Who's Eligible to Play?

The field of 156 will be limited to those PGA members who are eligibly employed as golf professionals and in certain pre-established membership classifications as of May 2005. The PGA of America reserves the right to determine whether or not any applicant is so employed and to reject any applicant who does not meet the requirements. No player will be eligible if he or she has played in more than 12 combined PGA Tour, Senior PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour (previously BUY.COM Tour), LPGA, PGA European Tour, Canadian Tour, Australia/New Zealand Tour, JPGA Tour, The Sunshine Tour (South Africa), The Asian Tour, The Safari Tour, The PGA Challenge Tour, National Senior Tour, European Seniors Tour, JPGA Senior Tour, WPGT, JLPGA, Golden Bear Tour, Hooter's Tour, and SBC Futures Tour events between April 2004 and April 2005. (The U.S. Open, U.S. Senior Open, PGA Championship and Senior PGA Championship are not included in the 12-tournament count). Beginning in 2004, the reigning TaylorMade-adidas Golf PGA Assistant Professional Champion will be exempt into the national CPC field, provided that he or she is eligibly employed or in an eligible PGA classification at the time of entry into the CPC.
