So my company is hosting a golf tournament. When I write: “Our fourth annual tournament” can I capitalize the F, A and T? Thanks!
I would capitalize all of them.

It depends. The first letters in proper nouns are always capitalized. In other words, if Our Fourth Annual Tournament is the name of the tournament, the string of words becomes a proper noun and initial caps are needed. If those words are just the description of the tournament in a sentence but not its name, the first letters shouldn’t be capitalized.
In headlines, a fairly common practice is to capitalize the first letters in the most important words. This is a matter of style, however.
