The event grossed nearly $30,000 including sponsorships, gifts-in-kind, and silent auction proceeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a great turnout of program alumni as well. Participating this year: Walt Clark (2009), Chad Culver (1999), David Elliott (1992), Bay Griffin (2025), Jennifer Hall (2000, 2002); Matt Hollifield (2013), Jack Ligon (2008), Todd McMinn (1997; 1999), Stan Norris (2016), Jason Pedone (1998); Derek Phillips (2016), Kirby Simpson (2022), Drew Sims (2013), Brandon Spurlock (2009), Allen Sitzler (2000), Todd Wakefield (2008), and Ryan Willis (2005).&nbsp; Partners in Sports founder Dr. Buck Jones was also on hand for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An added feature to this year&#8217;s tournament was the coaching staff of the Tennessee Women&#8217;s Golf Team interacting with our players on the course. Special thanks to Anna Newell (2018), Diana Cantu, and Kristen Golightly on supporting the tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great job by the Championship Committee on planning and executing the event. Also, thanks to the Visit Knoxville Sports Commission, Tennessee Athletics, Steve Sams, First Bank, Chick-fil-A, The Wakefield Corporation, the Volunteer Club, and Rocky Top Materials for their continued support of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great Day on the Links for 21st Golf Tournament It was a great day for golf Monday, June 9, 2025, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3428,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-wide.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-43","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/partners.utk.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/43","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/partners.utk.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/partners.utk.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/partners.utk.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/partners.utk.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"http:\/\/partners.utk.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/43\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3429,"href":"http:\/\/partners.utk.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/43\/revisions\/3429"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/partners.utk.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/partners.utk.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
