The 2026 Tyler ISD Foundation Golf Classic brought community leaders, sponsors, and golfers together for a memorable day on the green in support of the Tyler ISD Foundation and its mission to enhance educational opportunities for Tyler ISD students. Returning Golf Classic Co-Chairs Patrick McArthur and Patrick Woods welcomed participants to Hollytree Country Club for a beautiful day of golf benefiting Tyler ISD teachers and students.
