An Historical Greater Cleveland Golf Event
Originally known as the Plain Dealer Invitational, the Northeast Ohio Amateur Championship was rescued and re-branded by the Northern Ohio Golf Association in 1965.
The NEO Am has a history of illustrious champions, most notably the late Arnold Palmer, who got his exceptional career started in Northeast Ohio as a young Coast Guard member in 1953.
Other notables include three-time NEO Am champ Bob Shave Jr. who also played on the pro tour; and Joe Ungvary Sr., a five-time NEO Am Champion who also won a U.S. Senior Amateur Championship. See the full roster of past champions — it’s a who’s who of local golf greats.
