Registration Process

At 8:00 a.m. on Monday, October 28, 2024, registration will open for all three (3) Pro-Pro Am-Am events. Registration will take place via Google Form as with prior years, however, registering Professionals will have the opportunity to select their primary, alternate, and tertiary date selections during this process*.

The STPGA will stop accepting registrations for the Lottery Drawing at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, November 8, 2024. All registration submissions following this date will be placed on a Waiting List until following the Lottery Drawing on a first-come, first-served, space-available basis.

The STPGA will conduct the Lottery Drawing on Monday, November 11, 2024 and notify all Professionals as to their status by no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 15.

Payment will be due in full to the STPGA by 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 20, 2024. Any team who has not paid by this time will be removed from the Active Field and placed on the Waiting List.

*Please note* that if you are unable to compete in one of the Pro Pro Am-Am events, you may select “N/A” on the Google Form. This will not increase or decrease your chances of getting into your other selected date(s).

Lottery Drawing Process

The STPGA will follow the process of the Selective Service System for determining entry order into the Pro-Pro Am-Am events while utilizing the existing STPGA Priority Entry System.

There will be two (2) drawings from two (2) buckets, the first of which will have sheets of paper with each Pro-Pro team written on it, and the second with numbers denoting the number of Pro-Pro entries received (i.e., if 20 Pro-Pro teams enter, there will be slips of paper numbered 1-20). 

The first drawing will be conducted utilizing only teams consisting of two (2) Class-A PGA of America Members and teams consisting of one (1) Class-A PGA of America Member and one (1) Class-B PGA of America Associate. The second drawing will be conducted utilizing teams consisting of two (2) Class-B PGA of America Associates and these will be entered into the field utilizing the method outlined under “Event Date Determination” only if there are spots still available in the field.

One slip of paper will be drawn from the first bucket to correspond with a Pro-Pro team, and one slip will be drawn from the bucket containing the number of teams. The team will be matched with the number, and that number will determine the order in which that team is selected to enter the event.

For example, if the team drawn from the first bucket is Archer/Hutton and the number drawn from the second bucket is #5, the team of Archer/Hutton will be the 5^th team entered into the event.

Reduction in Amateur Teams

PGA of America Members/Associates will have until the payment deadline at 3:00 p.m. on

Wednesday, November 20, 2024 to reduce the number of amateur teams they are bringing to the event.

Any reduction following this date/time will witness a forfeiture of 50% of the entry fee of the number of teams reduced.

Event Date Determination

Utilizing the order selected through the Lottery Drawing Process, the STPGA staff will enter teams into their preferred event date starting with Team #1 and continuing until all three (3) events are filled.

Once one of the event dates is filled, the next team to be entered who had selected that date as their primary date will be relegated to their alternate date (if applicable). I.e., Event Date #2 has filled, and the 9th team entered into the event had Event Date #2 as their primary date, they would then be entered into Event Date #3 which they had identified as their alternate date.

*Please note* that this means that there is a chance that a team with a number higher than yours could gain entry into one of the Event Dates if you select “N/A” for your alternate or tertiary date(s).

Once all three (3) Event Dates have been filled, any remaining teams will be placed on the Waiting List in the order of the Lottery Drawing Process, with any registrations following the cutoff date of 11:59 p.m. on Friday, November 8 being placed in a first-come, first-served basis behind them.
