The Second Annual\u00a0PXG<\/a>\u00a0College Golf Showcase at\u00a0Scottsdale National<\/a>\u00a0debuted Wednesday evening on GOLF Channel. The eighteen-hole charity exhibition shootout between six elite college golfers and two celebrities provided fast-paced fun, great commentary, and excellent competition. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the end, Team Semper Fi landed at the top of the leaderboard, posting $530,000 in charity skins versus Team Mount Sinai who secured $470,000. The million-dollar pot benefitting the two military non-profits was awarded by The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team Semper Fi was led by team captain Rob Riggle<\/a> with Oklahoma State\u2019s Eugenio Chacarra, Washington\u2019s RJ Manke, and Duke\u2019s Gina Kim. While Team Mount Sinai was comprised of team captain Jerome Bettis<\/a>, Oklahoma\u2019s Logan McAllister, SMU\u2019s Noah Goodwin and Arkansas\u2019 Brooke Matthews.
 
The competition was split into two exciting formats\u2014a scramble front nine including the celebrities, switching to a true alternate shot amongst the college stars on the back nine to showcase their incredible talent. \u201cTo see these future stars at this stage, spend some time with them, and give them some words of wisdom, that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about,\u201d noted Jerome Bettis.
 
After the front nine, Team Mount Sinai claimed the early lead of $162,500 to $87,500 over Team Semper Fi thanks to a chip-in eagle by Logan McAllister and an eagle on the par 4 8th<\/sup> hole by Brooke Matthews. However, the change in format on the back nine re-ignited the competition with Team Semper Fi proving victorious in the alternate-shot format on holes 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. The competition came down to the final hole, with $150,000 on the line. Birdies by both teams split the pot as Team Semper Fi won $512,500 and Team Mount Sinai won $487,500\u2014a slim difference of just $25,000 from the $1,000,000 available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d say, for a second year, the PXG College Golf Showcase nailed it,\u201d PXG and Scottsdale National Golf Club Founder Bob Parsons<\/a> shared. \u201cWith a million dollars on the line, benefitting two top-notch charities, both teams played lights out to claim a piece of the pie. Each player, and captain, showed great character on the course and the neck-and-neck finish really illustrates just how much talent was in the field.\u201d
 
After the showcase\u2019s filming and production shoot in November, participants Gina Kim and Brooke Matthews competed in the final stage of LPGA Q-School. Both Gina and Brooke each earned full status on the LPGA Tour in 2022, further underscoring the Showcase\u2019s idea that the best college golfers should be household names and are ready to compete at a high level immediately as professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe opportunity to produce a new and fun approach to golf, while elevating college golf and including females this year is one we were grateful for.\u201d Said Drew Carr of Fidelity Sports Group and co-founder of the event, \u201cWe could not have accomplished it without our continued fantastic partnership with PXG, Scottsdale National and Mr. and Mrs. Parsons. We look forward to continuing this great event far into the future.\u201d
