2026 Nasters Preview
It is a tradition unlike any other.
Each spring, golf fans from around the world turn their attention to the venerated Westwood Gold Club, home of the Nasters Tournament and opening leg of the illustrious Grand Sham.
With the Mexican Petunias in bloom and the smell of bratwurst cooking on the clubhouse grill, Nasters hopefuls will make the short drive up Melaleuca Lane, past Mayhem Corner and the Miserable Mile, before arriving at the grounds where a new champion will be identified, documented, and, if necessary, explained.
