Description

Freeborn is proud to sponsor this year’s Western Amateur Championship, taking place from July 30 – August 4, at Sunset Ridge Country Club in Northfield, Illinois. 

Founded in 1899, the Western Amateur is the world’s third oldest amateur championship behind the British Amateur (1885) and the U.S. Amateur (1895), and regularly attracts the top amateur players from across the country and around the world. Past champions include Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. Our support benefits the Evans Scholars Foundation, a nonprofit established by the Western Golf Association that has awarded full college tuition and housing scholarships to more than 11,000 caddies since 1930.
