ELIGIBILITY

Facilities employing only Apprentice Professional's may enter a team consisting of an amateur and an Apprentice Professional.
New for 2024
An Assistant Professional may step in for a Head or Executive Professional; however, their team's registration will be accepted only after May 1st, provided that a satisfactory rationale for the Head/Executive Professional's absence is given.
Amateurs:
Club champions who are not amateurs at the time of the Tournament of Champions will not be eligible, as defined by the Amateur Status with Golf Canada. If a Club Championship winner is unable to participate, the runner-up or club designate may act as a substitute.
CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT
The PGA of BC Tournament of Champions is an 18-hole Best Ball format. Professionals should return their team scorecard with the team score only. Ensure that scorecards denote which player's score was used on each hole. Scorecards should be returned to the PGA of BC immediately after completion of play.
