"Ever since I started running tournaments, my dream was to come home and run a tournament at my favorite course of all-time, Wakonda Club. I've played all over the country at some of the best courses there are, but Wakonda will always be special to me. I'm very excited to be able to start this great new tournament with an extremely accomplished group of guys who love golf as much as I do. With our many years of golf experience, there is no doubt we are going to deliver a professional tournament atmosphere for the best players from all over the Midwest."
