The Iron Horse Challenge is Well Underway! Who’s in the Mix, and What is Coming Up

Launched in late 2021, the Iron Horse Challenge is off to the races.

“We have so many golfers that compete in nearly all of our events, we thought the Iron Horse Challenge would be a nice way to thank players for their loyalty and incentivize them to continue playing,” said Scott Tomasello, who runs the GTS tournament division. “We look forward to honoring our most loyal players with a customized Vessel golf bag.”

With two Iron Horse Challenge events in the books, the 2021 Short Par 4 Fall Classic & the 2022 Brittain Resorts Classic, let us take a look at who is still in the mix!
