Par Excellence Circle

What began as the Red Jacket Club tradition at select events is now a national honor. The Par Excellence Circle recognizes our most dedicated champions from across all tournaments. 

These honorees have played a pivotal role in strengthening the American Cancer Society Golf Classic and advancing our mission. Their sustained leadership, generosity, and partnership have helped expand access to care, fuel groundbreaking research, and support patients and families across the country.

We proudly recognize their lasting contributions and celebrate the impact they continue to make in the fight against cancer.
