First-Ever Kurt Caselli Golf Classic (2026)
9-hole course,
18-hole tournament
On August 19, 2026, The Kurt Caselli Foundation held its first-ever Golf Classic at Bear Mountain Golf Course in Big Bear Lake, California. Sixty golfers —riders, racers, families and industry partners— filled every spot on the course, played a four-person scramble, and then traded their clubs for gear: every registered golfer got to ride the Big Bear MX Grand Prix track that afternoon, a full day before practice opened to the public.
Together, the day raised more than $14,000 for the Foundation's mission of protecting and supporting the lives of off-road riders and racers funding rider safety initiatives, education, and scholarships.

Thank You to Our Sponsors
This event worked because our partners said yes to a first-year tournament before there was a track record to point to. Nine sponsors took a hole, six of them showed up and activated on course, and MX Trophies made sure the hardware was done right.
