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.”

GolfWRX is on site this week at the Valero Texas Open.

The event has been around since 1922, making it one of the oldest on the PGA Tour calendar. Over the years, it’s been held at a variety of courses across the Lone Star State, but it’s found its home at TPC San Antonio in recent years. Some of the biggest names in golf have taken home the title here, including Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, and Ben Crenshaw.

GolfWRX has its usual assortment of general galleries, WITBs and special pull-out albums. As always, we’ll continue to update the links below as more photos come in from TPC San Antonio.
