New this year, the tournament is adding an inspirational and powerful experience for everyone that is all about honoring our American heroes.

For 2024 the tournament is set to welcome the new Folds of Honor experience, adding a meaningful and heartwarming layer to the event. Folds of Honor is a nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members. Their mission now expands to the families of America’s first responders.

Not only will Folds of Honor be part of the tournament, but the man behind the mission, Lt. Col. Don Rooney, will be in attendance. Lt. Col. Don Rooney, a decorated military officer, is known for his compelling and inspirational speeches and will be the speaker at a very special breakfast event to kick off Fold of Honor Friday at the tournament.

Lt. Col. Don Rooney has an extensive heroic resume as a decorated F-16 pilot with 3 combat tours over Iraq. He is also a Class A member of the PGA is is the only fighter pilot and PGA professional ever, not to mention one inspiring man.
