Membership Info
Recognized as the #1 Men's Developmental Tour in the United States for preparing for life on the PGA or Web.com Tours. The NGA Pro Golf Tour has proven year after year to be the most outstanding avenue for players to display and develop their skills in an extremely competitive atmosphere. With over 54 PGA Tour Q Schools Reimbursed and Twelve (12) Web.com Tour Event Exemptions received over the past two years (more than any other developmental tour in the United States) it's no doubt the best golfers in the world continue to flock to the NGA. With Naturally Fresh Foods, Anheuser-Busch, and Bridgestone sponsorship, to name a few, we provide not only a competitive place to play, but a financially rewarding opportunity as well. The NGA Pro Golf Tour once again paid out over $1 Million more in prize and purse money in 2013 than any other developmental tour in the Untied States. The 2013 season will be the best to date with 110% of member entry fees being paid out over 18 Pro Series events (12 with 162 player max fields competing for their share of the $150,000 GUARANTEED Purses and 6 with 168 player max fields competing for their share of the $200,000 GUARANTEED purses). In addition, the NGA will once again be kicking the season off with it's extremely popular Members Only Shootout where the winner will receive Paid Entry Fees for all 18 Pro Series events. The season will conclude with the popular Q School Prep Series (3 events) held at the actual host courses used by the PGA Tour for Q School.
The NGA Pro Golf Tour is the only Tour in the country, besides the PGA and Web.com Tours, to play for GUARANTEED WEEKLY PURSES and a minimum 100% PLUS of entry fees on a weekly basis and to offer a full week of activities that include 72-hole (36-hole cut) tournaments, free practice rounds, free Pepsi sponsored beverages and snacks each week, free Bridgestone range balls, paid participant pro-ams (at selected events), junior clinics, long drive contests and shootouts. The NGA Pro Golf Tour provides players the opportunity to experience all aspects of life as a true touring golf professional. The schedule is structured around geographical series and different varieties of championship golf courses.
For the 2013 season, the NGA Pro Golf Tour will once again conduct Ranking Schools in order to establish players ranking order. Any player signing up for the 2013 Ranking Schools automatically becomes a member of the NGA Pro Golf Tour and will be given a “ranking number” based on their performance at the Ranking School. Past COLLEGE Golfers or golfers who have had success on the Web.com, PGA, or one of the more regionalized mini-tours may request special exempt status and, if exempt status is granted, will Not need to attend ranking school. Players may request exempt status by emailing a short resume to the player administrator at joy@ngatour.com
Similar to the Web.com Tour, the NGA Pro Golf Tour will re-shuffle conditional players during the 2013 season based on earnings. Non-exempt members will be re-shuffled based on earnings after each series.
The NGA Pro Golf Tour prides itself on running only professional 72-hole events with a knowledgeable staff who are PGA and USGA certified Tournament Officials. As evidenced by the success of our Alumni, The NGA Pro Golf Tour is a proven avenue to the PGA and Web.com Tours. To Quote 2007 Masters Champion Zach Johnson, “The NGA Tour prepares you for life on the Web.com and PGA Tours. The level of competition is 2nd to none.”
