This year’s tournament has expanded to 15 men’s teams and 15 women’s teams and will be broadcast on Golf Channel
The third annual Folds of Honor Collegiate will be contested September 9 to 11 at the Jack Nicklaus-designed American Dunes Golf Club in Grand Haven, Mich.
This year’s tournament has expanded to 15 men’s teams and 15 women’s teams.
The 54-hole event will be broadcast live on Golf Channel and simulcast on Peacock and Golf Channel’s digital platforms.
“As a former collegiate golfer at Kansas, and after speaking to the players and coaches the past two years, I understand how special and important this event is,” Lt Col Dan Rooney, founder and CEO of Folds of Honor, said in a press release. “To be able to play for more than yourself or even your team separates this tournament from all others.
“When we began to reimagine American Dunes, Mr. Nicklaus and I always envisioned hosting a collegiate event. In three short years, we have a top-rated men’s and women’s field, extensive network coverage, and a Presenting Sponsor in Michelob ULTRA that highlights Anheuser-Busch’s longstanding support of our mission. This represents so many people coming together to support and honor our scholarship recipients and our country on an outstanding golf course. Having the final round on 9/11 adds even more meaning to this patriotic event.”
