A field of 100 golfers is expected for the ninth annual Mount Pleasant Charity Open August 6-8 at Patriots Point Links.

Two-time amateur Charleston City winner Jarrett Swan who now plays professionally is the defending champion after posting a 14-under-202 total at the 2020 Mount Pleasant Open.

Profits from this year’s tournament will be donated to the Bobby Jones Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation. The tournament has raised approximately $ 50,000 for charity over the past eight years.

The entry fee for the 54-hole tournament is $ 225 per player. The competition takes place in three divisions: a Championship division open to pros and amateurs; an Open division which will take off after 36 holes; and a senior division for players aged 55 and over, also soaring after 36 holes. There will be a total scholarship of over $ 5,000.

The registration deadline is August 3.
