More than $45k Raised at Troon Facilities during World's Largest Golf Outing

(Scottsdale, Ariz.) – On Monday, August 3, 11 Troon facilities joined a total of 132 golf courses across America hosting the fifth annual World’s Largest Golf Outing that raised more than $1 million, a record high, for Wounded Warrior Project (WWP).

Through a portion of player entry fees, contests and 100% of donations, participating Troon courses contributed $46,046 to WWP, the national organization that honors and empowers injured servicemen and women, their caregivers and families.  Of the 12,300-plus participants, nearly 600 – including 44 WWP Alumni – teed it up at Troon courses from New York to Hawaii to make meaningful differences in the lives of Wounded Warriors.

Five Oaks Golf & Country Club (Lebanon, TN) led fundraising with $11,170 while Troon North Golf Club (Scottsdale, AZ) welcomed the largest field of 125 golfers with 27 WWP Alumni.  Click HERE for a video recap of the World’s Largest Golf Outing at Troon North.

For the second consecutive year Troon partnered with Billy Casper Golf, which founded the highly emotional event in 2011, ClubCorp and Toll Golf to cement the World’s Largest Golf Outing as the biggest one-day celebration of golf and charity.
