INDIANA — The oldest WPGA team competition will be contested Monday with the 102nd Father & Son and 14th Parent & Child Tournaments set for Indiana Country Club.
The championship features both a gross and net competition and is open to amateur and professional golfers. Fathers and parents are permitted to include multiple children in their group.
The event is 18 holes of Chapman format team stroke play for the gross division. The Net Division will also be conducted as a Chapman Format as part of the Parent & Child Net Tournament (40% of the higher handicap added to 60% of the lower handicap).
Play will begin Monday in a shotgun format, with teams commencing play at noon.
Since 1921, the Father & Son Championship has offered players who are members of WPGA Member Clubs a fun, yet competitive day of golf alongside family and on a top Western Pennsylvania golf course.
With a special, family-oriented history, the Father & Son has seen a number of sons win the competition, only to then return as fathers and win with their own child years later.
Jack C. Benson won in 1938 with his father, H.C., and then won with his sons Jack in 1958 and George in 1963. J.W. Oliver won three times with his father, A.K., and then won five times with his son O.M. R.A. Graciano won with his father, D.F., in 1974 & 75 and then with his son Perry in 1978. John Jones won with his father Gary in 1992 and then with his son Derek in 2009.
The Parent & Child Net division was added to the event in 2003. It was not contested from 2009-2017, but returned in 2018 and has been held every year since, with the exception of 2020. It has been won three times by the duo of Larry and Samantha Milosh.
In 2025, the team of Arnold and Arnold Cutrell won the Father & Son at Diamond Run Golf Club. Chris and Patrick Shipley claimed the Parent & Child Tournament.
This will be the first time that Indiana Country Club has hosted the Father & Son and Parent & Child Tournaments in its recorded site history, which dates back to 1979.
