20th Annual Big Break Golf Classic

Presented by McKenzie Buick-GMC

The milestone 20th Annual Big Break Golf Classic on September 16, 2026 was a tremendous success—bringing together golf enthusiasts, business leaders, and community supporters for a historic day at Stonebrook Golf Club. With perfect weather, patriotic players, and an incredible spirit of generosity, this year’s tournament was one for the books!

Thanks to our participants, sponsors, and donors, the tournament once again fulfilled its mission of making a meaningful impact. Proceeds of over $54,000 will go towards the PSC Fund for Excellence, directly supporting vital programs at Pensacola State College and providing resources and opportunities for both students and faculty. Your involvement truly makes a difference, on and off the course.

As we close the chapter on this year’s Stars, Stripes, & Scramble event and reflect on 20 incredible years of support for PSC, we’re looking ahead with excitement to the 21st Annual Big Break Golf Classic, coming in May of 2027! We hope to continue to grow and be bigger, better, and more impactful for our beloved College and students.

Stay tuned for more details—and thank you again for being part of this enduring tradition!
