PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – PGA TOUR Americas announced Thursday the six recipients of its 2025 Tournament Awards, honoring excellence across the season’s 16 official events. In recognition of its unmatched fan experience, charitable impact and sponsor integration, the CRMC Championship presented by Northern Pacific Center was named 2025 Tournament of the Year.

Since 2022, the CRMC Championship presented by Northern Pacific Center has built a strong following in the region. Hosted at Cragun’s Resort on the Legacy Golf Course in Brainerd, Minnesota, the event has proven to be a formidable test of golf, with current PGA TOUR members Jake Knapp and Michael Brennan among its past champions.

“On behalf of PGA TOUR Americas, we are thrilled to congratulate the CRMC Championship presented by Northern Pacific Center on being named the 2025 Tournament of the Year,” said Alex Baldwin, President of PGA TOUR Americas. “This recognition is a testament to the great leadership of tournament director Jack Wawro and everybody at Cragun’s and CRMC. The event has quickly established itself as a highlight of the season among players and staff, and we look forward to returning to Cragun’s in 2026.”
