John Chaney: Chasing Greatness

This fundraiser will help me to continue my professional golf career!

The generosity and support on this page is amazing and I am so grateful.

Thank you for listening to my story!

Hello!

I am John Chaney, professional golfer from Cleveland, Ohio. I now make my home in Estero, Florida - for the weather of course.

I fell in love with golf at age 2. In the backyard I practiced my swing!

At Wittenberg University, I was a 2x All-American and 2x All-American Scholar. 

I graduated in 2015 with a double major in Marketing Management and Sport Management.

Background:

In college my results and statistics improved each year. I won four times at Wittenberg, including the 2013 Gordin Classic with a final round 68(-4).

During my senior season I took on more responsibility and my scores dropped. I was team captain and we finished a program-best 3rd at NCAA championship.

In the final year at Wittenberg my scoring average led the team (73.36), and finished top-20 in the country. 40% of my rounds were par or better.

I was the NCAC Conference medalist by 7 shots, and finished 7th at the 2015 NCAA Championship.

Other highlights include shooting 65 (-6) in the 2nd round of the 2014 Saguaro Amateur in Mericopa, AZ and a T-8 finish at the 2014 Northern Amateur.

What's Next?

After earning PGA Tour Latinoamerica membership at the Summer Q-school, I will play in 7 countries this fall. The tour ranges from Central to South America, from September-December.

I will also play the Web.com Tour Qualifying School, set to begin early September.

Cost:

Professional golf is very expensive.

My cost for PGA Tour Latino America will be $15,000.

Web.com Qualifying school will cost $10,000.

This page will help me to have some supplementary support for meals, gas, etc. 

6-Month Plan:

1) Compete on PGA Tour Latinoamerica.
2) Advance in Web.com Q School.
3) Increase my experience and skill level as a professional golfer.  

12-Month Goals:

1) Renew membership for PGA Tour Latinoamerica, 2017 season.
2) Make first start on Web.com Tour (2017).
3) Increase my experience and earnings.

Thank you!

My family and friends have supported my golf career in countless ways. I am grateful for their love and belief in my game. I am blessed with their encouragement to continue this career!
