Good morning tournament participants

We want to thank all of our tournament sponsors.
Unfortunately, this year we will need to lower the first place Pro division to $15,000 first place because of a reduction in participation.

Huge thanks to our tournament sponsors, if it wasn’t for them, the payouts would need to be significantly lower.

Fortunately, we are able to keep the Am Division the same and pay down 5 places.

Thank you for all of your support and understanding!
