O
ne of the best ways you can kick off your Super Bowl weekend in
2017 is by competing in the Indian Wells Pro-Am Invitational on
Friday and Saturday, February 4-5. The event returns for its third
year in a row at Indian Wells Golf Resort and will feature golf professionals
battling it out for a $10,000 purse, while amateurs compete for big-time
prizes and bragging rights. The event features a reception and mixer on Fri-
day evening followed by the tournament on the Players Course and dinner
on Saturday. The Super Bowl kicks off on Sunday afternoon, which means
you can cap off an eventful weekend by watching the big game.
Here are four reasons why you should play in this year's tournament:
SUPER WEEKEND
4 reasons why you should tee it up in the Indian Wells Pro-Am
1) The competition
Unless you're participating in the
CareerBuilder Challenge (formerly
the Bob Hope Classic), there aren't
many events in the Coachella Valley
where amateurs can compete
alongside professional golfers like
you can in the Indian Wells Pro Am.
It's a unique format and experience.
3) The Players Course
Contestants will compete on the
John Fought-designed Players
Course, which is in prime condition
following fall overseed and a reno-
vation of its cart paths and bunkers.
It was also recently ranked No. 16
by Golf Digest among its best
courses you can play in California.
2) The purse and prizes
As much as $10,000 will be up for
grabs for professional golfers, and
amateurs will have the chance to
compete for awards and prizes from
event sponsors, including stay-
and-play packages at some of the
nation's top golf resorts. In 2016,
the winning pro took home $3,000.
4) The extras
From the evening reception and
mixer to kick off the Pro-Am on
Friday, Feb. 3, to the awards recep-
tion and dinner at the completion
of play on Saturday, Feb. 4, partici-
pants will be treated to live music,
great golf, savory meals, and a trip
to the Titleist-FootJoy gift shop.
