Mike Norvell, Urban Meyer repeat as champions of Southern Company Peach Bowl Challenge, an annual charity golf event

An offseason favorite took place on Tuesday. Some of college football’s top coaches got together to play in a golf tournament dubbed the 2025 Southern Company Peach Bowl Challenge. And for a second straight season, Florida State‘s Mike Norvell plus former Florida and Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer found themselves at the top of the leaderboard.

Per a release from the Peach Bowl, Norvell and Meyer had four birdies and three eagles throughout their entire round. Meyer was the clutch one of the pairing, sinking a 15-foot putt to clinch the championship on the 18th hole. They wound up scoring 45 total points.

“Early in the round, we put the ball where it needed to be and were able to be aggressive going into the greens,” Norvell said. “We had some good opportunities and were able to capitalize on them. Urban was clutch in some big moments and we really played well together. When we had to have each other’s backs, we did. It was great partner golf.”

“This year Mike drove the train,” Meyer added. “He was phenomenal off the tee and long. His tee shots were unbelievable all day. On the final putt, Mike gave me a great read. It was one of those things where you think it’s going to go in and then it goes in. I knew it was going in.”

Both Norvell and Meyer went into the event representing charities. Norvell planned to support the Keep Climbing Family Foundation while Meyer went with the Urban and Shelley Meyer Family Foundation. $32,500 will be going to those foundations now because of the coach’s efforts.

“The Keep Climbing Family Foundation and the Urban and Shelley Meyer Family Foundation will each receive $32,500 with the first-place finish by Norvell and Meyer,” the statement said. “Norvell has now won a total of $75,000 in the event’s history, while Meyer has taken home $225,000 all-time for his charities.”

Plenty of other high-profile names participated on Tuesday. Finishing with the silver medal were Pitt‘s Pat Narduzzi and his teammate Rick Neuheisel. A good chunk of money, $22,500, will be heading to their charities as well.

Third place was two experienced SEC head coaches, Hugh Freeze and Steve Spurrier. Freeze, currently entering his third season with the Auburn Tigers, got paired with the Ol’ Ball Coach, who is enjoying retirement. Those two will see $17,500 sent to the charities they decided to represent.
