“We’ve discussed organizing a winter series around the Grand Strand area for the past few years,” said NGA/Hooters Tour President Robin L. Waters. “With our playing fields almost doubling this season in our Carolinas series we felt the time was right to expand. What better place to organize another credible and competitive series than in an area with hundreds of great golf courses and even more aspiring professional golfers.”
 
The Hooters Carolina Winter Series will be patterned along the same lines as the highly successful Bridgestone Central Florida Winter Series which features 132 player fields, 54-hole events with a 36-hole cut and averaging $85,000 purses.
 
The Hooters Carolina Winter Series schedule will feature 12 events beginning in November and running through February (Final schedule to be released end of July).
