Herman Sani Scholarship

The Tournament

As one of the most prestigious tournaments on the Iowa Golf Association schedule, held at Hyperion Field Club, The Herman Sani Invitational is a showcase for some of the best golf by Iowa professionals and top amateurs. Running continuously since 1950 (except for 1998, thanks to Mother Nature), the 54-hole tournament begins with a qualifying round on Friday or Saturday and finishes with morning and afternoon rounds on Sunday.

Many notable professionals have competed and won The Sani over the years. Two-time Sani champion Lon Nielsen (1976; 1982) is currently playing on the Seniors Champions Tour. 2000 Sani winner, 2007 Masters Champion Zach Johnson is currently on the PGA tour. Zach represented the U.S. in the 2006 Ryder Cup Matches and also won the BellSouth Classic in April 2004. 2001 winner Ben Pettit is presently competing on the Canadian Tour and won the Greater Sacramento Open in 2004.

Volunteering

It takes a lot of volunteer help to make this tournament a success. Approximately 75 people are needed as marshals, starters, scorers and announcers. Staffed mostly by Hyperion members and their families, this is an opportunity to watch and experience some great golf while helping to keep the tradition of The Sani as one of Iowa’s premier golf tournaments.
