This will be a 3 day tee time event and will be INVITE ONLY. Invitations are being sent out to qualifying individuals based on season point standings and tournament performance. These points have been earned throughout the year for players who have participated in Silver, Gold, and Platinum Tier tournaments, and the top point earners in each division have been rewarded invites based on their play. Winners of Gold or Platinum Tier events and those who have won at least 3 Silver Tier events have also received automatic invitations for their performance throughout the year, regardless of where they fall in overall points standings.

Players that receive an invite must register in the respective division that they are invited for. If an invite is earned for multiple divisions, players may choose which division they will play among the divisions they won an invite for.
