The Henry Tuten Gator Bowl Pro-Am is celebrating a significant milestone with its 50th playing this year. Scheduled for December 14-15 at the Sea Island Resort, the tournament will be held on the Seaside and Plantation Courses on St. Simons Island, Georgia. This beloved holiday golf event annually attracts a diverse field of professionals from the PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions, LIV, Korn Ferry Tour, and PGA Tour Americas, alongside club professionals from the local area.
This year's 50th anniversary will be a moment to honor Henry Tuten, the tournament's namesake, who passed away in March at the age of 97. Tuten left a considerable legacy, including over $100,000 in charitable contributions to area golf-nonprofits in the last six years. Participants will play 36 holes under a gross best ball format, with each pro grouped with three amateurs. Early commitments include notable PGA Tour winners like Russell Knox, Keith Mitchell, and Harold Varner III.
