PGA TOUR® Golfer Jason Day Takes the Mound with TruGreen for an Unexpected First Pitch
America's No. 1 lawn care provider celebrates the "pro-worthy" standard shared by the PGA TOUR® and Minor League Baseball
FRANKLIN, Tenn., June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, June 23, PGA TOUR® golfer and TruGreen partner Jason Day will deliver an unexpected twist on the ceremonial first pitch as he steps onto the mound at Dunkin' Park in Hartford, CT. The difference is this "pitch" will be done with his pitching wedge and will launch a golf ball over home plate! The stunt, executed in partnership with TruGreen, America's No. 1 lawn care provider, highlights the local expertise and precision that keeps green spaces everywhere looking their best.
"Usually, I'm not bringing my wedge to a baseball stadium, but when the grass is this good, you just have to play on it," says Jason Day, PGA TOUR golfer and TruGreen partner. "I've spent my whole career performing on the world's best-kept greens, and I know the precision it takes to keep turf in peak condition. I partner with TruGreen because they bring that same professional level of detail to my own yard. It takes the guesswork out of the process, leaving me more time to enjoy the space with my family."
