14 Jul 76th Annual Tupper Lake Pro-Am Golf Tournament Scheduled
The 76th Annual Tupper Lake Pro-Am Golf Tournament will take place August 8-10 at the Tupper Lake Golf Club. Registration is open to the public at TupperLakeGolf.com. Tournament green fees and registration start at $100, with several pricing options available for different flights. Cart rental is $40 for the two-day tournament.
The tournament attracts golfers from across the Northeast, along with players from as far away as California, Virginia, and Canada for a weekend of competition, camaraderie, and celebration. The event features both professional and amateur divisions, drawing an average of 25 professional golfers and 130 amateur players each year, many of whom take part year after year.
Competitors will vie for cash prizes and merchandise, including $2,000 for the first-place professional and $1,000 for the first-place senior professional. Amateurs will compete for TaylorMade merchandise.
The excitement kicks off on Friday, August 8, when players can participate in an optional skins game with a $20 entry fee, providing golfers the chance to familiarize themselves with the course. The day continues with the long drive and putting contests, sponsored by TaylorMade, where golfers can showcase their power and precision.
On Saturday, August 9, the tournament officially begins with the first round of play. As golfers navigate the challenging course, spectators can enjoy the lively atmosphere and scenic views. In the evening, participants and attendees can unwind with dinner specials at The Clubhouse, located on-site.
The tournament concludes on Sunday, August 10, with the final round of play. The tournament culminates with an awards ceremony following each flight.
Director of Golf and Course Supervisor, Evan LaBarge, shares his enthusiasm for this year’s milestone tournament. “The Tupper Lake Pro-Am is a summer tradition that continues to grow each year, bringing together the best of our community and the sport of golf,” he said. “It’s all made possible thanks to the dedication of our grounds crew, golf shop team, volunteers, and the generous support of our tournament sponsors, who help make this event one to remember.”
Many renowned professional golfers, including Matt Campbell, Scott Berliner, Robert MeHeran, and James Chung, competed in last year’s event. Campbell won the 75th Tupper Lake Open in 2024, capturing the pro title, with Berliner placing second. Robert MeHeran won the Senior Pro, with James Chung finishing as runner-up.
Beyond the impressive field of competitors, this milestone tournament is set against the scenic and storied landscape of the Tupper Lake Golf Club—a course that has challenged golfers for generations. Built in 1932 by renowned architect Donald J. Ross, the 18-hole, par-71 layout is widely regarded as one of the Adirondacks’ most challenging and scenic courses.
