The big one.

All year long we've been holding "Silver Tier" flex starts and "Gold Tier" shotgun start events across the state, and now it's finally time to bring the best of the best together for one final showdown.

2 rounds in 2 days at Research Park- located on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station- will decide the champion of the inaugural Throwing Down the Gauntlet season. Over $4000 in added cash and prizes will be spread across all divisions, including $950 specifically allocated for professional divisions.

In addition to the added value in cash and prizes, we will also have 18 CTP/longest putt prizes over the course of the 2 rounds, an ace pot, and a Mega CTP for you to play for.

This will be a 2 day tee time event and will be INVITE ONLY. Invitations have been 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 Tier and Gold Tier tournaments, and the top point earners in each division have been rewarded invites based on their play. Winners of Gold 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.

Divisions with fewer than 4 players will not be hosted- players will have the option to play up into another division or to receive a refund for their entry if their division doesn't meet the required number of players.

Players packs for this event will include custom FlighTowels, dri-fit commemorative shirts, bag tags, and more- we'll be sure to stock you up on enough goodies to get you through your championship weekend.

IN ADDITION to the tournament, there will be a "warmup" flex start (open to anyone) the day before the event, and Tanner McCartney will be hosting a clinic (driving, putting, optional form reviews, and more) on site as well.

A Pool will be MPO, MP40, MP50, MA1, MA2, and MA40
B Pool will be MA50, MA3, MJ15, and FA1
