The tournament, which can accommodate up to 144 players, will be a four-person, team-scramble format with awards being presented to flight champions and winners of the closest-to-the pin, longest drive and putting contests.

Following the tournament, participants are invited to attend the dinner ceremony hosted by SAC alum Ed Arnold. During the ceremony the 2016 student-athlete scholarship winners will be introduced and there will be a silent and live auction.

Proceeds from the tournament will support the continued development of the Santa Ana College Athletic Hall of Fame, the Santa Ana College Athletic Department, and provide scholarships to transferring Santa Ana College student-athletes. The Santa Ana College Athletic Hall of Fame honors former student-athletes, coaches and special contributors who have distinguished themselves throughout the 100-year history of the college.

In 2003, the Santa Ana College Athletic Hall of Fame Golf Classic was renamed the Ed Arnold Golf Classic in honor of Santa Ana College Hall of Fame member (1980), Santa Ana College Athletic Hall of Fame member (2009) and Orange and Los Angeles Counties broadcasting legend Ed Arnold.

Following his tour of duty with the United States Marine Corp, in 1966, Arnold graduated from Santa Ana College where he earned an associate of arts degree in business and played football for the Dons before transferring to California State University, Long Beach to earn his bachelor's degree in broadcasting.
