In this 15th tournament year, more than 1,100 girls and boys from The First Tee have played in the tournament.
Participants from The First Tee chapters, representing 22 states – including 17 players from Northern California – were selected by a national panel of judges based on playing ability and application of the Nine Core Values and life skills learned through their involvement with The First Tee’s programs: honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy, and judgment.
Junior competitor “alumni” include numerous boys and girls who have gone on to pro golf tour careers, including Harold Varner, Scott Langley, Cameron Champ, and Paula Creamer.
All three rounds of competition in the PURE Insurance Championship will be televised on Golf Channel.
