2026 Matt Orth Memorial Golf Tournament

Welcome to our 14th annual Matt Orth Memorial Golf Tournament.

Next year, 2027, will be the 15th and FINAL year of the tournament.

Come enjoy a round of golf with friends and family honoring the legacies of Matt and Travis Orth. This day is about coming together and having a great time. Sharing love and support for everyone around that has been impacted by grief in their lives. The day is about healing and carrying onward in memory of two boys who loved a good time. (Or your own grief that may parallel the Orth brothers or be completely different. We are here for you.)

Show off your values of good sportsmanship, honesty, and professionalism or just enjoy pretending to play a game Matt and Travis loved.

You are guaranteed a good time and good food. After your round of golf; stay and enjoy a presentation of winners: Men's team, Women's team, Best Dressed Team, raffle basket drawings and infamous live auction by Uncle Joe!

We have supported Matt's alma mater, Lawrence University with an endowed named scholarship in his honor. The Matthew M. Orth Memorial Scholarship had reached its 100K endowed scholarship in 2022. Each year at least a $5,000 scholarship is given to a Minnesotan student in honor of Matt.

2023 and onward, the majority of proceeds from the tournament support CentraCare Suicide Prevention Program in honor of Matt’s older brother, Travis. Unfortunately, in Janurary of 2019 Travis ended his life without warning or reason known to us. We hope the two boys are happily playing golf together. We miss them both everyday of our lives!

A bit more about Matt: Born Feburary 16th, 1984 to Scott and RoxAnne Orth

Died September 9th, 2012 while playing hockey, another game he loved dearly.

His death is a mystery, we do not know why but he lives on in the hearts of all those who attend his memorial tournaments (MOMGTs).
