About this tournament
1 round of play
This event is a one-round Doubles in Willis, VA, held in conjunction with the Throw Pink women's singles fundraiser event.
The Doubles event will take place first in the morning, followed by the women's singles in the afternoon. Limited additional divisions are being offered to save space for our qualifying divisions.
If you're interested in participating in a division that isn't offered, reach out. We'll add/adjust as best we can as we go through the sign-up process, so we can better gauge the attendance of our qualifying participants.
Pros: This is an XC-tier charity event, so payouts will be very minimal.

MA1 (Mixed Amateur 1)
FA1 (Female Amateur 1)

Player Eligibility: VERY IMPORTANT
All players must meet one of the following criteria to be eligible to compete in the USDGC Doubles Main event:
- The Player is not a PDGA member or does not have a player rating, and has never accepted cash in a PDGA event.
- The player has an Amateur Player Classification with the PDGA - meaning the player is classified as an amateur and plays in amateur divisions for prizes instead of cash.
- If a player competes in a Pro division AND accepts cash at any time, they become classified as a Professional member. An Amateur class player has either never accepted cash, or if they have, they have later met the criteria to be reclassified from Professional back to Amateur with the PDGA.
- A mixed group of pro and am-class players is not allowed.
- Players who qualify as a team must play together as a team in the main event. No substitutions, no exceptions.
- Players may only qualify once for the USDGC Doubles Main Event
- Players that qualify in the MA2, FA2, MA40, and FA40 divisions will be expected to play in that division for the main event, unless one player on that team has their rating improve to the point that they no longer qualify for that division with regards to PDGA Divisional Ratings Caps
- Players who qualify for the Main Event in MA2 or FA2 remain eligible for the Main Event even if their rating increases during the season. However, if either player’s rating reaches:
935 or higher (MA2)
875 or higher (FA2)
And PDGA guidelines require the team to move up; they must compete in the higher division at the Main Event.
- The September 8 PDGA ratings update will serve as the official and final ratings determination for division eligibility. Subsequent rating changes will not affect Main Event placement.
The Doubles event will take place first in the morning, followed by the women's singles in the afternoon. Limited additional divisions are being offered to save space for our qualifying divisions.
