9th Annual Tournament of Driving Forces

Come celebrate entrepreneurship with the Lavin Entrepreneurship Center, SDSU alumni, current students, local entrepreneurs, and professionals at the 9th Annual Tournament of Driving Forces. Created by three local entrepreneurs, the Tournament of Driving Forces enables the Center to continuously produce programs and events that fuel creativity and provide the tools necessary for entrepreneurs to develop their companies.

The 9th Annual Tournament of Driving Forces is the perfect chance to enjoy a day of golfing, networking, and supporting SDSU young entrepreneurs at the challenging Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Course. After the tournament the fun continues, with a full dinner and auction. Examples of previous auction items included a brand new, electric Taylor guitar and an exotic trip to a vacation house in Baja.

This year we are pleased announce our participation with Lexus Champions for Charity! This once in a life time opportunity means you could win a Lexus with a hole-in-one or you could play at Pebble Beach.
