Do you have the game to make it here?

The Pepsi Tour is owned and operated by All Golfers Tour Association, a California corporation founded in 1994 to organize, promote and conduct golf tournaments at the finest country clubs, resorts and public courses on the West Coast. Last year the Tour and its affiliated Pepsi Twilight Tour hosted a total of 212 tournaments in three states and awarded over $1,000,000 in prize money and amateur winnings.

The Tour has two separate divisions. Its Open Division is for professional and the very best amateur golfers who play in low gross competitions. Its Indexed Division is for non-amateur and amateur players of all skill levels who play in handicapped net competitions. 

The Pepsi Tour operates a complimentary developmental tour in Southern California. It's called the Pepsi Twilight Tour and it holds smaller low-cost tournaments on weekdays.

The Open Division of the Pepsi Tour features the West Coast's rising stars in the professional golf world. Most of its players have competed on college teams, some have participated in PGA Tour, Champions Tour and LPGA Tour events, and many have played on the Nationwide Tour, on foreign tours and on various developmental tours across the country.

In 2010 the Open Division is scheduled to hold more than 110 tournaments in California, Arizona and Nevada. The guaranteed first place prize money with a minimum of eight players is $800 to $1,200 at the one-day events, $1,600 to $2,500 at the two-day events, and $2,000 to $5,000 at the three-day events. The purse at each tournament depends on sponsors and the number of players, but one-third of the field wins prize money at each event.

Membership in the Pepsi Tour is NOT required to enter and compete in tournaments of the Open Division. However, prize money will be paid out only to members of the Tour. The cost of annual Open Division membership (12 month period) is $195. If a non-member wins prize money and is not competing as an amateur, he or she can: (a) use a portion of the winnings to pay the $195 annual membership fee and receive a check for the balance; or (b) leave the entire prize money on the books and use it for future tournament entry fees.  The cost of annual membership (12 month period) for amateur flight players is $95.

Entry fees at one-day tournaments in the Open Division range from $200 to $290 including golf, cart and range balls. The entry fees at multi-day events range from $400 to $660.

The Pepsi Tour will hold separate flight competitions for seniors and women at each Open Division tournament if eight or more seniors (47 years and older) and/or women are registered by the tournament entry deadline. In these Open Division flight competitions seniors and women can develop their game, win money or amateur prizes, and prepare for the Champions Tour and LPGA Tour qualifying schools. The guaranteed first place prize money at one-day flight competitions is $800. Although payouts vary based on the number of participants, one-third of the flight wins prize money at each tournament.

Scratch amateur players can compete in two ways on the Pepsi Tour. First, they can compete directly against professional golfers in the Open Division.  They pay the same entry fees and compete for the same potential prize winnings, but all amateur prizes are in the form of non-cash prize vouchers that comply with USGA guidelines and Pepsi Tour policy.  Second, amateur scratch players can also compete in amateur flight competitions with much lower entry fees and lower non-cash prize winnings. 

The Pepsi Tour will hold a separate amateur flight competition at each Open Division tournament if four or more amateur flight players are registered by the tournament entry deadline.  Non-cash prize vouchers will be awarded to 1/3 of the field accoding to payout charts based on $50 per player in 18-hole competitions and $100 per player in 36-hole competitions.  If there are less than four entries, amateur flight players will indirectly compete against professional players in a combined field and can win non-cash prize vouchers.

The Pepsi Tour also holds 18-hole mid-week tournaments at fixed locations in Northern and Southern California.  It conducts these low-cost events under the name "Pepsi Twilight Tour".  There are no membership requirements in the Pepsi Twilight Tour.
