The 39th annual Treetops Fall Charity Invitational, presented by Pepsi, is a team charity golf tournament held October 4–6, 2026 at Treetops Resort in Gaylord, Michigan. The event features a modified scramble format with teams of four players: one professional (or scratch amateur) and three amateurs. Net team scores are calculated by deducting 15% of the combined amateur handicaps from the gross scramble score each day. Maximum allowable individual handicaps are 18 for men and 27 for women. Players must submit a GHIN or GAM handicap for net scoring; failure to do so results in a scratch/zero handicap. The tournament includes 54 holes of golf over three days, played on the Fazio Premier, Smith Signature, and Jones Masterpiece courses. Entry fees range from $2,717 for a non-lodging team to $3,676 for a lodging team in chalets or cottages. The package includes two breakfasts, three lunches, two dinners, and entry into the skins pot. The event also features a Par Three Shootout on Saturday evening, with the top five teams qualifying for the 6pm four-hole shootout. All proceeds support scholarships for graduating seniors from Otsego County through the Treetops Resort Endowed Fund, administered by the Otsego Community Foundation. Registration is available online via Golf Genius.
