The banquet takes place on May 24th at the Naples Grande Beach Resort. In addition to Strange's presentation, attendees will take part in a silent auction and cocktail reception.

Strange won his U.S. Open crowns in back-to-back years in 1988 and 1989. He won 17 times on the PGA Tour and was one of the most dominant golfers of the 1980s.

Strange was the leading money winner on the PGA Tour in 1985, 1987 and 1988. That last season, he became the first golfer to top one million in earnings in a year and was named PGA Tour Player of the Year.
