As the excitement has been building for the coming 10th Annual Tournament of Champions, so too has the level of participation by the international field of competitors as all of the available slots open to the public have been filled.
According to TOC chairman Rodney Klinge, the Organizing Committee of the 2005 Tournament of Champions regrets to inform everyone that registration is now closed to “paid” players, but some lucky duffers will have the opportunity to hit the links in what many consider to be the region’s premiere event.
“The committee is holding open “sponsor slots” for those sponsors who have free exempt slots given to them in association with their sponsor package. If a player would like to “pay” they will be put on a wait list, First Come First Served,” he said.
Klinge added that the committee will notify players on the wait list if and when a slot becomes available, and has already begun to contact tournament sponsors with unfilled slots in an effort to have them either fill the vacant slots or release them back to the tournament committee.
“Any slots returned to the tournament committee will become available to the wait list,” he said.
The clock is ticking, as all registration, paid or sponsor exempt, will be closed by the close of business this Wednesday, Aug. 3, and the organizers will be unable to allow any walk-on registrations at the courses during the golfing spectacular under any circumstances.
