GREENSBORO, Ga. – Army Football head coach Jeff Monken will participate in the 15th annual Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament from May 1-3 at Reynolds Lake Oconee outside Atlanta. A field of 22 current and former college football coaches will compete for a share of a $330,000 charity purse.
The nation's premier collegiate coach golf event will be played in Two Man Scramble format with Stableford scoring in an 18-hole tournament. This year's competition will also feature a Skills Challenge that includes Long Drive and Closest to the Pin competitions.
Proceeds from the event benefit charitable foundations selected by the coaches. Coach Monken's charity of choice is Mission 22.
Since its creation in 2007, the event has contributed a total of $8.73 million in scholarship and charity, helping make the Peach Bowl college football's most charitable bowl organization.
"This unique event consistently brings together some of college football's biggest names each year, all for charity," Peach Bowl, Inc. CEO and President Gary Stokan said. "These coaches are true competitors, both on and off of the football field, but it's all for a great cause as each of their charities will be the true winners at the end of the day."
This year's field includes an impressive roster of college football greats that features three former Dodd Trophy winners, and a collective group of coaches who have won two national championships, 33 FBS conference championships and boasts 2,423 career wins.
