Connor Williams Reagan Zibilski claim titles at 2025 Patriot All-America

While most of the golf world was on hiatus until 2026 this week, there was one tournament in Arizona featuring many of the top amateurs in the world.

The Patriot All-America concluded Wednesday, with Arizona State junior Connor Williams and Arkansas senior Reagan Zibilski taking home the titles. Middle Tennessee State sophomore Connor Henry won the Thunderbird title, a second tournament conducted at the same time as the Patriot All-America.

The Patriot All-America Invitational features PING All-Americans from the previous season in NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA and NJCAA; as well as 2024 First Team All-America Seniors from the AJGA and other special invitees. The 54-hole amateur event is known as the first of its kind to combine the talents of 159 nationally recognized men and women golfers simultaneously at one tournament.

Williams shot 4-under 66 in the final round at the Wigwam Course in Arizona to complete his wire-to-wire victory. He finished at 14 under for the 54-hole event, enough for a six-shot victory.

“It feels amazing — I look forward to this tournament every winter break, and to come back to my second year and get the win means a lot,” Williams said. “I think I was in control of most of my game. I played very smart, some of these pins are very tricky, and I think I only made three bogeys all wee,k which is huge, because there's birdies out there but you’ve got to avoid some of those bigger numbers.”

Zibilski had a great final round, also signing for 4-under 66 to finish at 6 under overall and win by one shot over USC's Kylie Chong and 2023 champion Tillie Claggett of Vanderbilt.

“It's been a long year and a fun year, and so to cap off 2025 with a win it means so much,” Zibilski said. “I told my dad the front sounds really tough, so just stay patient and steady on the front, and then kind of get on a run on the back. And that's exactly what I did — I stayed patient and let the putts fall whenever they presented themselves.”

The Patriot All-America honors fallen or severely wounded soldiers in partnership with the Folds of Honor Foundation. The golfers receive a golf bag donated by PING Corporation at the event’s opening ceremony, emblazoned with the name and branch of service of a fallen or injured military member or first responder, whom they shall represent. Participants also receive a card with the soldier’s and first responder’s story so they can be familiar with that person, giving many of the top players a unique perspective not only on golf, but on life. At the conclusion of the tournament, the golf bags are shipped to players’ schools and auctioned, with all proceeds benefitting the Folds of Honor Foundation.
