BOULDER — The individual champion of next month's Mark Simpson-Colorado Invitational will not only receive the usual trophy and recognition for winning a major college tournament, but will also earn an exemption into next summer's The Ascendant presented by Blue at TPC Colorado, one of the newer stops on the Korn Ferry Tour.
The Simpson will become one of only a handful of college tournaments that will provide for its medalist to earn an exemption into a professional tournament, and believed to be the first for a Korn Ferry event.
Anthony Knight, CEO of Ascendant National Title, agreed to award a sponsor's exemption to the Simpson winner into the 2023 The Ascendant.
