About The Minor League Golf Tour

The goal of the Minor League Golf Tour is to provide an affordable training ground for aspiring players to hone their game. The economics of professional golf are harsh. Almost every player without major tour status will need to be subsidized to continue chasing the dream.

The high cost mini tours need many big money donators to raise the cash for their lottery like 1st place checks. The top players that have devoted years to professional golf and are playing near 100% of their potential play the high cost tours. These “top mini tour players” are capable of competing at the Nationwide and PGA Tour levels.

The competition on the Minor League Golf Tour is strong. 30 player who have competed on our tour qualified for the second stage of the 2007 PGA Tour Qualifying School (21 made it to the second stage in 2006). Two players who won on the MLGT in 2006 are now 2008 PGA Tour rookies and seven players 2008 Nationwide Tour status.

About the International Players Tour

The International Players Tour, operated by prior management of the Champions Golf Tour (CGT), was launched in January 2008 for the purpose of bringing PGA style competition to avid golfers everywhere. Operations began in April 2002 under the banner of the Champions Golf Tour, which was founded by Ron Beaman in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Ron developed a business model that would provide avid recreational golfers a chance to play in an environment similar to major tour events – “inside the ropes” for significant prize money – utilizing a proprietary handicap system. After conducting its first event in June, 2002, CGT followed with 17 tournaments in 2002 and awarded nearly $60,000 in prize money. Significant and sustained growth has occurred in subsequent years in player participation, number of events, and prize money. With over 1200 players in their system, IPT management conducted over 150 events in 2007 within ten state and twelve metropolitan city areas with payouts exceeding $570,000. In 2008, the IPT will conduct 200+ events in fifteen different metro areas, culminating in the Tour Championship at the Horseshoe Bay Marriott Resort in Texas, with the winner taking home $20,000 in GUARANTEED first place prize money. “The Model that Works” is now being adopted effectively and implemented successfully in multiple cities, with projected expansion into 5-10 new markets each year – including international locations - through a unique licensing rights program.
