Golf Channel Am Tour's 2016 Major Championships head to top-flight courses from coast to coast
Each year the Golf Channel Am Tour offers competitors a tour-style experience on top-level courses throughout the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. The Am Tour's Major Championships are held on some of the the finest layouts nationwide. Host courses in 2016 include TPC Sawgrass, Pinehurst, Kiawah Island, Chambers Bay, PGA West, Blackwolf Run, Horseshoe Bay, and more.
Remember, the Am Tour isn't just for scratch players. Golfers of all abilities are able to compete since there are 12 flights, including six senior flights. At each event, players are matched up with golfers of the same skill level. You don't even have to have a USGA Handicap Index. Click here for more information on how you can get involved.
