If there could be considered a reigning, defending, undisputed champion of the Hillcrest Swinger golf tournament, it would be the duo of Brady Shivers and Michael Pruitt.

Shivers, a Seminole native, has won each of the last five Swinger titles, the last four of which have come with Pruitt by his side. The pair will be looking to keep their streak alive in this year's edition of the Hillcrest Swinger, which begins on Friday morning.

Over 200 golfers are slated to compete in this year's tournament at the Hillcrest Golf & Country Club. The three-day, two-man low-ball tournament is scheduled to conclude on Sunday.

Shivers and Pruitt are, on paper, the favorites to bring home another title, but several of the golfers that have suffered runner-up finishes to the dynamic duo are scheduled to compete this weekend as well.

Stefan Cronje, last year's runner-up along with Xander Basson, will be paired with Lynney Tucker. Brian Scherer, a 2019 second-place finisher, will team with Lane Branum and Shawn Savage is partnered with Kelly Grunewald.

The first group is set to tee off at 7:15 a.m. on Friday with the afternoon session to begin at 12:30 p.m. The same schedule will follow on Saturday and Sunday with the awards ceremony slated for 7 p.m. on the final day.
