Antigua has been the title sponsor of the event since its inception, and it’s proved to be a worthwhile cause for the company. “Antigua is proud to support all aspects of golf, especially junior and high school golf,” says Ron McPherson, president and CEO of the Antigua Group. “We are also very proud that The Thunderbirds have joined us this year in presenting such a fine event, and would also like to thank the various affiliated organizations, both locally and nationally, who have assisted us in developing and promoting the tournament.”
