Proceeds from the event benefit the I AM a Golfer Foundation whose mission is to be a catalyst for community renewal and transformation in southern Dallas. More than 500 amateurs participate and attempt to qualify for the annual event culminating with the two day championship at Trinity Forest Golf Club, former home of the PGA TOUR’s AT&T Byron Nelson.

The championship golf course nestled within the Great Trinity Forest is less than 10 miles from downtown Dallas and was designed by the award-winning duo of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. The club serves as the home of SMU Golf, has hosted the PGA TOUR’s AT&T Byron Nelson, and annually hosts an NCAA invitational tournament along with additional high-profile professional and amateur events. Photo - Photo - Photo **CONFIDENTIAL - FOR SPONSOR** About Cedar Crest Golf Course Built in 1919 by legendary course architect A.W. Tilinghast, Cedar Crest Golf Course has long been regarded as a favorite by both local and national golf enthusiasts. In 1927, the course played host to the PGA Championship won by World Golf Hall of Fame member Walter Hagen. The course’s illustrious history includes hosting the USGA Public Links Championship in 1954 along with the United Golf Association’s Negro National Open the same year. Much has changed over the course’s 100 year history; however, the tradition of high quality and service to the community remains and is stewarded today by General Manager Ira Molayo, PGA.
