infants from The Players Center for Child Health at Wolfson Children's Hospital. 

It's estimated that more than 500 babies will be born this week at the 11 hospitals.

“This week is such a special one in our community,” said Jared Rice, executive director of The Players. “We are honored to celebrate and connect with those who share this milestone with us.” 

There are additional youth and family experiences at The Players this week: 

• Youth days, presented by Nemours Children’s Health System, allows up to two youth ages 15 and under to attend free with a ticketed adult for the Tuesday and Wednesday practice rounds. All youth will need tickets Thursday through Sunday. 

• Family Care Suite presented by Wolfson Children’s Hospital, is an air-conditioned space with private rooms for parents to change diapers and feed babies. Diapers, wipes, hand sanitizers and other necessary products will be provided in the suite. 

• Strollers, small diaper bags, plastic baby bottles, and other essential baby supplies are permitted.  The infant must be with the carrier.  Items are subject to search. 

Those who take advantage of the amenities in the Family Care Suite will be entered into a daily drawing for a $100 gift card to Buy Buy Baby.
