3 Lucky Canadian Players will play for free in 2025!

We are thrilled to share that Canadian golf personality Mark Zecchino is going to be a major part of this year’s Myrtle Beach World Amateur’s 19th Hole as one of our emcees! Mark is the Host and Producer of Golf Talk Canada TV & Radio, as well as Live Play By Play announcer for PGA TOUR Radio on SXM and PGATOUR.com.

As a part of the World Am’s and Mark’s ultimate goal to bring more Canadians to the World Am each August, we will be holding a random drawing at the 19th Hole in 2024 where 3 lucky Canadian World Am players will win a free entry back to the World Am in 2025! 

How are you eligible to win? It’s easy! As long as you are a registered Canadian player in the 2024 World Am, you will automatically be entered into this random drawing!

The World Am wants nothing more than to grow the international participation at the event every August, and we feel that getting our Canadian numbers back to what they used to be will be a major step in that process!

Not yet registered for the 2024 tournament? You still have time! Register online today and give our tournament staff a call if you need assistance at 1-800-833-8798.
