The ‘most preventable, yet least prevented, cancer'²
Colon cancer affects all races, genders, and ethnicities, and it’s on the rise in people younger than 50.3 An estimated 60M adults in the United States remain unscreened for colon cancer,4,5 which is one reason why it is often caught in later stages when less treatable.6 Screening is vital in detecting cancer early. The Cologuard Classic by Exact Sciences is about so much more than golf. By kicking off National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March, this tournament can help raise awareness of colon cancer, highlight available screening options, and recognize those affected by the disease.
A sought-after
destination
for survivors
In 2023, more than 200 colorectal cancer patients, survivors, loved ones, and advocates attended the tournament from across the country. Exact Sciences proudly provides grants to more than 10 advocacy organizations for patients and survivors to attend the tournament.
For the fourth straight year, all PGA TOUR Champions players are playing on behalf of a survivor or in memory of someone who passed from colon cancer. See this year’s Pairings with a Pro.

Indications and Important Risk Information
Cologuard is intended to screen adults 45 years of age and older who are at average risk for colorectal cancer by detecting certain DNA markers and blood in the stool. Do not use if you have had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes, or a personal or family history of colorectal cancer. Cologuard is not a replacement for colonoscopy in high risk patients. Cologuard performance in adults ages 45-49 is estimated based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older. Cologuard performance in repeat testing has not been evaluated.
The Cologuard test result should be interpreted with caution. A positive test result does not confirm the presence of cancer. Patients with a positive test result should be referred for colonoscopy. A negative test result does not confirm the absence of cancer. Patients with a negative test result should discuss with their doctor when they need to be tested again. False positives and false negative results can occur. In a clinical study, 13% of people without cancer received a positive result (false positive) and 8% of people with cancer received a negative result (false negative). Rx only.
*Based on 2022 USA single year census estimates for ages 45-85 inclusive and the percentage of unscreened subjects. Does not account for variable screening rates across age ranges.
