Welcome to the 79th Dixie Amateur!

Thank you for your interest in playing in the 79th Dixie Amateur. The Dixie Amateur field features the world’s finest amateur golfers.

Last year’s tournament, the first at Heron Bay, was a tremendous success. The Dixie Amateur moved from the 76th ranked World Amateur to 36th according to Scratch Player Rankings and from 182nd to 58th according to the R&A rankings. The 79th Dixie Amateur promises an even more impressive field.

All three tournaments will have a maximum field of 174 participants. The three events (Senior, Men, and Women/Senior Women) are scheduled on different dates, please make sure you accurately note which days your event is on. We are thrilled to announce that the 79th Dixie Amateur will see the addition of the Senior Women's Dixie Amateur to be played alongside the Women’s participants!

Due to the extremely strong fields during the Dixie Amateur's debut at Heron Bay Golf Club each division's Scratch Player and Golfweek awards points have been increased for National Rankings. The course played to rave reviews in all three events and that combined with the great amenities of the Coral Springs Marriott made for an extremely positive response from the players and their guests.

Defending Senior Champion Rick Wolfe (5) and Women's Champion Candace Schepperle have verbally committed to returning. Both runner up Vaughn Snyder and Men's Champion Gavin Scott are expected to turn pro in 2009.

We hope you have the chance to join the likes of Angela Park, Hal Sutton, Lanny Watkins, Jesper Parnevic, Ryuji Imada and the many PGA and LPGA legends who are Dixie Amateur Champions. But even if you don't win you will still be in the wonderful company of Tiger Woods (2 events, no championships).

I look forward to seeing you at the 79^th Dixie Amateur.
