Tournament rundown

How the scramble works

Foursome scramble. Must use 2 drives from each player. Each player tees off; picks ball in best position; and then each hits from that position. Repeat for every shot. Pink Ball contest.

Why we play

Every dollar stays right here at home

The Wide Open Golf Classic is more than a tournament—it's a movement to uplift our youth and strengthen our community. Every dollar raised goes directly toward substance abuse prevention programs, financial support for children's participation in sports and activities, and donations to local causes highlighted at our event.

We believe in the power of pro-social engagement and are committed to supporting young people—especially those who have experienced trauma—by giving them the opportunity to explore their passions through athletics and other enriching pursuits. From now until graduation, we aim to remove financial barriers and foster connection, growth, and resilience in every child we support.

Thanks to the care and generosity of our donors, we are helping build a stronger, healthier future—right here at home.
