Overview
The Wisconsin PGA is proud to present the Oliphant Golf Management Pro-Am Championship for the eighth straight year. With the help of Oliphant Golf Management and The GC’s of 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 nine “regular season” pro-ams that the Wisconsin PGA offers.
Where can teams qualify?
The top 3 finishers among the eligible teams at the pro-ams at Oconomowoc GC, Grand Geneva Resort, The Club at Strawberry Creek, The Bull, Bullseye GC, The Meadow Valleys Course and North Hills CC will qualify for the championship field.
The top 2 finishers among the eligible teams at The Legend at Bergamont and Hidden Glen GC will qualify for the championship field.
NOTE: Once a professional qualifies, he will not be able to qualify with another team.
Field Capacity & Other Participating Teams?
The field will be made up of 29 teams. In addition to the 25 teams that qualify through aforementioned pro-ams, the field will also include three sponsor teams and an invitation will be extended to the professional from the defending champions team.
Will there be alternates?
For each event, there will also be two alternates in case a professional that qualifies elects not to play in the championship. 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. However since The Legend at Bergamont and Hidden Glen GC feature only two qualifying spots, they will guaranteed either the first and second alternate spots.
Additional Qualifying Rules
When a team qualifies, the professional earns the spot, not the team. The professional cannot transfer his spot to another professional. 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.
