The Patriot All-America Invitational is a premier amateur golf event that brings together the top collegiate and amateur players from across the country, including PING All-Americans from NCAA Divisions I, II, and III, NAIA, NJCAA, and AJGA, as well as international players and special invitees. Held annually from December 28-31 at The Wigwam Golf Resort in Litchfield Park, this unique 54-hole tournament offers a bowl-game-like experience featuring 156 of the nation’s best amateur golfers.
What sets this event apart is its dedication to honoring military heroes, with each player carrying a commemorative PING golf bag bearing the name of a fallen or wounded service member or first responder. The Patriot Invitational is not just a showcase of golf talent, but a meaningful tribute to those who have served. We invite you to come out and witness this incredible event, where top-tier golf and a powerful cause come together to create an unforgettable experience.
Spotlight Charity
The Patriot All-America Invitational is deeply committed to honoring our military or first responder heroes, not just in spirit but through a profound partnership with the Folds of Honor Foundation. At the heart of this collaboration is a powerful symbol: at the opening ceremony, each golfer is entrusted with a commemorative PING golf bag, each bearing the name, rank, and branch of a fallen or wounded service member or first responder. This bag is not just equipment; it is a tribute carried by each player throughout the tournament, serving as a constant reminder of the sacrifice made by these heroes. As the event concludes, these bags are sent back to the players' schools and auctioned off. The funds raised from these auctions are directed to the Folds of Honor, which provides educational scholarships to the children and spouses of our fallen and wounded service members or first responder. This partnership exemplifies a commitment to remembrance through action, ensuring that the legacy of these heroes continues to inspire and support their families.
