Ford Martin Overcomes in Playoff to Capture 2025 Title

The 2nd Chicago Adaptive Open delivered everything adaptive golf stands for — resilience, camaraderie, and excellence.

On a sun-soaked Sunday at Fox Bend Golf Course, Ford Martin (Nashville, Tenn. / Neurological & Coordination Impairment) sealed his victory with a clutch birdie on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff against Victor Postillion (Winfield, Ill. / Leg Impairment Above the Knee).

Martin finished the 36-hole championship at 2-over-par (73–73), powering a 340-yard drive over Fox Bend’s daunting creek on the decisive playoff hole.

“It feels like a major.”
— Ford Martin, 2025 Chicago Adaptive Open Champion
