We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our incredible sponsors who made this event a resounding success. TAIL Activewear, as our title sponsor, enriched the experience for everyone, with the pink and blue jackets gifted to each player and caddie becoming a huge hit. A special thanks to XXIO and Cleveland Golf for their invaluable support of the Short Game Clinic and their generous gifting of a wedge and golf balls to each player. Unomojo played a vital role in making the Sunday Awards Banquet unforgettable, while Daphne’s Headcovers brought charm to the Saturday Social with their delightful hedgehog and scorpion headcovers.
We are equally grateful to Van's Worldwide Golf Shops for sponsoring the Scoring and Awards, and to OOFOS for providing sandals that offered comfort to all. Happy Golf’s "I GOT THIS" ball markers added a personal touch, and Grant Thornton's ARCCOS 360 Tracking System elevated the game. Swire Coca Cola kept us refreshed as our Beverage Partner, and the I GOT THIS Foundation provided pin flags, Challenge Coins, hats, and Quick Golf Rules Cards for everyone’s golf bags.
Our event was further supported by our dedicated hole sponsors: AZ Skin Cancer Foundation, Carlisle Arizona Women’s Golf Classic, LPGA Ford Championship presented by Wild Horse Pass, the Rubin Family, Russo’s Italian Kitchen, Shadetree Golf & Pickleball, The Thunderbirds, U.S. Adaptive Golf Alliance, and Walrus and Wine. Their contributions were invaluable toward creating an inclusive and empowering environment.
We recognize and appreciate the staff at Four Points by Sheraton Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport for their attentive care for our athletes and families. Additionally, we’re grateful for Toka Sticks Golf Club GM Brian Herring and his entire staff, whose hospitality made us feel that Toka Sticks was our home course.
Our Short Game Clinic wouldn’t have been possible without our coaches, Justin Davis, Justin Johnson, Matt Acuff, and Peggy Gustafson. And we’re equally grateful for the contributions of Rob Walden, our Starter and Scorer, and Cori Matheson of Girls Golf of Phoenix, who’s help with the tournament was invaluable.
We also want to recognize and thank Everett Priddy from the Arizona Golf Association for his leadership as our rules official, and to Lee Maiden and Steve Patterson from the PGA Southwest Section for their on-course guidance. We also appreciate the volunteers who dedicated their time and energy, which ensured a seamless and successful event.
Photos of this event from Groove Heads Entertainment and RSVP Photography will be available for download free of charge, with an option to purchase prints. Keep an eye out for a future email with more information.
Kudos to the players and caddies who participated in the I GOT THIS Discovery Golf Clinic video shoot sponsored by Unomojo. Our partner PAL Experiences will use footage from Friday to create a 3-minute video to introduce families to golf and help them understand what to expect at our I GOT THIS Discovery Golf Clinic. This video will be shared around the country. You are all superstars!
Mark your calendars for the 2026 I GOT THIS Championship, returning to Toka Sticks Golf Club, February 13 - 15, 2026. We will send out a registration email as soon as details are available. With a limited field, we encourage you to register early.
To help us make this YOUR event, we invite you to complete a short survey. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to create an inclusive and empowering experience for all participants.
Thank you once again for your participation and enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing you in 2026!
