It’s been one week since the final putt dropped, and we’ve finally had a moment to reflect on what was an incredible 2026 tournament.
Pulling off seven days of events doesn’t happen without an army behind the scenes.
To our 406 volunteers—thank you for being the sunshine when we need it most, for always bringing a sense of humor (even when the coffee runs out and the radios won’t cooperate), for jumping in to help anyone and everyone, and for becoming true staples of this tournament and community. You somehow manage to keep things running smoothly and keep us laughing—and that’s no small feat.
To our sponsors, thank you for investing your hard-earned dollars to support this tournament and everything it represents. To the players, thank you for showcasing the beauty of the game and giving us a week of unforgettable moments.
To our small but mighty tournament staff—“small but mighty” might actually be underselling it. This group spends 12 months a year planning, pivoting, troubleshooting, and occasionally surviving on caffeine and group texts to make sure every detail is just right. They’re the first ones in, the last ones out, and the reason everything feels seamless (with the help of said army). Somehow, they make the chaos look like a well-rehearsed game plan.
To TPC Sugarloaf, thank you for pristine greens, a first-class clubhouse, and merchandise that somehow makes us all want “just one more thing.”
And finally, to the people who make this tournament possible at its core—our Title Sponsor Mitsubishi Electric, our Presenting Sponsor Vensure Employer Solutions, and our Tournament Host Stewart Cink. Simply put, without you, there is no tournament.
We’re grateful, we’re proud, and after a week to catch our breath… we’re already looking forward to doing it all over again.
