The tournament officially starts on Thursday, but this week’s events tee off Sunday with the annual million dollar hole in one shoot out.

The Louisiana Open has now raised more than $5 million for charities in the Acadiana area over its 25+ plus year existence. 

“The tournament such a success because of volunteers that help everything run smoothly,” said executive director, Danny Jones.

Just a heads up, the Louisiana Open is still in need of volunteers.
