South Seas Tarpon Tournament returns Memorial Day weekend 2026

SANIBEL ISLAND, Fla. - EntSun -- South Seas Resort is teeing up an expanded weekend of sport and purpose with the return of its third annual South Seas Tarpon Tournament on May 22, followed by the inaugural South Seas Golf Scramble on May 23. Sponsorship opportunities and registration for anglers and golfers are now available at SouthSeas.com/Tarpon-Tournament (https://www.southseas.com/tarpon-tournament/).

Held during Memorial Day weekend, the two-day event honors the spirit of remembrance and service by supporting Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization that provides life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America's fallen or disabled military members and first responders.

New this year, South Seas is enhancing the Memorial Day weekend festivities with The South Seas Golf Scramble at The Clutch, its Beau Welling-designed golf course, on May 23. The addition of the Golf Scramble offers sponsors and participants another opportunity to support Folds of Honor while enjoying one of Southwest Florida's premier golf experiences.

A limited number of sponsorships are available for both events and include a range of benefits such as tournament entries, tickets to the awards dinner and ceremony, marketing recognition across digital and print platforms, tournament swag and, for select levels, participation in the Golf Scramble. The event includes a special ceremony honoring fallen veterans and includes a presentation by the Lee County Honor Guard and paratroopers. Additionally, foursome teams of anglers and golfers can participate.

Established in 2024, the South Seas Tarpon Tournament was created to deliver a first-class fishing experience while raising critical funds and awareness for Folds of Honor. For every registration fee of $1,500, $1,000 was awarded to the tournament winners and $500 contributed to the Folds of Honor for each boat.

"Last year's tournament was a huge success with 41 tarpons caught by 36 participating boats," said Shawn Farrell, general manager at South Seas. "More than $250,000 was raised for scholarships through Folds of Honor providing the equivalent of 45 educational scholarships for families of fallen and disabled service members in Lee County. We are hopeful that with the addition of the South Seas Scramble, this year's event will raise even more money for scholarships for deserving families."
