34TH AMER ARI INTERCOLLEGIATE

February 6-8, 2025

Amer Ari

The Amer Ari Intercollegiate has brought some of the best golfers in the nation to the west side of the Big Island year-in and year-out since its inception in 1991. From Tiger Woods to Jordan Spieth to Matt Kuchar, the Amer Ari Intercollegiate has hosted a myriad of players through the years who have gone on to professional stardom. Originally titled "Taylor Made Big Island Intercollegiate Golf Tournament" and co-hosted by Hawai‘i Hilo and UH Manoa, the event was played at the Waikoloa Beach Resort with other venues at the Hapuna Golf Course at Mauna Kea Resort before moving to Mauna Lani in 2024. In 2010, it was renamed in honor of longtime supporter Mr Amer Ari (pictured above).

Last year's event was rated the No. 4 men's collegiate amateur event in all of 2024 by the World Amateur Golf Ranking
