Tommy Moore Memorial Golf Championship
December 29 - December 30
The Kelly Gibson Foundation, in partnership with Allstate Sugar Bowl, operates the Tommy Moore Memorial Junior Golf Championship (TMMJGC), a two-day tournament held in New Orleans with the field comprised of top-rated boys and girls ages 13-18 from throughout the Gulf South Region and across the country. The ninth annual event will be held on December 29-30, 2020 at TPC of Louisiana.
Tee times will start at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, December 29 and 8 a.m. on Saturday, December 30. The post-tournament awards ceremony is expected to take place at approximately 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. Winners will be recognized in both the boys’ and girls’ divisions.
Tommy Moore was the most accomplished junior golfer to ever emerge from the New Orleans area. In 1980, Tommy was ranked No. 1 in the Golf Digest Junior World Rankings and went on to have a decorated collegiate career at Oklahoma State University where he was an All-American, National Champion, and Academic All-American.
After playing on the PGA TOUR for three seasons, Tommy Moore’s life was cut short at the young age of 35 due to a rare blood disease. In his memory, the Kelly Gibson Foundation partners with the Allstate Sugar Bowl to host this national event that recognizes the impact Tommy made on junior golf and the New Orleans community.
In conjunction with the TMMJGC, the Allstate Sugar Bowl also awards four scholarships worth a total of $15,000 each summer at the Kelly Gibson Foundations’ annual banquet.
