Texas Oilman’s Charity Invitational Fishing Tournament (TOCIFT) has a mission to help those who cannot help themselves.

The Directors, all from various aspects of the oilfield services community, are committed to this goal. Since our 2002 inaugural tournament, we have donated $7.5 million to various charities. This year the tournament netted $85K from this amount, and from prior year earnings, $115K was distributed to 21 charities. We are proud of our accomplishments, and as a result of the continued support by our many company and, private sponsors, we have been able to grow the event beyond our expectations.

Our 2023 tournament had 677 people participating; including 309 fishermen, 21 tent table sponsors, and a vast number of guests and local celebrities. Congratulations to Martin Richard, winner of this year’s Grand Prize of $5,000 sponsored by Patterson UTI Drilling. We also want to congratulate Steven Voss, winner of a $5,000 Raffle Bucket sponsored by Patterson UTI Drilling.
