Simmons First National Hosts Inaugural Caddie Shootout to Celebrate Golfing Talent

Simmons First National Bank takes center stage in the golfing community with the announcement of the inaugural Caddie Shootout, presented by Saracen Casino Resort. Scheduled for October 21, 2025, at Pleasant Valley Country Club in Little Rock, Arkansas, this event is set to showcase the unique skills of PGA TOUR Champions caddies. The format includes two-man teams competing in an alternate-shot shootout format, culminating in a thrilling elimination process after each hole. This innovative approach not only highlights the caddies’ expertise on the course but also adds an exciting layer to the viewing experience for fans.

The Caddie Shootout promises a vibrant atmosphere, with tickets priced at $75, which grants access to hospitality areas at the final three holes, live music from the band Gone Country, and a selection of food and drinks from local Central Arkansas restaurants. Freddie Black, the Tournament Chair of the Simmons Bank Championship, emphasizes the event's aim to celebrate the personalities and skills of caddies while providing an engaging experience for attendees. The shootout is strategically positioned as a prelude to the Simmons Bank Championship, which runs from October 20-26, 2025, further enhancing the bank's commitment to community engagement and sporting excellence.

As part of a broader initiative to give back to the community, the Simmons Bank Championship is a pivotal event in the PGA TOUR Champions Charles Schwab Cup Playoff series, featuring a competitive field of 54 players and a purse of $2.3 million. The bank’s involvement in this championship reflects its dedication to charitable contributions, aiming to leave a positive impact on the local community. With limited ticket availability for the Caddie Shootout, fans are encouraged to secure their spots early through the tournament's official website, ensuring they do not miss out on this unique celebration of golfing talent.
