CRMC Championship

Sunday, August 24 – Sunday, August 31, 2025 | Cragun’s Legacy Courses
Get ready for an unforgettable week at the 2025 CRMC Championship! This PGA TOUR Americas event brings 156 elite players from around the world to Cragun’s Legacy Courses every August. Supported by 250 dedicated community volunteers, the tournament’s impact extends far beyond the fairways.
The week kicks off the Sunday before tournament play begins on Thursday, offering a dynamic lineup of activities for all ages. Fans will witness rising stars in action, including past champion Jake Knapp, who won the 2022 CRMC Championship before quickly making his mark on the Korn Ferry Tour and earning his PGA TOUR card. In his rookie season, Knapp claimed victory at the Mexico Open at Vidanta, proving the CRMC Championship is a launchpad for future PGA TOUR success.
The competitive strength of PGA TOUR Americas continues to soar. In 2024, all 10 Korn Ferry Tour graduates ranked within the top 600 of the Official World Golf Ranking. The 2025 event promises to maintain this momentum, featuring top NCAA graduates from the PGA TOUR University program and other rising talents striving to achieve their PGA TOUR dreams.
Beyond world-class golf, the CRMC Championship is a powerful fundraiser for CRMC’s Foundation, directly supporting critical healthcare needs in our community and providing assistance to local residents facing medical challenges. Every dollar raised makes a meaningful difference.
Free admission is proudly provided by Thrivent.
