Beamer and Spurrier Paired for 2022 Peach Bowl Challenge

The Peach Bowl Challenge has announced the official pairings for its 15th annual charity golf tournament. The 2022 tournament has current South Carolina head football coach Shane Beamer paired with the school’s all-time winningest head football coach, Steve Spurrier. The 11-team field of current and former college football coaches will compete for a share of the $330,000 charity purse May 3 at Reynolds Lake Oconee outside Atlanta.

Pairings were determined by balancing handicaps between teams. The nation’s premier collegiate coach golf event will be played in Two Man Scramble format with Stableford scoring in an 18-hole tournament. This year’s event will also feature a skills challenge that includes Long Drive and Closest to the Pin competitions within the round.

Proceeds from the event benefit charitable foundations selected by the coaches. The first-place duo will split $60,000 between the two winning coaches’ charities, while the remainder of the purse will be divided based on the finish of the other teams.

Since its creation in 2007, the event has contributed a total of $8.7 million in scholarship and charity, helping make the Peach Bowl college football’s most charitable bowl organization.

Official pairings for this year’s Peach Bowl Challenge will include:
