New Year’s Invitational

The tournament will be played January 2-4, 2026. 

The format will be 54 holes, stroke play, from the championship tees.  The field will be limited to 92 contestants.  There will be no cut. The tournament winner will earn a spot in the Korn Ferry Tour’s Lecom Suncoast Classic to be held in April, 2026.

Entries will be reviewed as received and acceptance will be based on the entrant’s WAGR ranking and playing record in this and other tournaments. Entrants will be notified of acceptance via email. Payment must be made at that time to secure a place in the field.

The entry fee of $475 includes tournament rounds and practice round Thursday, January 1st. Players may request an earlier, alternate date for a practice round by contacting our pro shop at 727-864-1595. Applicable state and local sales taxes will be charged in addition to the entry fee.

As part of the entry fee, buffet breakfasts, on-course refreshments and post-round snacks will be provided for contestants each day of the tournament. The entry fee also includes use of carts for tournament and practice rounds. However, any contestant wishing to walk may do so.

Private housing with member families will be available on a limited basis. We’re putting together a list of hotels within a reasonable distance of the club which will be on this on this website in a few weeks.

Crystal and merchandise awards will be presented following the conclusion of play Sunday. As has been the case in past years, the top finisher among Mid-Am players(25 and over) will also receive a crystal award.

Entries may be completed on this website beginning September 1.

We look forward to your participation in our 100th New Year’s Invitational.
