PGA TEAM GOLF FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PGA Team Golf (formerly City Tour) is a golf tournament series for adult golfers consisting of local golf tournaments culminating in a National Championship in September. Golfers do not need to play in every event.

PGA Team Golf hosts 18-hole tournaments on Saturdays or Sundays. Each tournament is team-based and offers a best-ball and a scramble division (teams select which format they want to play after paying the registration fee).

A team is considered 4 to 6 people, broken down into 2 or 3 pairs. The two lowest scoring pairs on a team are your team's score. If you have 3 pairs, your third pairs scores are dropped. Confused? Here's a simple infographic:

We know not everyone has a team, individuals are more than welcome to register.  Our staff will simply assign them a team for the tournament. All individuals are known as "Free Agents". If you enjoy playing with your playing partner, you may elect to play with that person again next time.

Absolutely, when you create a team you can invite as many people as you like to join and compete with you for each tournament.  You also choose your pairs prior to each tournament round.

If you and a friend (2 people) would like to play, the best way to do that is to "start a team". Since the minimum number of players on a team is 4, we will then round out your team with free agents to fill the other spots.
