TEAM USA

The San Roque Club, Sotogrande, Spain

11th – 18th July 2026

Greg Hooper – Non-Playing Captain

Georgia

I have played golf since age of 8. Despite losing my central vision in the right eye at 17 years of age I started playing with high school golf. I continued to play recreational until the loss of central vision at 35 years old. Unable to play alone from that point on, I found my friends wouldn’t let me quit the game and relearned the game using a guide. I later founded the United States Blind Golf Association in 2010 and started playing competitive golf. I have been member of the Vision Cup, the Ryder Cup of Blind Golf representing North America. And extremely proud to be a two-time member of The Cairns Cup representing Team USA.

Brandon Williams – Vice-Captain

Ohio – Leg Amputee

After a car accident in 2005, I would go out with friends just chipping and putting for therapy, both physically and mentally. That progressed into building a special set of hybrids so that I was able to go out and play 9 holes. I progressed to18 holes eventually joining a league to get that competition back in my life, that I so badly missed and needed! I found in 2017 an amputee golf tournament in Michigan, I’ve been competing in amputee/disabled golf tournaments ever since. I can’t wait to be Vice- Captain at san Roque in Jul, when I can put my skills to the test against some of the best adaptive golfers in the world.
