A field of 23 current and former college football coaches is set to compete in the 17th annual Southern Company Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament on April 28 – 30 at Reynolds Lake Oconee outside Atlanta. The coaches will be competing for a share of the $300,000 charity purse.

The nation’s premier collegiate coach golf event will be played in two-man scramble format in an 18-hole tournament. The Stableford scoring system will be used to help balance handicaps and encourage aggressive play.

Proceeds from the event benefit charitable foundations selected by the coaches. To date, a total of $2.9 million has been specially raised for 66 different charities and foundations in the event’s 17-year history. Since its creation in 2007, the event has contributed a total of $9.3 million in scholarship and charity, helping make Peach Bowl, Inc. college football’s most charitable bowl organization. 

The current field of competitors for this year’s Peach Bowl Challenge is projected to include: 

“We have another impressive field this year as some of the sport’s top coaches tee it up for charity,” Peach Bowl, Inc. CEO and President Gary Stokan said. “Many of college football’s best rivalries extend to the green in this annual tradition, but it’s the charities who are the real winners as we’re set to raise another $300,000 this year.” 

This year’s field includes an impressive roster of college football greats that features three former Dodd Trophy winners, and a collective group of coaches who have won six FBS national championships, 42 conference championships and boast 2,229 collegiate career wins.

The 2024 field also features 20 coaches who have previously competed in the Southern Company Peach Bowl Challenge, while P.J. Fleck, Brent Key and Dan Lanning make their first-ever appearances in the event. 

Pairings for the 2024 Southern Company Peach Bowl Challenge will be announced prior to the tournament.
