Benefiting the Corky Clark Foundation and the Sun Country Junior Golf Foundation
Sponsorship Proposal
Held at the prestigious Santa Ana Golf Club, the New Mexico Open dates back to 1954 when amateur Billy Moya of Albuquerque took home top honors in the inaugural event. Since then there have been two additional amateurs and a host of professionals that have had their name etched on the New Mexico Open Trophy aside names of PGA Tour Professionals Lee Trevino, Paul Stankowski, Brian Kortan, D. J. Brigman and Notah Begay III.
There have been many other players who have not won the New Mexico Open and have played on the PGA Tour including Tommy Armour III, Tom and Curt Byrum, and Kent Jones just to name a few.
The event features a full field of professional golfers coming together to compete at one of the premiere golf tournaments held annually in the Southwest.
The charitable goal of the New Mexico Open is to be a significant contributor to the Sun Country Junior Golf Foundation Scholarship Fund and additional local charities.
