The Experience

“More than a golf tournament. A tradition connecting the DeGroote MBA community for years to come.”

From the first tee to the final toast, every moment is designed to bring together the people who make the DeGroote MBA program exceptional.

What's included

Every registration, fully loaded.

One price covers the entire day. Golf, dinner, and everything in between.

18 Holes with Cart

A full round on a championship-calibre ClubLink course. Shotgun start at 1:30 PM.

Post-Round Dinner

Seated dinner in the clubhouse. Awards, raffles, and prizes are included with every golf registration. Dinner-only tickets will be offered to the broader DeGroote MBA community.

Networking & Community

Meaningful connections with DeGroote alumni spanning decades, current MBA students, and faculty in a setting built for conversation.

Prizes & Awards

Tournament awards, raffle draws, and on-course contests including longest drive and closest to the pin.

Custom Tournament Scorecards

Every golfer receives a custom-printed tournament scorecard. A keepsake from the day.

Why we built this

In the committee's own words.

The tournament exists because the people behind it believe in what it can become.

I have spent nearly two years inside the DeGroote MBA community, and the people here are what make the program exceptional. The strongest professional relationships are built outside the classroom. This tournament is designed to make that happen, across a round of golf, a shared dinner, and an afternoon the community can return to every year.

The DeGroote alumni network is one of the most underutilized assets in the program. Graduates sit across every major firm and industry in Canada, and most current students never get the chance to connect with them in a meaningful setting. This tournament creates that bridge. Four hours on the course with an alum will open more doors than a year of cold outreach.

Who attends

Every segment of the DeGroote MBA community.

Three groups, one field. The tournament is built to connect alumni, students, and faculty in a setting that makes the relationships stick.

Alumni

Return to the community that shaped your career. Whether your convocation was last June or two decades ago, this is your seat at the table.

Current Students

Meet the alumni who have already walked your path. The strongest professional relationships are built outside the classroom. This tournament is designed to make that happen.

Faculty

Reconnect with the graduates you helped prepare. Eighteen holes is a rare opportunity to engage with the network beyond the academic setting.
