39th Annual Golf Tournament

Monday, June 2, 2025 Palos Verdes Golf Club

with a PURPOSE

All proceeds benefit Torrance Memorial’s Emergency Department Expansion

Torrance Memorial Medical Center once again proudly secures a coveted spot on Newsweek’s 2025 World’s Best Hospitals list, ranking among the top 150 to 250 globally.

This achievement surpasses many prestigious academic institutions in California and the South Bay. Notably, our hospital stands at an impressive #10 in California and 43rd in the United States.

Newsweek partnered with Statista Inc. to ensure the ranking’s credibility, drawing on insights from medical experts, patient surveys, key hospital metrics and Statista’s Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) survey. Our medical excellence speaks for itself— reinforced by comparisons with other top-ranked hospitals across the nation and the South Bay.

Tournament Chair

Rick Higgins

Rick and his wife, Eve, have lived in Palos Verdes Estates since 1985 and are members of Palos Verdes Golf Club where Rick has served as a past president. He loves golf and plays twice a week since retiring 22 years ago from Capital Group. Rick served on several boards, including board president for Catholic Big Brothers, Big Sisters and board member at L.A. Biomed (now The Lundquist Institute). For the past 9 years he has been a board member on the Torrance Memorial Foundation Board.

Rick says he is very fortunate to live in such a nice area with his two sons and their families living within walking distance. His work with the hospital can be summed up this way: “I am proud to support Torrance Memorial Medical Center, the jewel of the South Bay, and one of the best hospitals in the country.”
