Golf is considered an elite sport, and for good reason. Many of the country’s top golf clubs have their own exclusive members. Additionally, some of them host traditional annual tournaments for their loyal associates, which are also attended by a handful of tour players. The Seminole Pro-Member comes atop the list when it comes to big names on the tee sheet, but it’s mostly a closed book for onlookers. Yet, a trusted source has announced the winners, but it has failed to get the internet going.
Seminole Pro-member results exposed
The annual club event held at the Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Florida, was played yesterday. A host of tour pros participated in the event, with the field featuring as many as 94 of them.

But despite the star-studded field, the competition is barred from viewing. Thus, it becomes a difficult task to stay up to date with the event, but trusted journalist Dan Rapaport has announced the winners through his Twitter account.
Word is that Justin Thomas and Mike Walrath won the gross division of the Seminole Pro-Member with a nine-under 63. Brendon Todd and Jim Davis won the net.

While Justin Thomas hasn’t won on the PGA Tour this season, it looks like he has claimed his first trophy of the year. Reportedly, winning alongside him was the CEO of Yext, Mike Walrath. They reportedly shot a score of nine-under 63 to secure victory.
Despite the announcement, however, fans were quick to glance away from the news. Many showed little to no interest due to the nature of the event, while others questioned the level of fairness at the event. Here’s a selection of those tweets.

Who made it to the field at the Seminole Pro-member?
The field at the Seminole Golf Club featured 12 of the top 20 players in the world rankings, including former four-time major championship winner Rory McIlroy. Interestingly, the roster at the exhibition event was better than the one at the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic and LIV Golf’s inaugural Mayakoba event.

But the field wasn’t all about pro golfers, either. A swarm of serial investors and entrepreneurs also made it to the list. Yet, the biggest non-golf entity remained NFL legend Tom Brady, who teed up alongside five-time PGA Tour winner Tony Finau.
