Event Overview

The biggest oilfield golf tournament of the year returns on April 6 at The Clubs of Kingwood. Join the Society of Petroleum Engineers Gulf Coast Section (SPE-GCS) Golf Committee for a full day of golf, networking, and fun while supporting the SPE Gulf Coast Scholarship Fund.

This annual tournament brings together energy industry professionals, partners, and friends for one of the most anticipated events of the year. Participants can enjoy great golf, food, drinks, cigars, prizes, and a lively happy hour — all while supporting a meaningful cause.

Teams and sponsors play a critical role in helping SPE-GCS continue its mission of supporting the next generation of petroleum engineers. Companies are encouraged to bring customers, colleagues, and industry partners to enjoy a memorable day on the course.

Petroleum Engineering Scholarship Fundraiser

The SPE Gulf Coast Scholarship Fund helps attract talented students to the energy industry by providing scholarships to promising high school graduates pursuing petroleum engineering and related energy fields.

Each year, the program awards 8–10 new scholarships valued at $4,000 per year for four years — totaling $16,000 per student. These scholarships help support the education of future industry leaders and ensure the continued growth and innovation of the energy sector.

All proceeds from the tournament directly benefit students in the Gulf Coast region as they begin their college journey and pursue careers in the oil and gas industry.
