PENSACOLA, FLA –– The opportunity to play in a golf tournament with one of the NFL’s greatest players awaits in the second annual Derrick Brooks Pensacola Golf Classic on Monday, August 8 at Pensacola Country Club.

Building off of the success from last year’s event, there are several additions to enhance the tournament.

Every group will have a chance to play the 18th hole with Brooks, along with having a group photo taken with him on the tee. Brooks is one of Pensacola’s most acclaimed athletes, having gone from youth football in the community to high school success at Booker T. Washington High, then becoming an All-American linebacker at Florida State, before his decorated NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that led to enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

He will again be bringing along several celebrity players to this event, assuring each group has a special guest.

The tournament will be a four-player, select-shot scramble with a shotgun start at 9 a.m.

This year’s tournament will include player contests with closest-to-the-pin, longest drive, a putting and chipping contest, a memorabilia auction and raffle, plus prizes for the top finishes.

All participating players will be treated to a breakfast at the course, along with a post-round lunch in the beautiful Pensacola Country Club clubhouse dining room. There will also be added snack/beverage carts throughout the course for players to enjoy.

This fun event supports Derrick Brooks Charities Inc. of Northwest Florida with proceeds benefitting Par Four Charities and First Tee-Gulf Coast. Brooks has mandated all proceeds remain in the Pensacola area.

It costs only $200 for individual players or $600 for a team foursome. The entry fee includes practice range balls, breakfast and lunch, along with a gift bag for each group. Sponsorships are welcome and much appreciated and start at just $200.

This event promises to be a memorable outing with one of the NFL’s biggest names. In November 2019, Brooks was named to the NFL 100 All-Time Team to honor the game’s greatest legends before the league’s 100th season.
