📢 HOINKE CLASSIC STANDINGS UPDATE

We know many of you have been asking about the 2026 Hoinke Classic standings, and we want to give everyone an update.

Following a recent change in Tournament Director leadership, we discovered that we had a significant backlog of scores that needed to be entered and processed. That work continues, and we are making progress every day.

At the same time, we are working with our web team on the newly redesigned Hoinke Classic website and the new layout for how standings will be posted. The combination of catching up the backlog and transitioning to the new website has taken longer than we would have liked.

Our new Tournament Director, Ted Burns, and our tournament staff are working hard to get everything caught up. Most importantly, we want to make sure the standings we publish are complete and accurate.

We know you've been waiting, and we apologize for the delay. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding while we get caught up.

The standings are being updated, and we will begin posting them as soon as they are ready.

Thank you for your continued support of the Hoinke Classic — America’s Tournament Since 1943!
