Stop 06 — St. Augustine Beach

THE CHAMPION’S JOURNEY

From centuries of history to miles of coastline.

2025 St. Augustine Amateur Champion Adam Vermut and the Helmet trade the historic streets for the sand at St. Augustine Beach.

One of the things that makes the St. Augustine Amateur experience so unique is everything waiting beyond the golf course. Players and their families can compete in a nationally recognized championship, then find themselves along the Atlantic Ocean just minutes later.

Whether it’s an early-morning walk, an afternoon on the sand, or simply taking in the view, the coast is another reason to make your tournament trip more than just 54 holes.

From History to the Horizon.

One Champion. One Helmet. One Historic Destination.

Stop 05 — Castillo de San Marcos

THE CHAMPION’S JOURNEY

You can’t tell the story of St. Augustine without this stop.

2025 St. Augustine Amateur Champion Adam Vermut and the Helmet arrive at the Castillo de San Marcos—an enduring symbol of the history and character that make America’s Oldest City unlike any other destination.

Standing along the Matanzas Bay for more than three centuries, the Castillo is a reminder that history here isn’t something you simply read about. It surrounds you.

For the players and families who travel to compete in the St. Augustine Amateur each December, championship golf is only part of the experience. Just beyond the course waits a destination filled with history, culture, coastline and experiences worth staying a little longer to discover.

Built to Stand the Test of Time.

One Champion. One Helmet. One Historic Destination.

THE CHAMPION’S JOURNEY

From historic streets to one of St. Augustine’s most iconic views.

2025 St. Augustine Amateur Champion Adam Vermut and the Helmet have made their way to the Bayfront and the Bridge of Lions—where the heart of the city meets the Matanzas River.

For players and families visiting for the St. Augustine Amateur, experiences like this are just minutes away from championship golf. Walk the Bayfront, cross the Bridge of Lions, explore the historic district, and discover why a trip to compete in St. Augustine can become much more than a tournament weekend.

THE CHAMPION’S JOURNEY — STOP 03

Some places make you stop and take in the view.

2025 St. Augustine Amateur Champion Adam Vermut and the Helmet continue their journey through St. Augustine with a stop in one of the city’s iconic historic courtyards—surrounded by the architecture, palm trees and unmistakable character of America’s Oldest City.

It’s another reminder of what makes a trip to the St. Augustine Amateur different. Championship golf may bring our players and their families here, but there is an entire destination waiting to be experienced beyond the course.

Where the Past Still Lives.

THE CHAMPION’S JOURNEY BEGINS.

Before the first tee. Before the final putt. Before a champion is crowned, there is St. Augustine.

2025 St. Augustine Amateur Champion Adam Vermut is taking the tournament’s iconic Spanish helmet on a journey through America’s Oldest City, visiting some of the places that make St. Augustine unlike anywhere else.

Stop 01: The Old City Gates

For centuries, these gates have welcomed people into St. Augustine. Today, they mark the beginning of a different journey as our defending champion carries a piece of tournament tradition through the city we are proud to call home.

Over the coming weeks, follow Adam and the helmet through eight historic St. Augustine stops as we count down to the 2026 St. Augustine Amateur.
