Official TPWDGC Qualifying Events
A total of 2 spots will be available at each of the events listed below. Competitors who participate in TPWDGC qualifying events that are already eligible will be excluded from the qualifying process. In case of a tie for the final qualifying spot, the tournament director should hold a sudden-death playoff to determine the winner. If a playoff is not possible, the final spot should be awarded to the player with the lowest final-round score.
Individual qualifying rounds will occur at Winthrop on Monday, October 2, 2023. Each of the two lowest rounds will earn the right to compete in the 2023 TPWDGC. Only two spots are available. A sudden-death playoff will resolve ties if necessary.
The entry fee is $75.00. PDGA membership is not required to participate. Those who qualify for the TPWDGC on Monday must be current PDGA members and pass the PDGA Officials Exam before Thursday’s opening round. These steps can be taken in advance of Monday's Qualifying at www.pdga.com.
Pre-registration is required. Online registration for USDGC Monday Qualifying will open on Wednesday, September 20th, 2023.
