2025 National Cancer Society Scramble: A Resounding Success for a Worthy Cause

On Sunday, May 18, 2025, the Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club proudly hosted the 10th Annual Teeing ‘fore’ a Cure, also known as the National Cancer Society Scramble. This year’s event saw 21 teams of four players compete in a lively scramble format, all in support of a vital cause.

For the past 10 years, this tournament has been a cornerstone of the RTCGC Golf Calendar, traditionally held in May. Its enduring success in fundraising for the National Cancer Society is a testament to the incredible support from golfers and the community.

The Teeing ‘fore’ a Cure event is designed to be a fun, family-oriented gathering, catering to golfers of all skill levels. The primary goal is to foster enjoyment on the course while actively supporting the National Cancer Society. The funds raised from this event will significantly contribute to fulfilling the NCS’s objectives and mandate, which includes crucial patient support and education on both cancer mitigation and treatment options.
