We have an exciting event to announce that is happening in Scottsdale Arizona on November 14th, 2023. The National Putting Tour is throwing their end of the year championship. It will be held at Putting World in North Scottsdale, Arizona. The tournament will start at 10:00 a.m.
We will be filming a TV show that is going to be in the running for airing next August on ESPN2 and ESPN news. It will be for their show ESPN 8 “The Ocho” which is a 2-hour show where they showcase outside of the box sports. This is slated to be one of the biggest putting tournaments that has ever been done in the USA.
They have about 40 players confirmed so far. Here is some more information about the event:
The buy-in is going to be $100 plus a $25 green fee that goes to Putting World. We are going to pay the top 33% of the field. There will be no rake for this event. All money from the $100.00 entry fees will be going back to the players. This will be a 36 hole event. Will be playing an easy version of the Putting World putting course. The tee boxes will be in the middle three feet from the back. On holes 1,2,3,5 and 16 they will be six feet from the back.
Would you be interested in playing? If so, we have some things that are a must:
- No matter what place you finish up in, you must stay until 2:30 p.m. If you are out of the tournament, we still need you as a spectator to fill up the video frame.
- If you finish in the top 33% and you want a payout that day, you will have to wait until probably around 3:30 p.m. to get paid out.
- You must be okay with being interviewed either before or after the event.
- You must be okay playing with the presence of TV cameras. We may have to stop play at certain points to wait for camera men to get into position.
- If you are not in one of the final groups, we kindly ask that you stand around the 18th hole at the end to applaud the final groups when they make putts. This will help excitement for the TV show.
- We are going to be filming some scripted scenes that will involve some acting. You must have patience during these filming times.
