NEW 2025 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The 2025 Golfweek National Championship courses have now been contracted. We will be using 6 courses this October. The only Flight that will have 2 courses each day is “B” Flight. The changes are a result of the incredible price increases and guarantees we have to make to reserve the courses. But the changes also mean that qualifying for Nationals will be harder than ever so all the players will have to play in more tournaments/regionals to make it to Nationals.
Additional updates are:
- Each flight for The Golfweek Tour will play three different courses this year as to give each player the maximum variety of Hilton Head courses.
- All prize pool gift cards will be VISA or MC! No more WWG or Palmetto Dunes gift cards for either National Championship. (This may not include the 2 Man Team based on sponsorship)
Prices for Golfweek Nationals will remain the same at $650

| How Our Tournaments Work |
| When you sign up for the tour, we will place you in a flight (see below) based on your current USGA Handicap Index or by making a determination based on your average scores. During the tournament, you will compete against other players in your flight in a true stroke play event. Prizes are awarded as Visa Gift Cards and winners of each flight receive an etched crystal trophy.
Optional CASH games
You can enter as many or as few of the CASH games as you like (or none).
$40 buy In each tournament ($80 for a two-day tournament ) gets you in all the games.
$20 goes in a skins pool (birdie or better) for each flight (Champ/A. B,C,D)
$10 goes in the Super Skins pool for ALL flights
$10 goes in the Par 3 Challenge
This event is a cumulative score for all Par 3s for a tournament. The lowest cumulative score on all par 3s wins the flight pot (Champ/A,B,C,D) Ties will split the pot.
