Entry Process

Invitations will be distributed in a tiered order determined by the MGA. Receiving an invitation to compete in the Championships does not guarantee a spot in the final field. We encourage all players who receive an invitation to register as soon as they know they will be available to compete. Once the field has reached full capacity, a waiting list will be implemented based on time of entry. The MGA reserves the right to alter the waiting list as deemed necessary.

Any questions regarding the status of a player’s invitation should be sent to championships@mgagolf.org.
