This year’s Pro-am will be held at the host course, the World Golf Village Slammer & Squire course on October 31. The Official Pairings Party will be hosted again by Murray Brother’s Caddy Shack restaurant on October 30. Also playing a significant role in the INK! Charity Pro-am is Murgado Maserati Jacksonville, which is offering a 2022 Maserati Levante as a hole in one prize. Murgado Automotive Group/ Bentley & Maserati Jacksonville is a Founding Partner of the overall Championship.
A true Pro-am, each of the three-person amateur teams will be paired with one of the professional players taking part in the PXG Women’s Match Play Championship, which will feature 84 of the best rising star professional players not yet on the LPGA Tour. Being held Monday, October 31, the Pro-am tournament features lunch prior to teeing off and a post-tournament awards reception in the clubhouse. On Sunday night, Murray Brothers Caddy Shack will host a fun and lively pairings party to which all professional players in the tournament are invited in addition to the amateurs participating.
