On Monday, September 22nd, at the exclusive, top-rated English Turn Golf & Country Club, the National Kidney Foundation of Louisiana will host the 36th Annual New Orleans Applied Underwriters Invitational.

The general tournament format is a four-man scramble. Teams may be composed of players of any ability, and for those teams who choose not to compete for the National sponsor prizes and the invitation to compete at the National Finals, the teams will compete for prizes in a separate low net division.  

For teams wishing to compete for the invitation to the National Finals at Big Cedar Lodge on April 30th - May 3rd, 2026 and other prizes from our National Sponsors, the event format is a four-man scramble with the team members having a combined USGA handicap index of 43.0 or more with only one member having an index of 8.0 or less.  All player indexes will be verified before the tournament and on tournament day.

Over 460,000 people are living with kidney disease, over 16,000 on life-saving dialysis and over 1,800 waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant in Louisiana.
