OAKMONT, Pa. — A $100,000 pro-am golf tournament featuring PGA tour players and members of the Senior PGA tour is scheduled for next June at the Oakmont Country Club.
The first prize in the June 29-30 tournament will be $25,000, with the minimum pro prize $1,000, according to tournament founder Frank B. Fuhrer Jr., an insurance company and beer distributor executive.
“I want it to be a pretty elite event,” Fuhrer said.
The tournament, which will benefit Pittsburgh’s Family House, was first held earlier this summer and raised $60,000. This year’s purse was $43,000.
Family House is an inexpensive lodging facility for the families of patients at the University Health Center in Pittsburgh’s Oakland section.
