The 2025 Alabama - NW Florida Assistant PGA Professional Championship was held on Monday and Tuesday, August 11th and 12th, at Bent Brook Golf Course. Forty Alabama - NW Florida Section Assistants and Associates teed it up on the Brook and Graveyard courses with hopes of a win.
Monday got started with a shotgun for all players. Ben Wood started off strong with a bogey-free round and six birdies to land at the top of the leaderboard after the first round, firing a 6-under-par 66. Cam Page, Carter Goodwin, and Bryant Raynowska were all just two strokes behind, finishing the first round 4-under-par 68. Dominic Diaz rounded out the top five at 3-under-par 69.
The second round began with clear skies but saw a rain delay as afternoon summer storms moved into the area. Page jumped to the top of the leaderboard with an impressive 7-under-par 65 with eight birdies.
Page held on to his lead, finishing the tournament 11-under par to win. Goodwin finished 9-under par for second, and Christian Bosso finished 8-under par for third. Wood slipped to fourth with a 6-under par, and Raynowska finished 4-under par to wrap up the top five.
In addition to his win, Page also secured his spot in the 2025 Assistant PGA Professional Championship at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, on November 13th-16th.

We can’t wait to cheer them on in November!
