Overview
The Wisconsin PGA is proud to present the Oliphant Golf Management Pro-Am Championship for the eleventh straight year. With the help of Oliphant Golf Management and Lawsonia, the event will once again put an exclamation point on the pro-am season. Teams will have a chance to earn a spot in the field at the eight “regular season” pro-ams and both Pro-Ladies events.
Where can teams qualify?
The top 3 finishers among the eligible teams at the pro-ams at Wisconsin CC, Oneida G&CC, Bishops Bay CC, Tripoli CC, Maple Bluff CC, the Meadow Valleys Course, The Legend at Bristlecone and La Crosse CC will qualify for the championship field.
The top eligible team at the Spring and Summer Pro-Ladies will also qualify for the championship field.
NOTE: Once a professional qualifies, he will not be able to qualify with another team. However, this rule will not apply to both Pro-Ladies. In the case of the both Pro-Ladies, if an already qualified professional claims that spot they may get a substitute professional to take their additional team to the championship.
Field Capacity & Other Participating Teams?
The field will be made up of 29 teams. In addition to the 26 teams that qualify through aforementioned pro-ams, the field will also include three sponsor teams.
Will there be alternates?
For each standard pro-am event, there will also be two alternates in case a professional that qualifies elects not to play in the championship. For both Pro-Ladies there will be one alternate each. If a professional declines to play, their spot in the championship will be filled from an alternate rotation. The order of the alternate grid will be randomly drawn.
Additional Qualifying Rules
When a team qualifies, the professional earns the spot, not the team. The professional cannot transfer his spot to another professional (Exception both Pro-Ladies). The professional will then have the option to invite whichever amateurs he wishes (professional substitutions will be considered for extenuating circumstances).
The #1 handicap hole will be utilized to settle all ties for spots and alternates.
