Ben Griffin Skips Hero World Challenge for Wedding as Sponsor CEO Officiates

He kept a long-planned wedding date after a season that vaulted him into golf’s elite.

Overview

  • Griffin married Dana Myeroff on December 6, the same weekend as Tiger Woods’ 20-player Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.
  • He said Woods’ team invited him to the $5 million event, but he declined because it conflicted with the wedding.
  • “It’s a bummer to not be able to play in the Hero,” Griffin said, adding he was excited for the ceremony.
  • Lord Abbett CEO Doug Sieg became ordained and officiated the wedding, reflecting a sponsorship that began in 2021 and was extended in September.
  • Griffin’s 2025 included three PGA Tour wins, a rise to No. 9 in the world, a Ryder Cup debut, and about $11.7 million in earnings plus a $3.4 million bonus after earlier concerns about returning to Q-School.
