Nautique is committed to matching up to $1,000 of the amount collected. Participants of the Kikkor Cup golf event are sponsors and athletes of the tournament.

“Nautique is thrilled to offer a scholarship to a Junior Masters athlete; these athletes are the future of our sport and anything we can do to help them succeed is consistent with our Nautique Cares philosophy,” stated Nautique’s President/CEO Bill Yeargin.
