Big Break Golf Classic 2026

For 20 years, the Pensacola State College Foundation Big Break Golf Classic has brought the Northwest Florida community together for a great day on the course that benefits PSC students, programs, and facilities through the College’s greatest need fund: the Fund for Excellence. This year’s milestone event, the “Stars, Stripes, & Scramble” presented by McKenzie Buick-GMC, was one for the books as 136 golfers took to the course at Stonebrook to swing, putt, and “chip” in to create opportunities for Pensacola State students.

Golfers, sponsors, volunteers and community partners helped make this year’s event a success—raising over $54,000 for PSC. The Big Break Golf Classic, and its two decades of impact, would not be possible without our community’s dedication, generosity, and investment in the power of education.

We are Grateful to Our 2026 Presenting Sponsors!
