GREENSBORO, Ga. -- A 14-team field of NCAA head coaches and celebrity alumni is set to compete in the ninth annual Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament, including Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen.
The nation's premier head coach and celebrity golf event will be held May 1-3 at the Reynolds Lake Oconee resort outside Atlanta. In the past nine years, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge has provided $5.3 million in scholarship and charitable contributions.
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge main event features pairings that include a university head coach and a former athlete from the same school competing in a scramble format against other university teams from around the country. The event will be broadcast on ESPNU in August and December. Specific dates will be announced this summer.
The 14 university teams will be vying for the $100,000 first-place prize, with each team receiving a portion of the $540,000 purse. Charity payouts will be split equally between an endowed scholarship at each university and a charity of the coach's choice.
