Golf Championship at Potomac's Avenel Farm to Benefit Wounded Warriors

The Mid-Atlantic Championship—a premier stop on the Web.com Tour—takes place at the TPC Potomac golf course at Avenel Farm May 27 through June 2.

The Web.com Tour is the official path to the Professional Golfers' Association Tour, and identifies players "ready to compete and win on golf's greatest stage," according to a news statement on TPC's website.

"[Three] out of four PGA TOUR players have Web.com Tour roots, and Web.com Tour alumni have amassed more than 350 PGA TOUR titles, including 17 major championships, and the last 3 FedEx Cup Titles," the statement reported.

At the Mid-Atlantic Championship, 156 players will compete for prizes totaling $600,000. The Web.com Tour offers prizes totaling $19 million.

The Web.com Tour's primary goals are to provide economic impact for the local community and benefit charities. So far, the PGA Tour family of tournaments has donated more than $1.8 billion to charity, according to the statement.

The Mid-Atlantic Championship has partnered with the Salute Military Golf Association (SMGA), a nonprofit organization headquartered in Montgomery County and which assists wounded warriors in the community.

"In consultation with the medical health professionals at Walter-Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Medical Center, SMGA founders Jim Estes and Jamie Winslow developed and articulated a belief that, for [wounded warriors'] longer-term treatment to achieve a maximum rehabilitative value, it must be holistic and far-reaching in scope in order to adequately address the profound needs for service members and their families in search of that new sense of normalcy," the statement added.
