As a founder of the annual event and EVP of Development at The Trump Organization, Larry Glick, had the following to say:

The Trump Challenge was started 18 years ago with the intention of connecting our entire Trump Golf family, and has grown each year as our portfolio continues to expand. Seeing our members enjoying themselves and knowing we have the best team in the business to host such a remarkable event year after year is truly special – no one does it better than us!
