Sponsorship OpportunitiesOfficial Brochure
It is with great pleasure that the Ouimet Fund is honoring World Golf Hall of Famer and 7-time major champion Karrie Webb with the 2026 Francis Ouimet Award for Lifelong Contributions to Golf. The Ouimet Banquet takes place at the Omni Boston Seaport on Monday, April 27, 2026!
Guests will enjoy a fireside chat with Webb moderated by Ian Baker-Finch, a major champion and one of golf’s most respected voices. The two Australian golfers and longtime friends will offer candid stories, shared memories, and unique perspectives from two of the game’s most accomplished figures.
This annual fundraising event is a critical factor in our ability to award need-based Ouimet Scholarships, which for the 2025-26 school year is $3.5 Million to 535 Ouimet Scholars, both records for The Fund.
We are thrilled to honor one of golf’s most influential players and hear from our highly anticipated Student Speaker about the scholarship’s impact. Following a sold out event last year, join the golf community as we kick off the 2026 season with our closest friends and supporters!
Honoree Karrie Webb
One of the most accomplished and respected players in the history of the sport, Karrie Webb is the only individual to complete the Career Super Grand Slam by winning all five majors in women’s professional golf.
Webb ranks top-10 in LPGA history in both career victories (41) and majors (7), including back-to-back U.S. Open titles in 2000 and 2001. She was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2005 at the age of 30, the youngest player ever to earn induction at the time.
Born in Queensland, Australia, Webb burst onto the scene in 1996 by winning the LPGA Rookie of the Year Award and becoming the first LPGA player to surpass $1 million in single-season earnings. She would top the LPGA Tour’s money list on two other occasions (1999 and 2000), earning LPGA Tour Player of the Year honors following both seasons.

Her philanthropic work includes support of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, which advances initiatives for individuals impacted by paralysis, the Karrie Webb Scholarship Series, created to grow the game for Australian women and girls, and she serves as an official Ambassador for the Special Olympics and its 2026 USA Games.
She was also honored as an Officer of the Order of Australia for her distinguished service to golf as a player, role model, and mentor.

2025 Banquet Recap
A sold out crowd of 1,700 guests packed the ballroom at Encore Boston Harbor last April as the Ouimet Fund honored Dick Connolly with the 2025 Francis Ouimet Award for Lifelong Contributions to Golf.
Due in large part to Connolly’s efforts, the Ouimet Banquet has become an annual tradition in New England, honoring golf’s most respected individuals who have made tremendous contributions to the game. Guests enjoyed a fireside chat with Connolly moderated by Golf Channel’s Rich Lerner, who made his third guest appearance at the Annual Banquet.
Proceeds from this historic banquet benefited the Connolly Family Scholarship, a named endowed scholarship awarded annually to Ouimet Scholars with the most financial need.
