Collegiate stars to play for a spot in the Northern Trust Open

Published

on

This year at the Northern Trust Open, tournament officials are rolling out something new. On Monday, Feb. 16, the Northern Trust Open will kick off with something organizers are calling the Collegiate Showcase.

Here’s what it is

Tour pros are slated to play alongside 14 top collegiate golfers and an additional 28 amateurs. The pros and two amateurs will compete in a best-ball competition for the College Showcase Trophy and a $50,000 donation to the winning university’s golf program.

The collegians, for their part, will play their own ball for…wait for it…a spot in the Northern Trust Open.

How cool is that?

Talking about the Showcase, Northern Trust Open Executive Director O.D. Vincent said:

“Our goal is to promote growth of the game by bringing more attention, and ultimately funds, to collegiate golf, and to offer another avenue for an up-and-coming collegiate player to experience the best the PGA TOUR has to offer.”

Here are the players and college golfers set to take part in this interesting and innovative competition to experience “the best the PGA Tour has to offer.”
