Troon invites you to experience great golf combined with friendly competition at the Troon Challenge, a series of amateur golf tournaments contested at several of the world’s finest golf courses. Regional qualifying events are held throughout the year at Troon courses across the United States. *Please note that the Troon Challenge is for amateurs only. Active PGA members or other golf professionals are not eligible to play.
Regional Qualifier Format
The event format is a two-person modified best ball (Shamble). Each player hits a tee-shot, the team selects the best tee-shot and each player plays their own ball from that point until it is holed. The lower of the two scores is the team score for the hole.
There is a Gross and Net Division at each Regional Qualifier. All Teams are eligible to compete in both divisions. Each team participant must provide a valid USGA GHIN handicap to compete in the Net Division. Players will receive 50% of their Course Handicap to determine their net score per hole.
The lowest Gross and Net scores of the entire field at all regional events will qualify for the 2022 Troon Challenge National Finals!
Regional Team Entry Fee Includes
- 18 holes with cart
- Practice balls prior to play
- Callaway golf balls
- Official AHEAD Troon Challenge hat

- Yardage guide, divot repair tool, bag tag (where available)

- Troon Associates are not eligible to play.
- If a participant plays in a regional qualifier and wins 1st place (gross or net), thus resulting in an invitation to the Troon Challenge Finals, then that player is no longer eligible to play in another qualifier with the same or new partner.
