The Golf Event That Changes Lives
Closing the gap in meeting the needs of the Folds of Honor Scholarship Program
The Folds of Honor has awarded nearly 73,000 life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America's fallen or disabled military service members and first responders since 2007. That is $340 million awarded in scholarships to those that have given so much.
THE NEED IS GREAT.
Nearly 7,700 deserving individuals did not go fully funded due to limited resources.
WE CAN CHANGE THAT.
Beginning in 2026, The Wingman Scramble will be taking flight for a select few clubs. Clubs will be invited to participate in the local inaugural event with the focus on growing nationally to include all PGA Professionals.
Honoring Their Sacrifice - Educating Their Legacy
Mission
Assembling patriots in appreciation for U.S. military service members and First Responders. On this we agree: Those who protect our freedom and our families deserve our unwavering support.
Format
Local Club Level - Three-person scramble using four tee shot minimum. Each team will compete in two divisions simultaneously comprising of low net and low gross.
Finals Level – Four person scramble (added local PGA Professional) using three tee shot minimum. Each team will compete in two divisions simultaneously comprising of low net and low gross. Final Level date is Monday, October 12, 2026, at American Dunes Golf Club in Grand Haven, Michigan.
Particpation Levels
The minimum teams required to send one team to the finals is ten. If ten to nineteen teams participate, the local professional will designate the divison that will represent the club at the Final Level before play.
If the local host club has participation of twenty or more teams, the club is eligible to send the winner of each division (one low net and one low gross team).
Each PGA represented invited facility is eligible to host a local event. At the local level, each facility can send two teams if they field at least twenty teams (one net and one gross). If less than twenty (must get to 10 teams), one team would qualify. PGA golf professional would join the qualifying team(s).
Final
American Dunes hosting 32 qualifying teams (top low net and low gross). The field is limited, so the first 32 teams that qualify and submit all requirements will represent the field.
Tees
Regular <60, Senior and Ladies using PGA/USGA %.
Handicap: Team handicaps are comprised of using USGA index (min rounds would apply). Based on USGA index each player would be assigned a handicap value using the Wingman Handicap Chart at the time of local event. Teams may only have one player with a negative value on the team. The team handicap must be at least +1 and max of +8. Individual index at the time of final event will be used and team handicap cut by 50% at Final Level.
