It has been a standout week for golf in Redding, with two local players making headlines on very different stages.
Beau Forest claimed the top prize at the 2026 Redding Pro-Am Tournament, earning the title of champion at the annual event. The victory puts a Redding name front and center in the local golf community and gives fans plenty to celebrate close to home.
Meanwhile, fellow Redding golfer J.J. Abraham is taking his game to the national level, heading to Ohio to compete in the U.S. Senior Open. Earning a spot in one of golf’s most prestigious senior championships is a remarkable achievement, and Abraham’s appearance on that stage is a point of pride for the entire Northstate community.
Together, the two stories paint a bright picture of the talent coming out of Redding’s golf scene — from hometown tournament glory to a coveted tee time on a national championship course.
