The Make-A-Wish East Tennessee Golf Classic, presented by Carson Wealth, returns to the beautiful Blackthorn Club at The Ridges on Monday, August 17, 2026, for a day of golf, great food, and an even greater cause. The day begins with check-in at 8:00 AM, followed by breakfast at 8:30 AM before teams head out for a 9:30 AM shotgun start on one of the region’s premier courses. Players will enjoy breakfast, lunch, and drinks on the course, along with exciting extras throughout the day including a silent auction and a whiskey pull. Every swing helps bring hope and joy to children in East Tennessee waiting for their wishes to be granted.
