The BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation is the Web.Com Tour’s version of the AT&T Pro Am. Web.Com Tour professionals are teamed with amateurs and celebrities for a four-day, better-ball competition played on three courses: the Thornblade Club, The Reserve at Lake Keowee and The Preserve at Verdae.
The 10 lowest scoring pro-amateur teams, six lowest scoring pro-celebrity teams and the lowest 65 pros (and ties) advance to Sunday’s final round. Celebrities play once at each course on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The Professional winner of the overall 72-hole event will take home $121,500 from the total purse of $675,000.
The pro-am format began in 2001. Initially, it was played at The Cliffs in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, using the Valley and Keowee Vineyards courses. The Walnut Cove course was added in 2005. In 2008, the tournament shifted to three different courses: Thornblade Club, Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg, South Carolina and Bright’s Creek Golf Club in Mill Spring, North Carolina. In 2012, the Greenville Country Club (Chanticleer course) replaced Bright’s Creek. The current courses have been played since 2013.
