The 86th annual Selma Invitational will tee off Friday at the Selma Country Club.

A total of 90 players make up the field for the three-day event.

“I think we have a stronger field than we have had in a number of years,” Tommy Burns, PGA professional with the Selma Country Club, said. “We have the Alabama State seniors coming next week and we have a lot of those guys that are coming. I just feel like the field is going to be better than ever this year.”
