The 63rd Annual Tournament of Champions will tee up this weekend at the Atlantic Golf and Country Club. We’ll have coverage throughout the weekend on KJAN.

Two of the division winners from last year’s tournament will be back to try to defend their titles. Dr. Matt Weresh won the Championship Division in 2020 with a two-shot victory. He finished with a weekend total +1, 208, grabbing his third title at the T of C. He currently is not scheduled to play. Zach Christianson was runner-up with a 210 total in 2020 and he’ll be back in the field.

Ron Peterson will be back to defend his Senior Division title. The Senior Division is open to players 50 years of age and up. Peterson had won the Championship Division multiple times and last year was his first playing in the Senior portion of the tournament. He ran away with a 7-shot victory, finishing with a +8, 215 weekend total. Del Miller and Darron Baker both finished at +15 to take 2nd and 3rd place respectively; they will both be back in the field as well.

The Super Senior Division, which is available to players 65+, was won in 2020 by Rick Thompson. He shot terrific +1, 208 total to win the division by ten shots. He also is back in the field for this year’s event.
