Tee Off Big: $85,000 Up for Grabs at Sports Challenge America's Florida Mini Masters

The richest one-day miniature golf tournament in the U.S. tees off Dec. 6 in Bonita Springs

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sports Challenge America is hosting the Florida Mini Masters Golf Tournament, the richest one-day miniature golf tournament in the United States, on Sunday, Dec. 6. With $85,000 in total prize money and a minimum individual payout of $2,000, this is one tournament where a little putt could lead to a big payday.

The road to the Florida Mini Masters begins Saturday, Nov. 21, with a qualifying tournament at Sports Challenge America, Bonita Springs' ultimate sports and family entertainment destination. Aspiring competitors will have their shot at securing one of 10 coveted spots in the championship tournament, joining professional golf standouts for a high-stakes showdown.

The Dec. 6 tournament will feature two eight-player teams, with serious star power leading the charge. The women's team will be co-captained by Canadian Golf Hall of Famer Gail Graham, a two-time LPGA Tour winner, and Melissa Linda "Mo" Martin, whose victory at the 2014 Women's British Open earned her a major championship title. Leading the men's team will be co-captains Mark Calcavecchia, former British Open winner and 13-time PGA Tour winner, alongside Fred Funk, an eight-time PGA Tour winner best known for his victory at the 2005 Players Championship.

Only 16 players will compete in the Florida Mini Masters, and 10 of those spots will be determined during the Nov. 21 qualifier. The five lowest-scoring eligible players in each of the men's and women's divisions will earn their way into the championship. For aspiring competitors, the qualifier is the only way to secure a spot in the tournament.

Adding to the excitement, comedy duo James Coker and Marshall Stratton will host the Florida Mini Masters, bringing plenty of energy and laughs to a competition that promises big names, big prizes and plenty of putting drama. Both tournaments are open to the public, giving spectators a front-row seat to the action as competitors navigate the twists, turns and challenges of miniature golf.
