PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Club Golf Tour LLC has announced the launch of the Club Golf Tour, one of the most exciting golf tour formats in the world. Open to an estimated 26 million amateur golfers in the U.S. regardless of their handicaps or genders, the Tour’s unique format will allow players nationwide to select their own time and location to play a round of golf – enabling players to compete against each other despite not being able to play at the same time/event or venue.
The PGA TOUR(R)’s TPC Network(R) of clubs will host all Club Golf Tour events. Top performing golfers will become eligible to compete in Regional tournaments in the fall, with the top six players from each of the various flights and divisions qualifying for a six-day, all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas for the chance to compete in the season-ending Vegas Million Dollar Challenge at TPC(R) Las Vegas – featuring $1,075,000 hole-in-one cash prizes.
“This distinctive tournament format for amateur golfers will not only revolutionize the way golfers from across the U.S. can compete, but will also serve as an outstanding platform for raising funds for American heroes and their families,” said Club Golf Tour LLC CEO, Morne van Rensburg. “The message behind the Tour is simple: Everyone has the ability to make a positive impact and inspire change.”
Participants will compete in a variety of flights and divisions, ranging from USGA(R)-affiliated members to players with no official golf club affiliation or handicap.
