Golf to Host Brophy Rodeo presented by PING August 22-24 at Grayhawk GC

8/9/2024

Brophy College Preparatory is proud to host the Brophy Rodeo, presented by PING, at Grayhawk Golf Club in beautiful Scottsdale on August 22-24. The Rodeo will host 37 boys' and girls’ teams from around the country, representing eight states.

With PING as its presenting sponsor, the Rodeo will highlight over 200 high school golfers competing over two days of 36-hole stroke play, 18 holes daily. 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. “The relationship with Grayhawk Golf Club, which has hosted several NCAA men's and women's national championships, allows these student-athletes 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, hoping they might continue playing at the next level."

The boys will play on the Raptor Course, while the girls will play on the Talon Course. Tee times begin at 7 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Teams will play practice rounds on Thursday, August 22, participate in a Skills Challenge, and have a pre-tournament dinner at 6 p.m.

The boy’s field includes four teams from the Top 20 in the 2023-24 National High School Golf Association rankings including the host including 2021-23 Rodeo Team champion and Arizona state runner-up Brophy; Archbishop McCarthy High (SW Ranches, Fla.); Aubrey Rogers High School (Naples, Fla.); Barron Collier High School (Naples, Fla.); Belen Jesuit Prep (Miami, Fla.); Catalina Foothills High School (Tucson, Ariz.); Christopher Columbus High School (Miami, Fla.); Corner Canyon High School (Draper, Utah); Arizona Division I state champion Hamilton High School (Chandler, Ariz.); Herriman High School (Herriman, Utah); Lockport Township High School (Lockport, Ill.); Lone Peak High School (Highland, Utah); Notre Dame Prep (Scottsdale, Ariz.); Orem High School (Orem, Utah); Providence Catholic High School (Plainfield Ill.); Punahou School (Honolulu, Haw.); Regis Jesuit (Aurora, Colo.); Strake Jesuit (Houston, Texas); Trinity Christian Academy (Addison, Texas, 2022 Brophy Rodeo Runner-up); Vero Beach High School (Vero Beach, Fla.); Windermere High School (Windermere, Fla.).

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.
