Over the years, there have been a lot of great players using mini tours (like the Minor League Golf Tour) to help their careers. Scott Yancy III is a great example of a player using these mini tours to their advantage.
You might remember Scott from the Golf Channel’s Big Break II Las Vegas. He plays in MLGT events to keep his game sharp and help him with bigger events like qualifying for the Illinois Open this July. Scott recently signed on with Basic Golf to help promote our line of moisture wicking golf shirts.
