This week, the 2024 Industry Invitational season ended with our grand final taking place in Dallas, Texas.

Winners from our qualifying events, plus our event sponsors, were treated to three nights at the glamorous Ritz-Carlton Dallas Las Colinas. Across the trip, the teams took part in three rounds of golf.

The Cowboys Golf Club, the only NFL-themed golf club in the World, hosted our warm-up round before the teams took part in the 2024 final. Our finalists then completed two highly competitive rounds at Cottonwood Valley and the immaculate TPC Las Colinas to determine this year's champions.
