The 10th Annual TaylorMade-adidas Ashworth Iowa PGA Las Vegas Pro-Am was held February 20-22 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Three rounds were contested at three different golf courses; Desert Pines Golf Club, Dragon Ridge Country Club, and Revere Golf Club.
The format for the event was a quota system which adjusts following each round based on each player’s score. The overall team winner is the team that accumulates the most points above their total quota. If no team exceeds their quota, then the winners will be the team that is closest to achieving their overall quota. Each team was comprised of an Iowa PGA Section Professional and four amateurs.
The Iowa PGA would like to thank Tod Puetz and Mike Long of TaylorMade-adidas Ashworth for their continued sponsorship of this tournament. These gentlemen provided a new TaylorMade RocketBallz Driver to each player on the top three teams. They will also provide nice tee gifts for each participant.
Returning to the event were the defending champions comprised of PGA Member, Darin Justice, and amateurs, Bob Brooks, Steve Hermann, Jeff Scharingson, and Kurt Wickiser. In last year’s event, these gentlemen won the tournament by a total of 16.375 points. Click HERE for last year’s results.
