The 35th Korean American Alumni Golf Tournament, one of the most celebrated sporting events in the community, will take place on June 5, 2025 (Thursday) at 12:30 p.m. at Canyon Crest Country Club in Riverside, California.
Organized by The Korea Daily, the event is designed to promote school pride, alumni friendship, and unity across the Korean American community. Since its first event in 1990, the tournament has been home to many memorable matchups.
Team Format and Divisions
The tournament will follow a shotgun start format. Each team consists of four players, and the best three scores will be combined to determine rankings. Divisions are split into two categories: general and senior, with the latter for players aged 65 and older.
Participation from women has been steadily increasing, making this Korean American alumni golf tournament a lively and inclusive celebration for players of all ages and backgrounds.
Trophies and Raffle Prizes
To emphasize community bonding, trophies will be awarded not only to the champions but to all top-ranking teams. In addition, all participants will be entered into a raffle regardless of performance.
Prizes include Korean Air round-trip tickets to Korea, golf equipment, home appliances, and other useful items. Organizers expect every participant to receive a prize.
