The World Amateur Handicap Championship

The PGA TOUR Superstore remains the sponsor of the World Amateur Handicap Championship.

All that you have come to love about the event will stay the same for 2007. About 4,000+ Amateur golfers all competing for the chance to become World Champion regardless of age, gender, or playing ability, the USGA Handicap system makes us all EQUAL. BUT…… there will be some great additions and changes that will enhance your enjoyment of the event.. PRIZES will take on a whole new meaning with PGA TOUR Superstore as your title sponsor, in fact the event will distribute over $130,000 in gift certificates for the Top Ten finishers in each flight!

THE WORLD'S LARGEST 19TH HOLE will be a great new experience with the addition of a 40,000 sq. foot store that could only be described as a “Tour Van” for amateur golfers. There you will find rows of the newest equipment from the top manufacturers ready for demo, apparel from top designers, high tech swing simulators and launch monitors, putting greens, games and contests, all creating an entertaining, interactive atmosphere second to none. Of course all of the food, drinks, and live entertainment that have come to define the tournament's nightly functions will be there for everyone's enjoyment.
