The Allstate Sugar Bowl Tommy Moore Memorial is an annual tournament featuring top-ranked junior golfers from across the country to compete each holiday season in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Tommy Moore was the most accomplished junior golfer to ever emerge from the New Orleans area. In 1980, Tommy was ranked #1 in the Golf Digest Junior World Rankings and went on to have a decorated collegiate career at Oklahoma State University where he was an All-American, National Champion, and Academic All-American.
After playing on the PGA TOUR for three seasons, Tommy Moore's life was cut short at the young age of 35 due to a rare blood disease. In his memory, the Kelly Gibson Foundation is proud to partner with the Allstate Sugar Bowl to host a national event that recognizes the impact Tommy made on junior golf and the New Orleans community.

“I had a fun time playing in the Allstate Sugar Bowl Tommy Moore Memorial! I was able to win with rounds of 75, 72 for a two-day total of +3. I was proud to secure my spot in a 3-way playoff with a very strong field. I have been working hard on my game with my team of coaches at the Golf Academy of Diamondhead. Having to adjust to the wind made it challenging for everyone. This tournament was a great experience. I was proud to be in the field of such a prestigious event and to finish on top is a huge honor. It was really neat to be able to win the play off with my parents, grandparents, sister, and golf family there to cheer me on."
- Karstyn Altese
“My favorite shot was the eagle putt I made on 18. It was tough conditions, but everyone had to play in it, I just had to keep plugging along. Had to go into a 4-hole playoff but just kept my head down and did not worry about what my opponent was doing, just played my own game.”
