North Shore Country Club Commissions Artist Cassy Tully for 121st Western Amateur

The 121st Western Amateur will take place on July 31 - August 5, 2023, at North Shore Country Club in Glenview, IL. Cassy Tully, whose sports and lifestyle paintings are collected internationally, was commissioned to create an original painting for the event.

Founded in 1900, North Shore Country Club features a 7,031-yard, 18-hole golf course designed by English architect Hugh Alison. North Shore has hosted multiple national tournaments, including the 1933 U.S. Open and 1939 and 1983 U.S. Amateur. This year, North Shore will be hosting the 121st Western Amateur, renowned for being the toughest test in amateur golf and a prestigious national championship since its founding in 1899. The Club last hosted the tournament in 2011.

The Western Amateur is presented by the Western Golf Association, which conducts championships for professional and amateur golfers, promotes the use of youth caddies, and supports the Evans Scholars Foundation’s efforts to award full tuition and housing college scholarships, providing a program that addresses barriers to college success.

Cassy’s painting features the par-4, 412-yard 9th hole. Created in her signature relief-painting style, the view is anchored by the majestic clubhouse that overlooks a sweeping, emerald fairway. Honoring the Evans Scholars Foundation’s mission of supporting high-achieving caddies, the painting prominently features a golfer and caddy walking together in their approach from fairway to green. The caddy’s bib displays the iconic WGA and Evans Scholars logo. The painting will be reproduced as prints, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Evans Scholars Foundation.

“My painting highlights the true partnership between a golfer and caddy,” Cassy said. “It is my mission to use my talent to give back, and there is no better opportunity in golf than supporting the WGA and Evans Scholars Foundation.”

Cassy’s original commissioned paintings, prints and golf-inspired masterpieces are available by visiting www.cassytully.com. Watch Cassy’s video about the event here.

Cassy established her first studio in nearby Plymouth, WI, in 2008, building that into an charming downtown destination complete with a gallery and framing shop. Thanks to the support and the patronage of her collectors, Cassy has become a celebrated golf artist who has created original paintings for several golf championships, including the PGA of America; the Arnold Palmer Foundation; the BMW Championship; and most recently, the 43rd Ryder Cup, which took place at Whistling Straits in Kohler, WI. 

ARTspace exhibits collections handcrafted by North American artists and is the ideal setting to showcase Cassy’s paintings, created especially for the event. These beautiful paintings include Tuscan-themed landscapes, honoring Cassy’s Italian style; brilliantly lit sunflower fields; sunset-inspired masterpieces, and paintings continuing her popular butterfly series.

“It was a joy to paint this collection,” Cassy said. “My roots are in Wisconsin, and it’s significant personally to have ARTspace host an event celebrating my 15th anniversary of Cassy Tully - Fine Art. Not only has Kohler Company been a long-standing patron of my art, but the Sheboygan community, and beyond, has supported both my work and my ongoing commitment to philanthropy.”

Cassy’s paintings will be displayed at ARTspace beginning in mid-April through October, 2023.

“We are honored to display Cassy’s work across Kohler properties, including golf courses, within Kohler Company, and especially at ARTspace in Kohler,” said Julia Jackson, shop manager at JMKAC. “We are pleased to celebrate her remarkable achievement.”

XXIO is pleased to continue its partnership with sports and lifestyle artist Cassy Tully, welcoming her once again to its annual XXIO Dealer Conference at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in S.C., on May 7 - 10, 2023. Known for its championship courses and top-level tournaments, the resort is a remarkable setting for this annual event.

Cassy has captured the natural beauty in her limited-edition prints, featuring the Ocean Course Clubhouse, anchoring a panoramic sweep of the 14th Hole. Cassy’s signature relief-painting style captures the clubhouse’s weathered exterior and wraparound porches, overlooking the exposed par-3 hole. The demanding Ocean Course, designed by legendary golf course architect Pete Dye, offers unobstructed views of the coastline, along with challenging conditions thanks to the Atlantic Ocean’s unpredictable breezes. 

XXIO will host Cassy at this event to present her art at a special awards dinner, where each guest will receive a beautiful limited-edition print as a gift. After the event, Cassy will be available to meet guests to sign and personalize their print. 

These prints are now part of the suite of XXIO’s commissioned golf collection, featuring Cassy’s artwork of Whistling Straits, Blackwolf Run, Pebble Beach, and Kiawah Island Golf Resort. The Dealer Conference is the perfect opportunity for guests to expand their golf collection and bring home a personalized memory of these iconic courses.

XXIO Hosts Cassy Tully for Father-Son Tournament at Pebble Beach

XXIO is pleased to announce that it partnered with sports and lifestyle artist Cassy Tully, and welcomed her to its annual Father-Son Golf Tournament at Pebble Beach, six-time host of the U.S. Open Championship and the number one public golf course and resort in America. 

Pebble Beach and XXIO have hosted the Father-Son Golf Event for over 30 years. The four-night, three-round friendly competition welcomes families from all 50 states and from countries around the world for the experience of a lifetime. 

Playing the iconic courses of Pebble Beach, Spyglass, and Spanish Bay, golfers enjoyed not only the challenge of these remarkable courses, but the opportunity to create memories that no other event can replicate.

Cassy painted Pebble Beach’s iconic 7th Hole, a 106-yard par-3, the shortest on the PGA Tour. Her painting depicts the expansive water view, surf spraying in a glittering arc. The green, surrounded on three sides by the bay, is the ideal setting for Cassy’s signature relief-painting style, which depicts the textural rough and the rim of rugged shoreline. 

She has also participated in XXIO’s Dealer Conferences at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, SC, and Whistling Straits in Kohler, WI. 

“I am thrilled to partner with XXIO,” Cassy said. “Capturing the beloved setting of Pebble Beach on canvas is both an artist’s dream come true and a wonderful keepsake for golfers to treasure. I am honored that this painting went home with my newest Collector who is from Thailand.”

Limited-edition prints were shared of this beautiful painting, available during a special awards dinner during the tournament. Cassy attended the dinner, and was available to personalize prints and meet guests and their families.

“We are honored by our long-standing relationship with Pebble Beach and in this family-friendly event that is a dream come true for so many,” said Chuck Thiry of XXIO. “Commissioning an accomplished artist like Cassy to create this custom gift and welcoming her at the event is a wonderful way for our valued patrons to make memories and build a bridge between golf and art.”
