August 12, 2009, Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Cutter & Buck, one of the nation’s leading sportswear manufacturers, will be the official apparel provider of the 26th annual PGA TOUR Superstore World Amateur Handicap Championship in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The World Am, which will be held August 31 through September 4, is the world’s largest single-site amateur golf tournament, attracting golfers from 45 states and more than 20 foreign countries.
Cutter & Buck is providing all 3,000+ World Am participants, the tournament staff and volunteers with one of the industry’s best golf shirts.
“We are delighted to partner with Cutter & Buck to provide World Amateur players with a golf shirt,” tournament director Dave Macpherson said. “Cutter & Buck is the leading brand in golf apparel, and the ideal partner for the world’s most inclusive amateur golf tournament.”
A 72-hole stroke play tournament, the World Amateur attracts golfers of all skill levels, grouping them in tightly bunched flights based on handicap and age (there are six different divisions). Players play under PGA Tour-like conditions, though carts are allowed, competing to win their flight and a spot in the World Championship Playoff at the famed Dunes Golf & Beach Club.
At night, players gather at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, better known as the World Largest 19th Hole. All tournament participants and a guest can attend the 19th Hole where free food from some of Myrtle Beach’s best restaurants, free drinks and live entertainment are provided.
The 19th Hole is also home to a golf expo, demo areas, instructional clinics from some of the game’s leading teachers and more.
