Golf is considered an elite sport, and for good reason. Many of the country’s top golf clubs have their own exclusive members. Additionally, some of them host traditional annual tournaments for their loyal associates, which are also attended by a handful of tour players. The Seminole Pro-Member comes atop the list when it comes to big names on the tee sheet, but it’s mostly a closed book for onlookers. Yet, a trusted source has announced the winners, but it has failed to get the internet going.

But despite the star-studded field, the competition is barred from viewing. Thus, it becomes a difficult task to stay up to date with the event, but trusted journalist Dan Rapaport has announced the winners through his Twitter account.

While Justin Thomas hasn’t won on the PGA Tour this season, it looks like he has claimed his first trophy of the year. Reportedly, winning alongside him was the CEO of Yext, Mike Walrath. They reportedly shot a score of nine-under 63 to secure victory.

Who made it to the field at the Seminole Pro-member?

The field at the Seminole Golf Club featured 12 of the top 20 players in the world rankings, including former four-time major championship winner Rory McIlroy. Interestingly, the roster at the exhibition event was better than the one at the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic and LIV Golf’s inaugural Mayakoba event.

But the field wasn’t all about pro golfers, either. A swarm of serial investors and entrepreneurs also made it to the list. Yet, the biggest non-golf entity remained NFL legend Tom Brady, who teed up alongside five-time PGA Tour winner Tony Finau.
