Starting in 2018, golfers played the greens at the Country Club of Ocala in honor of Rick Croton. Three events and $60,000 later, the Rick Croton Memorial Golf Tournament helped change lives through funding prostate cancer research at the UF Health Cancer Center.

Rick, a regular at the Country Club of Ocala, passed away from prostate cancer five years ago. Last played in October 2020, the tournament remembered Rick while raising awareness for prostate cancer screenings.

Thank you to all the organizers and participants for their support in our battle against prostate cancer.
