The 20th Anniversary of the Hank Wright Golf Tournament and Auction will be held on Thursday and Friday, April 12 and 13.

So far, 23 boats have been confirmed for the World’s Richest Tarpon Tournament, and entries are still coming in.

According to Lew Hastings, executive director of the Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce, teams from all over the country have expressed interest in the tournament.

Observers are still needed for the World’s Richest. The dates have been set for the 2012 World’s Richest Tarpon Tournament Official Observer Training Certification.
Observers are required to attend at least one free training session to qualify to be assigned a vessel during the tournament.
