The BTS Club Championship
This year, our champion will be crowned at the Lowcountry’s finest. Winners at 2025 BTS qualifying events are invited to Chechessee Creek Club—a Coore & Crenshaw gem where mellow charm gives way to hidden bunkers and wild greens. Once the title is decided over the morning 18, we’ll play a second loop and finish the day on the rambling patio, raising a Chechessee Creek Tea to the newest name etched in BTS history.

About the Club Championship
Since the earliest days of golf, every club worth its salt has crowned a champion. For the Broken Tee Society—thousands strong and scattered across the globe—naming our finest requires something a bit more involved. This October, 108 members will descend upon the moss-draped fairways of Chechessee Creek Club to settle the matter once more. After last year’s championship was derailed by Texas tornadoes, the stakes feel even higher. In 2025, only two will emerge victorious—earning the right to be called the second-ever BTS Club Champions.
