“This year’s field is stacked with talent, and the course is in perfect condition with very fast and tricky greens,” ” Rockledge PGA Professional Matt Morrison. “I see even par as a great score this year to win the Championship flight.”
The Platinum has a history of producing close and competitive finishes, including last year with Eastern Florida State College standout Masen McKain winning in a three-hole sudden death playoff.
Some of the top local players in the field this year include EFSC’s Horace Pennix, 2024 top 3 finisher Zach McGoffin, Daniel Boyd, 2019 Champion Tom Miller and Rockledge Club champion Aaron Hattaway.
The event will not only feature the Championship Flight. Also participating are players of all skill levels and ages with a men’s flight, senior men, super senior and ladies division winners.
