8/10/2023

Brophy College Preparatory is proud to host the Brophy Rodeo presented by PING, at Grayhawk Golf Club in beautiful Scottsdale on August 25-26. The Rodeo will host 38 boys' and girls’ teams from around the country representing nine different states. With PING as its presenting sponsor, the Rodeo will highlight more than 200 high school golfers competing over two days of 36-hole stroke play, 18 holes each day. The Rodeo will crown one boys' team champion and one girls' team champion, individual boys’ and girl’s champions, and award the top 10 individuals for both divisions.

"The Rodeo is a great way to promote high school golf on an elite golf course,” said Brophy Head Coach Jon Shores, the 2022 Arizona Golf Coach of the Year. “We are fortunate to have a relationship with Grayhawk Golf Club, host of the past several NCAA men's and women's national championships, affording these student-athletes an opportunity to play at a national championship venue. We want the Rodeo to offer students from across the country a memorable experience of playing high school golf, in hopes that they might continue playing at the next level."

The girls will be playing on the Raptor Course; the boys on the Talon Course. Tee times begin at 7 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Teams will play practice rounds on Wednesday, August 24, participate in a Skills Challenge, and have a pre-tournament dinner at 6 p.m.

The Rodeo was born from a previous invitational tournament hosted by Hamilton High School. The Antigua National High School Invitational was held from 2009-2020. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 National tournament as out-of-state teams were unable to travel, though the event was held as a smaller Arizona Invitational. In 2021, Brophy became the new host of the tournament and secured PING as an event sponsor. We are proud and excited to have Ping as our title sponsor.
