be held at a number of Top 100, Best-in-State, and facilities that host
PGA TOUR and LPGA Tour events,” said Kris Strauss, vice president, sales

be possible without the support of our frequent players, the incredible
golf courses and of course, our supporting event partners. We encourage
amateurs across the country to tee it up in a qualifying event as we’d
love to see them in Scottsdale this August.”
