The Chattanooga Classic’s name was changed this summer to Children’s Hospital Classic to assist the charity for the Nationwide Tour golf event.

Tournament director Mickey McCamish said its two sponsor-exemption participants are loaded with charity experience.

The headliner is Notah Begay. The other is Doug Barron.

“These are two fine golfers with both experience on the golf course and countless hours of experience in charity work,” McCamish said. “With a change in direction of the tournament, Notah and Doug were both very appealing to the committee.”

Begay is known for being the descendant of Pueblo and Navajo parents, winning a national championship at Stanford — where he and Tiger Woods were roommates — and remaining friends with Woods through his off-course ordeals. He was on the Walker Cup team as an amateur and the Presidents Cup team as a PGA Tour member.
