GARDNER HEIDRICK PRO-AM |

The Gardner Heidrick Pro-Am is the largest fundraiser for the Evans Scholars Foundation, with almost $1 million being raised from the day each year. The Western Golf Association is proud to dedicate the Pro-Am in the honor of Gardner Heidrick, for his outstanding commitment to the Evans Scholars Foundation.

Evans Scholar Caddies

During this year’s Pro-Am, Evans Scholars will get the unique opportunity to caddie for the professionals. This tradition began in 1974 when Evans Scholars caddied for the TOUR Professionals playing in the Western Open, Thursday - Sunday. That tradition was put on hold in 1986 and was revived in a limited fashion in 1997 when current Evans Scholar students caddied for the PGA TOUR Professionals during the Wednesday Pro-Am. We are proud to hold this tradition up during tournament week this year.

PRO-AM FORMAT

This year’s pro-am format is a 9 and 9 with 4 amateurs in the group. Our title sponsor, BMW, will have 13 groups, with 3 amateurs in each group. The remaining groups are Western Golf Association partners and corporate hospitality buyers, many whom have participated in the pro-am since 2007.

Tee Times

The first nine hole tee times will run from 8:00 a.m. – 10:12 a.m., with the second nine hole tee times running from 10:25 a.m. - 12:42 p.m. You will receive your pro-am tee time at registration and the amateurs will receive theirs on Tuesday night at the ProAm Reveal Party.

Photos

Pictures with both professionals will be taken after the Pro-Am groups finish their first nine holes, and you will be asked to autograph the photos for the amateurs.
