    The gate to our area behind the parking lot will be open by 6 p.m., possibly earlier (staff will have to clean up after an earlier reservation). For anyone who arrives before our space is ready: the public bar will be open so feel free to stop in there.

About this tournament

$10,000 added cash
3 rounds of play
The Syracuse Open is moving to September and becoming a professional A-Tier this year! There will be a minimum of $10,000 added cash for pro divisions with guaranteed payouts of $2,000 for the MPO winner and $1,000 for the FPO winner.

We'll have MPO post-produced coverage from Gatekeeper Media for all three rounds as well as FPO final round coverage. 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!

And for all players: free lunch and dinner on Saturday!

Thank you to our returning title sponsor, The Pies Guys, for the tremendous, steadfast support! In addition to contributing toward the pro purse, Reis and his team are once again providing free lunch for all players on Saturday -- specialty pizzas, boneless wings and salad!

Then, The Spinning Wheel Restaurant (7384 Thompson Rd, North Syracuse, NY 13212) is hosting our players party on Saturday night. There'll be a complimentary buffet with ziti/meatballs/salad/pizza, a loaded raffle, cornhole (and plenty of room to set up baskets/other yard games), as well as a private cash bar with indoor tables.
