History of the Tournament

The President’s Golf Tournament was founded by former Brock University President, David Atkinson, and former Brock Board of Trustees Chair, David Howes.

As a strong supporter of Brock Athletics, David Howes felt that the community needed to learn how committed student-athletes were to become successful on and off the field and that an ease in their financial considerations would dramatically help them reach their goals.

The tournament was created with the intent to raise the reputation of Brock Athletics in the community, and to provide financial support to student athletes.

Funds Raised to Date:

$1,235,978.88

Proceeds from the President’s Golf Classic are earmarked for scholarships and financial support for Brock University’s student-athletes.
