Innovative new amateur golf tournament allows anyone in America to compete for professional size prices.
Boca Raton, FL – A revolutionary era in amateur golf has begun with today’s launch of The Million Dollar Round. For the first time, amateur golfers have the opportunity to compete for an extraordinary $1 million first prize, marking a historic milestone for non-professional sports.
The tournament series, known as The People’s Tournament, promises to elevate amateur golf with four significant cash prizes:
• 1st Prize: $1 Million
• 2nd Prize: $350,000
• 3rd Prize: $175,000
• 4th Prize: $100,000
Designed by Golf Enthusiast & Entrepreneur Guy de Havillande:
The brainchild of entrepreneur and passionate golfer Guy de Havillande, The Million Dollar Round aims to disrupt the amateur golfing world.
Speaking about the tournament, de Havillande shared: “We created this series to offer professional-level prize money to amateur golfers. Our goal is to deliver the same excitement, challenge, and adrenaline rush that professionals experience—but for everyday players. Sports should be inclusive, and everyone deserves a chance at the same rewards.”
The Million Dollar Round combines the spirit of amateur competition with the thrill of high-stakes match play, offering an unparalleled experience in a fast-paced, knockout format.
Bringing Professional-Level Thrills to Amateurs:
What sets The People’s Tournament apart is its unique bracketing system, where players are automatically matched with opponents through proprietary software. This allows any non-professional in the world to compete for the million dollar prize. Competitors meet on agreed-upon courses within a 21-day window to battle for victory. As the competition progresses, the top four players will be flown—alongside a companion—on an all-expenses-paid trip to the final rounds at a premier golf resort.
For the finalists, the rewards go beyond trophies and recognition. Each will receive a life-changing prize, with the tournament culminating in a gala dinner and prize presentation.
A Tournament for All Golfers:
This tournament series isn’t just for seasoned players—it’s for anyone who loves golf and wants to test their skills on a grand stage. From seasoned amateurs to those new to competitive play, The Million Dollar Round offers a chance for players of all backgrounds to experience the intensity of high-level competition—and potentially take home a game-changing prize.
