Prize money — how it works

Competing on the pro leaderboard

USGA amateurism compliant
1
You compete in the pro position of your team — on the same leaderboard as the professionals in the field. Separate from the amateur team competition.
2
You are eligible to win up to $1,000 in prize money in full accordance with USGA amateurism policy.
3
If your finish earns above $1,000, the excess is forfeited. That amount goes directly into the Atlantic Pathway Program — and you earn a formal invitation to the Program.
The Atlantic Pathway Program

What the Program does

invitation only
The Program is Atlantic Golf's commitment to competitive players beyond the events themselves.
It is funded through a portion of event entry revenues and by prize money forfeited by amateur competitors to protect their status — money that goes directly back into player careers.
The Program is designed to remove the financial barriers between talented players and the next step — funding entries to Q schools, qualifiers, and elite amateur events.
You don't apply. You earn an invitation through performance at Atlantic events.
