Started as the Centennial Golf Classic during the 100th celebration of Montana’s statehood in 1989, the Montana Chamber Foundation annually hosts more than 400 business and government leaders, representing over 100 businesses from across Montana, the entire U.S., and even around the world through the Governors’ Cup Golf Tournament.

This beloved Montana event is specifically organized for networking and to promote the state’s growing opportunities for business and investment, as well as a charitable fundraiser for our various programs. The Governors’ Cup recognizes and appreciates the support of all of Montana’s living governors, many of whom attend the tournament and serve as Honorary Hosts each year.

Join us at 6 p.m. on August 2 at the Flathead Valley Community College for an evening reception and dinner. The reception is open to the public and is a great opportunity for networking. Golfers and sponsors do not need to register for the event.

Online registration for this event is now closed.
