🥂 An unforgettable night at The Peninsula Chicago.
The 2026 Green Coat Gala Presented by Peter Millar celebrated the life-changing power of caddying with Ohio Evans Scholar Emmy Holt and a fireside chat featuring NBC Sports' Steve Sands and golf legend Bernhard Langer.

ALT A gala program card is displayed on a table set for dining. The card reads "The 15th Annual Green Coat Gala presented by Peter Millar" and mentions "Evans Scholars Foundation" and "The Peninsula Chicago, Nov. 6, 2026." A photo on the card shows two individuals in golf attire on a course, each carrying a golf bag bearing the WGA logo.

ALT A large group of people is gathered in a formal banquet hall for the "Green Coat Gala" by Peter Millar. The room is filled with round tables where attendees are seated, dressed in formal attire, and engaged in conversation. The background features a wooden wall and a stage with a large sign displaying the event's name.
Over the years, the Green Coat Gala has given us the opportunity to hear firsthand how the Evans Scholarship has created opportunities that once seemed out of reach.
Tonight, another Evans Scholar will take the stage to share her journey. We can't wait for you to hear it.

Seahawks hadn’t allowed points on the opening drive in 16 straight games.
The Bears just went 80 yards in 17 plays for a touchdown over 8:32.
What a statement.
1️⃣ week until the 2026 Green Coat Gala Presented by @petermillar.
Can't wait to welcome major champion Bernhard Langer as this year's featured guest for a special evening celebrating the Evans Scholars Program and our mission.

Patrick Kane smiling and shaking his head in disbelief seeing Connor Bedard's lethal wrist shot on his 1st goal of the season.
He appears to mouth: "That's a rocket." 😂 #Blackhawks

A Salute to Mike Ditka
The Chicago Bears icon stands alone as the only Hall of Fame player in NFL history to later win a Super Bowl as a head coach

.@olin_kreutz shares a great Mike Ditka story.
The first time they met was at the NFL Combine. Kreutz was a prospect who had gotten into a fight with a teammate in college at Washington.
Ditka asked for the meeting. Kreutz sat down while Ditka poured a drink, lit a cigar and asked him about the fight.
So Kreutz told him and here's how the rest of the conversation went.
Ditka: "Would you do it again?"
Kreutz: "Well, if he wanted to fight me, I probably would fight him again."
Ditka: "I love that. That's all I needed to hear. I don't need a center this year. I just wanted to hear the story."

RIP Mike Ditka 🕯️
The signature play from Iron Mike's Hall of Fame career as of one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history
Returning home to Pittsburgh in 1963, Ditka rumbled 63 yards with a Billy Wade pass late in the game — setting up a Bears field goal to salvage a 17-17 tie with the Steelers.
A key play in the Chicago's 1963 NFL title march
