With sunny skies and rolling Bluegrass views as the backdrop, Angus enthusiasts teed off in Louisville, Kentucky, for a day of friendly competition at the annual Angus Foundation Golf Tournament, held at Quail Chase Golf Club. Held in conjunction with the 2026 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) in Louisville, the tournament welcomed 96 golfers and raised more than $47,000 to support the Foundation’s mission of advancing education, youth and research in the Angus breed. 

“As we celebrate 25 years of the Angus Foundation Golf Tournament, it’s incredible to see how this event continues to bring people together,” said Jimmy Stickley, Angus Foundation donor coordinator. “It is a great event about connection, tradition and making a lasting impact on the future of the Angus breed.”
