NEWS RELEASE
RBC PGA SCRAMBLE
*************************
On Monday, June 14, Innisfil area golfers will have the opportunity to participate in a local qualifier of the RBC PGA Scramble hosted at The Nest Golf Club. Local golfers will also have the opportunity to participate in two more qualifying events this summer at The Nest on June 28 and Innisfil Creek Golf Club on July 13.
The RBC PGA Scramble is a national series of events, with the winners of each local qualifier being invited to participate in one of eleven Regional Finals later this summer. From there, each Regional Final winner will be awarded the chance to participate and win a National Championship at the prestigious Cabot Links Golf Course in Nova Scotia in the fall.*
The competition is open to teams of four eligible amateur golfers who all have an up-to-date Golf Canada handicap and are 19 years of age and older.
In 2020, RBC PGA Scramble saw a 73 per cent increase in female participation, a number the program hopes to improve this season. There will be a spot in each regional final reserved for an all-female team.
To register or see a full list of local qualifiers in your area, golfers can visit https://rbcpgascramble.com/local-qualifiers/. Registration closes one week prior to each event. The two qualifiers at The Nest Golf Club will have a maximum of 36 teams.
COVID-19 protocols will be in place at each qualifier in accordance with provincial health authority guidelines. For more information, visit: https://rbcpgascramble.com/covid-19-best-practices/
