There is a two week registration window for international players, starting from 20 April 2015. Advise signing up as soon as possible because these events are expected to fill very quickly once registration for USA players begins in early May.

In order to register players must be on the Invitation lists as found here:

You can also find the invitation packages and event information here:

Also, all players MUST be a 2015 current PDGA member as well as a certified official through the last date of the event in order to be able to register.

Note – a player who is hoping to attend but who is not sure they will be able to should sign up now and then withdraw before the deadline in order to receive a refund of their entry fee. That way their place in the event will be secure.
