The individual entry fee is $200, and four different sponsorship levels are also available. The Georgia Southern Pro-Am is open to all interested individuals. Georgia Southern golf is holding an alumni event that weekend, and many former Eagles are expected to stay in town for Monday's Pro-Am.

"'The Crawford' is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and it goes a long way in supporting the needs of the program," said Georgia Southern coach Carter Collins. "This event is always a fun time as we enjoy hosting all the Eagle alumni and supporters. We are very grateful for all they do."
