PGA Super 60s Championship makes Scottish
debut at Gleneagles Queens in August
PGA
Professionals will get the chance to showcase their playing skills in
another varied and exciting national tournament schedule unveiled for
2016 climaxing in the PGA Play-Offs in Turkey.
Among the summer highlights will be a return to The Oxfordshire for the Titleist and FootJoy PGA Professional Championship with the £90,000 event taking place from July 26-29.
Nine regional qualifying competitions will determine the 144 strong field for the flagship event for PGA club pros with some of the UK’s leading courses welcoming upwards of 600 pros eager to qualify, with the added incentive of earning some PGA Cup points with qualification for the 2017 team beginning here.
With a range of categories catered for in the national schedule, the over 50s will take centre stage in the first event of the season from May 11-13 when the Senior PGA Professional Championship tees off at Foxhills.
Foxhills has proved a happy hunting ground for the Scots with Fraser Mann and Kenny Hutton winning there in the last two years.
Leading finishers in the £37,000 tournament will also qualify for the PGA Seniors Championship.
Following the PGA Professional Championship at The Oxfordshire, a busy August sees three events beginning with the £32,500 Galvin Green PGA Assistants’ Championship.
Closing out August is the ever popular PGA Super 60s which this year makes its first visit to Scotland and the magnificent Gleneagles resort and the Queen’s from August 24-25.
October sees rising hopefuls of the LET Access Series compete in the WPGA International Challenge at Stoke by Nayland with the 54-hole tournament staged from 6-8 of that month.
December marks the end of the season when leading players from across the seven PGA regions plus the top two from the PGA Professional Championship and the PGA Assistants’ Championship winner battle it out for supremacy in the PGA Play-Offs at Turkey’s Antalya Golf Club from December 2-5.
At stake for the top 10 eligible players is a place at the BMW PGA Championship in 2017 while the top three eligible will qualify for the 2017 Great Britain and Ireland PGA Cup team.
Details of the PGA National Pro-Am and PGA Pro-Captain Challenge will be released shortly.
