About this tournament
For pros: There will be a minimum of $10,000 added cash, including guaranteed payouts of $2,000 for the MPO winner and $1,000 for the FPO winner. Greatest Media Team will provide post-produced coverage on YouTube for all three MPO rounds and the final round of FPO. The event is also a USDGC/TPWDGC qualifier with the top two previously unqualified men's Pool A players and the top previously unqualified FPO finisher punching their tickets to Winthrop!
For ams: In addition to a custom event polo, everyone will get a door prize with multiple marquee items in the pool among discs, merch, etc. -- become a winner before your first throw! You will be competing for payout from Chamberlin Outdoor Sports, which will be on site vending.
And for all players: free lunch and dinner on Saturday! Thanks to The Pizza Cutters for providing award-winning wings and pizza to all players between Rounds 1 and 2. That will be served with complimentary beer from our friends at Willow Rock Brewing Company! Then, after Round 2, there'll be a dinner spread waiting for us at Willow Rock's taproom in Cicero, where we'll host the players party (raffles don't get much bigger than this one!).
