Field Cut to 33% of the Professional Field
33% of the professional field will make the cut, insuring that every player that plays the final day will earn a check. 

AMATEUR INFORMATION:  Our hope is to have 78 professionals per event, but in the event that 78 professionals aren't registered, we welcome all amateurs to participate.  All amateurs registered 48 hours prior to the event will be locked in the field and will not be removed for a professional.  Anytime prior to the 48 hr. deadline amateurs are subject to being removed for a professional player on the waiting list.

PURSE INFORMATION: The West Florida Golf Tour has provided the players with this sample table of how a Summer Tour purse will be broken down.  This is the minimum the purse will look based on our highest course cost and remember that amateur participants aren’t included in this table, but do contribute to the purse.  We promise to pay every player that makes the cut, which will be 33% of the professional field.
