2026 Matthew Murphy Memorial Open
About the event
A CELEBRATION OF COMMUNITY
On April 25th, 2026, the Fourth Annual Matthew Murphy Memorial Open will be held to celebrate the life Matthew Murphy. Eight years after his passing, family, friends, and members of the community are invited to play golf at Bay Hills, the course Matthew called his own backyard. He brought an entire community together and taught us all to hold each other, love hard, and celebrate life. And, in turn, this community lifted his family and friends to find comfort and joy in even the darkest days. Together we will honor him and celebrate the love in which we all share.
EVENT DETAILS
This Best-Ball Scramble format golf tournament will be on April 25th with a 11am Shotgun Start. All net proceeds will benefit the Matthew Murphy Foundation. You can register as a foursome or single player, and all golfers will receive a complimentary comfort bag at check-in, drinks/snacks at the start, open bar, soft drinks, and a barbecue buffet afterward.
REMEMBERING MATTHEW
Matthew was born in Annapolis, Maryland on August 17, 2005. He loved video games, going to the beach, visiting West Virginia, and spending time with both of his extended families. He lived life fully and left an unimaginable void when he passed. But in his short time on this earth, he made an impact few others have, or will, in their lifetimes.
THE MATTHEW MURPHY FOUNDATION
To honor Matthew's legacy, we have created the Matthew Murphy Foundation, a recognized 501C3. The mission of the foundation is to support victim-families and advocates by overcoming obstacles and helping to rebuild their lives. Through fundraising and community support, we provide resources and opportunities to assist those in need to find pathways forward. We are dedicated to ensuring every family has the chance to thrive following tragedy by embodying the spirit of hope, resilience, and empowerment.
SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES
We have numerous business and personal sponsorship opportunities available for all budget sizes. All net proceeds from your sponsorship will go directly to the Matthew Murphy Foundation.
