Tournament of Champions

It’s pretty simple. Create your own play-in event or add a small fee to an existing event in pretty much any format you would like. Your task is to create a two-man team champion and raise the $1750 entry fee. Send us the names of your winners and they will receive an invite to the 2026 Tournament of Champions to be held at the Country Club of Harrisburg on October 15, 2026.

Any local club (private or public), charitable organization, golf league, existing tournament, or even your weekend group of friends can create a two-man team event to be held anytime during the 2026 golf season.

There are many different ways to hold a qualifying competition.  Some examples:

• Add $25 per person to your existing Member/Member or Member/Guest entry fee, assuming you have at least 36 teams participating.  You can then award the spot to the winning team or you can throw all flight winners into a hat and pick.  It's your call!

• Many clubs already host an annual Calcutta. You can incorporate the entry fee into the overall purse from The Calcutta and award the entry to the TOC to the winning team.

• Charge a small extra fee for a season-long competition.  Some clubs have created a point system for the three Holiday Tournaments (Memorial Day/Fourth of July/Labor Day), while others have incorporated it into their Tuesday night league competition.  A lot of clubs use it to incentivize members to participate in events.

• You can create a stand-alone event made up of any number of teams you wish.  The math is simple and laid out (below)

• Incorporate a "Closest to the pin" contest for a fee into an existing club tournament.  Some players and teams don't feel like they have a chance of winning a full tournament, however, everyone can get a closet to the pin! This is a great way to include players of all skill levels.

• You can run a raffle out of the pro shop and sell chances for any amount of money.

Let's keep this simple and you can fill in the rest on your own.  The first goal is to raise the entry fee.  Everything after that you keep for your own purposes.

• 8 teams/16 players:  $110 pp would cover your entry fee

• 16 teams/32 players: $55 pp would cover your entry fee

• 36 teams/72 players: $25 pp would cover your entry fee

• 50 teams/100 players: $17.50 pp would cover your entry fee

At the conclusion of your local event, you will submit the names and GHIN of your 2-person team and the Championship entry fee of $1,750 to Trinity Golf. Your participants will receive an official invite to TOC.

You keep it to use to help improve your club, charity, or league or pour it back into prizes for your local event!

As many as you like!  All we need is your entry fee for each 2-man team you enter into the TOC.  We will keep the field limited and exclusive so your winners will have an excellent chance in a small field event.

Like everything Trinity Golf does, the TOC Final is a first-class event from start to finish.  Our goal is to give away great prizes to the winners, however, the teams that do not win a travel prize will still go home very happy the day of the event!  TOC includes a great venue, a quality tee gift and great food and beverages throughout the day!

We let you set the format for your qualifying event, however, when your winners get to the Trinity Golf Tournament of Champions Finale, they will compete in a single-day, 18-hole Championship event.  The event will use the Stableford scoring system and all participants will receive 75% of their official USGA handicap.  There are huge grand prizes (Pebble Beach Invitational, Kinsale Cup, The Trinity Golf Championship, The Trinity Golf Shootout, and NW England as examples) that will be available for the winning teams.
