This week’s professional golf coverage includes an event offering a $250,000 purse for each player and captain, with extensive Golf Channel and streaming coverage. In Massachusetts, D-Y and Cape Tech competed in a boys’ golf match on Sept. 23. Hope College finished seventh in the 12-team Como Crossings Intercollegiate in Wisconsin, led by 11-over-par performances from two players who tied for 22nd individually; Dubuque and Carthage shared the team title. The 2026 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship will be held Oct. 29-Nov. 1 at New Zealand’s Te Arai Links, with the winner earning invitations to the 2027 Masters and 155th Open Championship. In Texarkana, Arkansas, LifeWise Academy will host a four-person scramble fundraiser on Oct. 8, with team fees beginning at $500 and sponsorships available.
Key Points

Hope’s two 11-over-par players reached those totals through contrasting scorecards: Voisard shot 80-75, including the team’s low round of the day, while both Voisard and Shulman tied for 22nd individually. Hope posted team rounds of 308 and 311.

The Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship will be jointly run by Augusta National Golf Club, the R&A and the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation. The tournament was launched in 2009 to develop amateur golf in the region and offers no prize money despite its major championship opportunities.
3
Te Arai Links plans an unusually intimate spectator experience: on the final afternoon, several hundred fans are expected to walk in the fairways behind players and among the rolling dunes, only metres from the amateur pursuing invitations to the 2027 Masters and Open Championship.
4
The LifeWise fundraiser includes first- through third-place prizes and a mid-round snack; teams cost either $500 for the Basic Birdie package or $600 for Extra Birdie, while sponsorships range from $150 hole sponsorships to a $2,000 presenting-sponsor package that includes two teams.
