Tournament Recaps

Events can unfold quickly when you’re young, but even Sam Weatherhead had to admit that his last few weeks have been a whirlwind. On Tuesday, the 31-year-old professional won the much-coveted Wisconsin PGA Professional Championship – just about two weeks after earning his Class A PGA of America membership.

David Roesch and Derek Stendahl had an enjoyable little two-man game going Wednesday afternoon at Wausau Country Club, sharing a cart while they took turns splitting fairways and striking crisp approach shots, despite a howling wind.

Monday brought 100 Wisconsin PGA members and associates together at Horseshoe Bay Golf Club for the Reyes Retail Pro-Assistant, supported by Bushnell Golf, StrackaLine and the PGA Tour.

The Wisconsin State Open had been played 105 times since 1919 and had featured virtually every luminary who ever swung a club in our state, from Manuel de la Torre to Andy North to Steve Stricker.

The two-event Wisconsin PGA Pro-Ladies series would come to a close on Monday. As the final event would venture to Madison and Blackhawk CC. After a five-player event in the spring at The Legend at Bristlecone, the summer version would feature four-player teams. 

Davis Jensen may have found a new favorite golf course. With apologies to the membership at North Shore CC in Mequon, where he works, and a lot of fine people at his favorite tracks back home in New York State, Jensen admits he’s getting quite fond of Hidden Glen GC, where on Tuesday he won his second straight Vortex® Golf Wisconsin PGA Match Play Championship.

A picturesque summer day with ideal playing conditions welcomed a sold-out field of 29 teams to Blackwolf Run’s Meadow Valleys Course on Monday for the Wisconsin PGA’s Suter Ward Group Meadow Valleys Pro-Am.

Early on the back nine Tuesday afternoon it appeared as though Jim Schuman would be relegated to runner-up honors at best in the annual Wisconsin Senior PGA Professional Championship at The Bull in Sheboygan Falls.

Max Hosking admits that prior to this season his golf game – his golf life, really – had reached a crossroads of sorts, as the 36-year-old professional had not played serous tournament golf for a few seasons. But he refocused and rededicated himself to the sport he loves going into 2026, and on Monday he claimed another state championship event.

The Wisconsin PGA welcomed 29 teams to Maple Bluff Country Club on Monday, July 13, for the Wilson Golf Pro-Am, one of the featured stops on the Wisconsin PGA Four-Player Pro-Am Series.

The event brought together WPGA professionals and amateur partners for a day of competitive golf and camaraderie on the historic Maple Bluff layout. Teams competed in a one gross and one net better ball format, rewarding both exceptional individual play and consistent team performance throughout the round.
