I (Tim Reilly) was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease 20 years ago. I went from having no idea what the disease was to experiencing everything the disease has to offer. For better and worse, Crohn’s has changed my life.

In 2025, the disease once again took its toll on my body and led to several surgeries and an intense treatment and recovery process for much of the year. With the help of a world-class medical team, family, friends, and colleagues, I came through with a better appreciation for the little things in life.

Spending time on the golf course was something I didn’t get to experience much last year. I thought, what better way to move forward than to bring loved ones to my favorite course to play, Bethpage Red, and raise further awareness and funds for a cause near and dear to my heart: The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation.

Whatever life brings your way, Gut It Out. That’s a mantra I live by… and have also literally had guts taken out of me. This is my first time hosting a charity event of this magnitude, and I can’t wait to see you there!
