Ernie Els is coming to town and wants to meet you! Be one of only twenty foursomes at the 10th Annual Princess Anne Country Club Pro-Am to Benefit the Els for Autism Foundation. The Tournament will be held on October 18-19, 2026. This years tournament also includes a Live Acoustic Performance by Country Music Artist George Birge during Sunday evening's Pro Auction.

Auction item includes a foursome at the event. Please note, winning bidders must participate in pro auction on Sunday, October 18 with a minimum bid of $500.

In March 2015, two dads met while enjoying golf at the Bear's Club in Florida and bonded over a disorder that their sons shared. Little did they know that this bond would turn the most unlikely of acquaintances (a professional golfer and a Navy SEAL) into fast friends. Fast forward to 2016 and Ernie Els is attending the retirement party of his Navy SEAL friend Steve "Dutch" Van Horn. It was at that party (and after several libations) that Dutch's friends decided they could do more to support the autism and Navy SEAL communities. The next summer (with less than four months of planning), the first Princess Anne Pro-Am Invitational to benefit the Els for Autism Foundation took place at the Princess Anne Country Club in Virginia Beach, VA. What the small group of friends thought would be a fun weekend spawned a, now annual, event that brings together professional athletes, autism advocacy and support organizations, corporations, golf enthusiasts and friends to give back. To date, the event has raised more than $1,000,000 and welcomed current and former PGA touring professionals Ernie Els, Marc Leishman, Carl Paulson, Doug Barron, Brett Quigley, Frank Lickliter, Tom Gillis, Stuart Appleby, Robert Allenby, John Senden as well as "Big Break" winner Jay Woodson and long drive champion Paul "Chewy" Howell.
