BOONVILLE, Mo. — Pork producers, industry professionals, and supporters of agriculture are invited to hit the greens this summer as the Missouri pork community comes together for a day of networking, fundraising, and great food. The 27th Annual Missouri Pork Classic Golf Tournament and Rib Fest is set for June 16, 2026, at Hail Ridge Golf Course.
Hosted by the Missouri Pork Association, the event raises funds to support both the association and the Missouri Pork PAC, helping strengthen advocacy efforts and advance the pork industry across the state. The day kicks off with registration at 9:30 a.m., followed by a lunch at 10:30 a.m. and an 11:30 a.m. shotgun start. The event wraps up with a dinner and awards ceremony at 5:00 p.m., held onsite.
Participants will compete in an 18-hole, four-man scramble format, offering a fun and competitive environment for teams. Registration includes lunch, greens fees, cart, beverages, dinner, and prizes, with beverage carts available throughout the course. Organizers note that team spots are limited and expected to sell out quickly, encouraging early registration to secure a place in the tournament.
In addition to golf, the Rib Fest portion of the event adds a flavorful highlight, bringing together great barbecue and camaraderie within the pork industry. For those not participating in the tournament, lunch and dinner are available for purchase separately, making it easy for supporters to still be part of the day.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available, with a deadline of June 1 to ensure full recognition. Sponsors receive meals, beverages, event signage, and promotion through Missouri Pork Association publications and during the event. However, sponsorships do not include golfer registration.
With a strong focus on community, advocacy, and industry connection, the Missouri Pork Classic Golf Tournament and Rib Fest continues to be a staple summer event for pork producers and supporters alike—combining business, relationships, and a shared passion for agriculture.
