Upstate Towsley Pro-Am
Where CNY PGA Pros & Amateurs Team Up & Tee Off!
NEW DATE: Monday, August 31, 2026
Turning Stone Resort Casino, Verona, NY
CNY’s Largest & Longest Running Pro-Am
The Upstate Foundation’s 42nd Annual Upstate Towsley Pro-Am tees off on Monday, August 31, 2026 at the venue it calls home, the Turning Stone Resort Casino. Teams will enjoy a premier golf experience at either Shenendoah or Kaluhyat both offering pristine conditions, stunning scenery and amenities beyond compare.
Two Unique Golf Experiences
Towsley’s unique format is what makes it special and memorable. As is tradition, morning and afternoon flights will be offered at Shenendoah where sponsored foursomes will be paired with CNY PGA pros. Kaluhyat will offer an exclusive experience in the morning for teams of four or five golfers – your choice – followed by lunch and the Kaluhyat award ceremony.
“It is great to see the connection that our PGA pros have with the teams they are paired with. The comradery is apparent as they cheer for a great shot, share golf tips and enjoy a meal together. Whether you golf at Shenendoah or Kaluhyat, this tourment is the perfect combination of playing a game we all love and supporting a mission we believe in.” – Dylan Plis, Tournament Director, CNY PGA
Towsley Pro-Am Impact
For more than four decades, the Upstate Towsley Pro-Am has supported programs and projects at Upstate Medical University totaling more than $2 million. This year’s tournament will benefit the Upstate Foundation’s Friend in Deed fund, an important source of funding for vital programs and services, and unmet patient needs at Upstate University Hospital and Upstate Community Hospital. These are needs identified by those who care for the patients – doctors, nurses and other health care professionals – and their desire to make the patient experience as positive as possible. Because of your sponsorship, Friend in Deed will have a greater impact on Upstate programs and patients in ways that make a genuine difference.
Central New York’s longest running and largest Pro-Am tournament celebrates the Upstate Foundation’s 50th Anniversary, the CNY PGA’s Centennial Anniversary and pay’s tribute to the tournament’s namesake, Bill Towsley. Special thanks to our Presenting Sponsor and Tournament Partner who continue to serve as loyal leaders and dedicated partners:
