Srixon Prestige Tour Champions - May

May began with the Rio Grande Showcase at the historic McAllen Country Club on May 3-4. While the temperatures were starting to warm up, Adam Segura of Weslaco, TX and Natalie Nobles of Navasota, TX beat the heat and earned the right to call themselves Champions down in The Valley. Just two weeks later, the Srixon Prestige Tour team administered the Spring Fling at Pearland Golf Club. Freeman Woldert of Houston, TX and Elle Astete of Katy, TX found themselves atop the leaderboard after Round 2 came to a close. This was both Woldert and Astete’s first Prestige Tour victory in 2025. Putting a bow on what May had to offer, Abigail Archunde of Fischer, TX and Tyler Neidel of Lakeway, TX found themselves hoisting the hardware after a wonderful two days of the Fore! Challenge at Delaware Springs Golf Course in Burnet, TX!
