Title Sponsor

The Memorial Tournament started in 2007 as the “Curt Teal Memorial Tournament” after one of our Club Champions who had died the year before. The tournament would honor Curt, as well as all the Club’s departed members. The choice of the Foundation of Laguna Woods Village to be the beneficiary of the event was at Curt's widow's request since it had been his favorite charity. It was for the event to use his name for one year, thereafter to be the Memorial Tournament.

The event was held for four years (2007-2010) and then, after a two-year hiatus, the Memorial Tournament returned to the annual rotation of special events and is now sponsored by the Laguna Woods Men's Golf Club . It has become the Club’s premier annual event and its major fundraiser. It is held in May and is open to the entire community as well as friends and relatives. This annual tournament is testimony that the golfing community can be counted on to help our Village neighbors, and we believe the amount of our annual donations to the Foundation reflects that commitment.
