Congratulations to Bubba Watson, former Emerald Coast Tour Player, for winning the Farmers Insurance Open

Nick Rousey Wins Dancing Rabbit

The real objective of a competitive golf player should be to quality and perform well as part of an entertainment show for golf. To get there, players need low-cost tournament competitions, close to home, on championship golf courses. Prize awards should attract a few more accomplished tour golf players, to set the bar for less experienced players. True golfing athletes and competitors want to play their best, against the best. At EC pro golf tour, our objective is to expand the competition-based developmental tour golf program, making it accessible in terms of cost and logistics, to the most golf players.
