Results & Recap
In the 8th year of this tournament we saw the largest field compete on Miniature Golf Day. Top pro spot got an automatic invite to the 2024-25 World Adventure Golf Tour final and a future Putt Tour event. Like the 2023 Matterhorn tournament, the top spot came down to a tiebreaker playoff. After 4 rounds, 2023 Matterhorn champion Dave Vayda was tied with another previous Matterhorn champion, Mark “Highlighter” Novicki. On Hole #1 of the tiebreaker, Dave took the standard single rebound layup for 2. Highlighter went for the gold on the risky 2 bounce off the bricks back towards the cup and landed the hole-in-one to win the tournament.
