About The Shootout

World Golf Hall of Fame member and Roswell native Nancy Lopez and Albuquerque’s own Rosie Jones successfully defended their title at this year’s New Mexico Shootout

The second annual New Mexico Shootout was held at Sierra del Rio Championship Golf Course at Turtleback Mountain Resort on Friday September 5th in Elephant Butte, NM. It was presented and sponsored in part by the New Mexico Tourism Department. The Shootout is the only event in New Mexico that features four premiere members of the Ladies Professional Golf Association, all of whom have close ties to New Mexico.

World Golf Hall of Fame golfer Kathy Whitworth, winner of more tournaments than any other male or female professional golfer in history, hosted the Shootout Clinic.

Proceeds from The New Mexico Shootout support Sierra Vista Hospital, located in nearby Truth or Consequences. The hospital has recently begun a capital campaign aimed at raising $15 million to build a new facility that will provide up-to-date health care and state-of-the-art medical technology for Sierra County’s growing population as well as visitors.
