Allstate Sugar Bowl Golf

 

The Allstate Sugar Bowl became the title sponsor of the University of New Orleans' annual intercollegiate men's golf tournament beginning in 2010. UNO and 14 other Division I programs competed in the Allstate Sugar Bowl Mardi Gras Invitational Golf Tournament at the TPC Louisiana in Avondale from Feb. 21-23.

"We want to thank the Allstate Sugar Bowl for their support of our athletics program, and specifically this year's Mardi Gras Invitational," said UNO director of golf Chris McCarter. "We hope this is the start of a long-term relationship."

"We're pleased to partner with UNO in hosting the Allstate Sugar Bowl Mardi Gras Invitational," said Paul Hoolahan, CEO of the Allstate Sugar Bowl.  "We expect this to be a great event that will showcase our city and provide a competitive platform for some of the top collegiate golf talent in the country."

In the first year of Allstate Sugar Bowl sponsorship of the event, the University of San Diego shot a 5-over par 293 to capture the team title. San Diego took a three-shot win over runner-up NC State, which held the overnight lead but finished with a 10-over par 298. Tournament-host New Orleans finished third, five shots behind the Wolfpack after a 12-over par 300.
