The classic, formerly known as Will’s Tourney, was held annually from 2008 to 2019 to honor the life of alumnus Will Wiersma (’06), who died in a tragic car accident less than five months after graduating.

Check-in begins at 10:30 a.m. and the tournament begins at 12:00 p.m. with a shotgun start. The tri-tip and chicken BBQ dinner will be served at 4:30 p.m. at the Frog Bar and Grill on the course.

Players can register individually or as a group. The course is in excellent condition, offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and tests players of all skill levels. All money raised will support students at Westmont, where students from all economic backgrounds can receive a life-changing education.

Several sponsorship opportunities for the tournament are available at westmont.edu/golf-classic/sponsorships.
