New Mexico Grande Slam

A special year for the New Mexico Grande Slam

This year’s New Mexico Grande Slam comes at a special moment as Notah Begay III is recognized as the 2026 recipient of the Payne Stewart Award, one of golf’s most distinguished honors celebrating character, charity and sportsmanship.

Join us Oct. 20 for a special celebration of this milestone and the values that continue to drive Notah’s work through NB3 Foundation. The 2026 Grande Slam will bring together friends, partners and supporters for a memorable day of golf and giving, followed by an evening reception recognizing Notah’s Payne Stewart Award honor and the collective impact we can continue to make for children across New Mexico.

From Notah Begay III:

During my years as a student-athlete at Stanford University, I quickly learned that creating “win-win” ventures is the best possible scenario for all. The New Mexico Grande Slam has quickly become a catalyst of positive change for children in New Mexico. Since 2016, the event has raised over $800,000 for the NB3 Foundation and twelve other distinguished children’s charities in the state. The resources created through the support of individuals, corporations and tribal nations now works in unison to eliminate disparities, create opportunity and provide hope for all our children. We look forward to hosting you at what has become the premier golf event in New Mexico!
