Baird Wealth Management Tour Players Charity Golf Scramble To Benefit Paxton Park and Junior Golf featuring Russ Cochran and Kenny Perry.  This event is scheduled for Thursday, September 28, 2023.

2021 Baird Tour Players Charity Golf Scramble Entry Form

The Baird Wealth Management Tour Players Charity Event To Benefit Paxton Park and Junior Golf was started in 2002 and has featured PGA and Champions Tour Professionals Russ Cochran, Kenny Perry and John Riegger.  This event was started to provide funds to help make necessary capital improvements to Paxton Park and all proceeds go into a special account which is used for that purpose, and beginning in 2007, a portion of the net proceeds also benefit Junior Golf, including local high school golf teams. It is a fun, 4 person scramble event that takes on the atmosphere of a reunion more than a golf tournament.   THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD AGAIN IN 2023 AND THE DATE HAS BEEN SET.

We are very appreciative of Russ Cochran, Kenny Perry, Freddie Sanders and Mark Page for their efforts each year on behalf of this event. They have busy schedules and the fact they continue to come back and help this facility each year is huge and we deeply appreciate their help. 

Special thanks goes out to Baird Wealth Management  for their title sponsorship of this event.  We would also like to thank the following additional sponsors of this event:  Banks Market and Cash Saver Grocery, Jimmy Brown (UBS Financial Services),  Fairhurst Realty, Pizza Inn, Home Floor & Kitchens, Paducah Service Company, US Bank, Industrial Maintenance & Gears, Sherri Morril (State Farm), Dominos Pizza, Jeff Holland (Holland/Stivers).
