A Major. A Moment.
A Legacy.
Every shot carries the same promise: play hard, respect the game, and honor those who made it possible.
We don’t just compete for the leaderboard. We compete for the memory of what this tournament stands for — tradition, fellowship, and the quiet pursuit of excellence.
This is the Covert Cup. This is family. This is legacy.
