The team consists of six NTPGA Assistant Professionals (A-8 only) and six NTPGA Senior Members (any classification) competing against a Southern Texas PGA team comprised of the same classifications.
Last year, Team STPGA captured the fourth playing of the Matches with a 12.5-11.5 victory. Team NTPGA is looking to bounce back next month to capture the Matches for the second time.
The event features professionals from each Section competing in Four-Ball and Foursome Matches the first day followed by Singles Matches the final day. The 2021 Matches are presented by Club Car, Criquet, Dunning and Ping.
