Mike Taggart Celebration Of Life Memorial
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of an Ojai Tennis Tournament legend, Mike Taggart. Mike passed away recently back at his summer home on Higgins Lake in Michigan. While an accomplished player and lover of the game, Mike won’t be remembered for any of his exploits on the court on championship Sunday at The Ojai. Instead, he will go down as one of Ojai’s all-time greats in his commitment and generosity to the 125-year-old event that began in 1896. Mike single-handedly saved The Ojai Men’s and Women’s Open divisions back in 2003 when he began donating the entire $30,000 prize money, and has continued to do so each year.

‘The Ojai’ really fired us up to play tennis and to be good enough to play there someday. …… The whole scene there was so magical for us. And when we started playing there as each year passed we had more and more local fans coming out to watch us and root for us. We were so proud to win titles there and still have great memories of ‘The Ojai.’
