To register, participants should log on to www.pga.com and provide their name, address, phone number (with area code), and email address. Participants will then pick the players whom they believe will win each Tournament. Participants will also select two alternate players, in favorite order, for each tournament in the event that their first choice player either does not or can not play, in that particular Tournament. Participants must submit their predicted winners and alternate players for each Tournament before the following selection deadline listed for that Tournament ("Selection Deadline") in the chart below:
