Cassy Tully Art of Erin Hills Golf Course for Next 18 Auction Benefitting Veterans

Erin, WI -  Next 18, the organization whose mission is to use the sport of golf as a conduit to provide transformational mental health resources and holistic life resource training to veterans and first responders, is pleased to announce that they have commissioned golf artist and philanthropist Cassy Tully to create a 12 X 24” original work of art of Hole #18 at Erin Hills Golf Course to benefit a three-week online auction in May, 2024.

Anchoring Cassy’s painting is the expansive timber-and-stone clubhouse of Erin Hills, flanked by the Caddie Barn. Shrouded in mist, the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians, at nearby Holy Hill is visible in the background, replicating the mystical feeling that the area is known for. This beautiful painting will include sand from the course, adding dimension and a textural feel.

“Cassy’s mission of giving back by using her artistic talents is an ideal alignment with our mission,” said Matt McDonell, executive director of Next 18. “Her love of golf, paired with her easily recognizable painting style, is sure to generate an exciting painting of this memorable course to benefit the veterans and first responders we are honored to serve.”

With its roots in the Kettle Moraine area, carved by glaciers and surrounded by wetlands and a river, Erin Hills Golf Course is a mix of traditional and modern elements, as well as a champion test that leaves many golfers feeling as though they’ve never played elsewhere. The windswept 18-hole links-style course hosted the 2017 U.S. Open; the 2022 U.S. Mid-Amateur, and will host the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open Championship. 

“I am honored to partner with Next 18 to paint an original work of art to benefit the important mission of this inspiring organization,” Cassy said. “Showcasing legendary Erin Hills on canvas is an exciting blend of giving back and art, and the online auction will be beneficial for the veterans and families of Next 18.”

The Union League of Philadelphia, ranked the #1 City Club in the country for an unprecedented sixth consecutive time, has commissioned sports and lifestyle artist Cassy Tully to create original holiday artwork depicting the club’s historic League House. The League is also hosting Cassy for a print signing during their Holiday Show on Thursday, December 6, 2023.

Since its founding in 1862, the League House, occupying an entire city block, has represented the values of freedom and enterprise, inspiring its more than 4,000 members who contribute to club life and preserve its traditions.

Cassy’s original 12 X 16” artwork depicts the majesty of the League House’s French Renaissance architecture, ribbons of snow gathered softly along its roofline and gracing its window pediments. Festive garland and bursts of red holly berries adorn the twin circular staircases and entrance roof, while wreaths, hung in the windows, beckon members with their holiday spirit.

“I am honored that my painting will be a treasured part of the Union League’s collection,” Cassy said. “Preserving our historic places on canvas is a remarkable legacy to leave for current and future Union League members and the guests that are so warmly welcomed into its halls.”

In addition to the painting, 12 X 16” prints and beautiful boxed notecards will be available in the Union League’s gift shop. This collection is an opportunity for members and guests to bring home a treasured keepsake.

The League House, built in 1865, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. At 1.25 million square feet of size, the building occupies eight floors, housing a distinguished collection of art. Its artifacts, adorning the walls and hallways, are recognized by historians and art experts as valued American history.

Cassy Tully Creates Painting Depicting Fallen Oak Golf Course, Host of 2023 VGA National Championship

The Veteran Golfers Association is hosting their National Championship on September 17-21, 2023, at Fallen Oak Golf Course, exclusive to Beau Rivage Resort and Casino. The VGA has commissioned Cassy Tully, sports and lifestyle artist, to create an 18 X 36” painting depicting the stately clubhouse, its expansive windows framing a spectacular view of the majestic tree that inspired the club’s name. 

Cassy’s remarkable painting highlights the course’s soft mist, with fog rising elegantly from the water near the 18th hole. The radiant lights of the clubhouse draw the eye, and the setting is balanced by the textural splendor of the massive oak. Overlooking the scene is a lustrous sky, washed with soft pinks and delicate opal clouds. 

“I am pleased to continue supporting the VGA and their dedication to enriching the lives of Veterans and their family members through golf,” Cassy said. “As I painted, I let my brush be inspired by the commitment our Veterans have made to serve our country, creating the colors of the sky especially as a source of hope and solace.”

Fallen Oak, a beautiful Tom Fazio-designed course, is operated by Beau Rivage Casino Resort in Biloxi, Mississippi. Fazio thoughtfully balanced the land’s original contours with natural elements to create a sense of artistry and adrenalin across the 18-hole, par-72 championship layout. 

Cassy’s painting captures Fazio’s respect for nature in an ideal blend of light and harmony. This painting will also be reproduced as 12 X 24” Limited Edition Commemorative Prints, signed and numbered. Cassy will attend the Champions Dinner on September 20th, a wonderful opportunity for members and guests to meet her, have prints personalized, and learn more about her championship golf artwork.

“The impact of these events on Veterans and their loved ones is tremendous,” Cassy said. “Being part of the patriotism and ongoing support of the VGA in bringing together Veterans and the wider golf community is inspiring.”

The 2023 BMW Championship will take place at Olympia Fields Country Club, Olympia Fields, IL, on August 15 - 20, 2023. Cassy, whose sports and lifestyle paintings are collected internationally, created an original masterpiece for the championship.

The nationally ranked North Course is one of Golf Digest’s “Top 100 Greatest Courses,” with Olympia Fields hosting the 2002 U.S. Open, the 2017 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, and the 2020 BMW Championship.

Cassy’s 24 X 30” painting depicts the triumphant moment of the world’s top-ranked golfer Jon Rahm sinking a 66-foot putt to win the 2020 BMW Championship, with the scene anchored by the club’s majestic clock tower.

“One of the greatest joys of being a golf artist is depicting the moments when preparation, skill, and ingenuity meet to create remarkable golf moments,” Cassy said. “Showing the top ranked Jon Rahm at the point of victory creates a feeling on canvas that’s palpable.”

A limited edition series of prints, posters and ornaments will be created from Cassy’s painting, available in the merchandise tent during the championship. She will also be available during an exclusive Members Preview Party on August 12th to sign and personalize prints and ornaments. This is a wonderful opportunity for Olympia Fields Members to meet Cassy and learn more about her golf-inspired artwork.

The North Course at Olympia Fields was designed in 1923 by Willie Park, Jr., two-time Open Champion and grandfather of inland golf design. Cassy’s painting depicts the beauty and grace of Park’s design through her signature relief-painting technique.

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.”

Montana’s expansive sky, majestic mountains, and wild horses have beckoned generations of explorers, artists, and those who treasure its endless allure. Cassy Tully, sports and lifestyle artist, is following their trail, continuing her artistic journey by temporarily relocating her studio in beautiful Billings, MT. Her paintings are showcased at some of the most prestigious clubs in the country, and the new location offers refreshing opportunities for her to paint large-scale masterpieces, inspired by the area’s legendary landscape.

This is truly God’s country.”

Many of these experiences included her signature Member-Guest golf event, when celebrated courses commissioned Cassy to create an original work of art as tee gifts.

“Member-Guest tee gift projects have increased in popularity,” she said. “Pairing my commissioned painting with limited-edition prints and an on-site visit with me is a memorable way to celebrate each club’s beauty and also provide a timeless gift.”
