The TGA recently launched the “TGA Fall Series,” a slate of new competitive tournaments for men and women. The TGA will conduct two new events in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, one in the Houston area and one in the Hill Country.
The first Fall Series event for DFW was held Oct. 12-14 at Brookhaven Country Club. The Fall Series event for Houston was played Oct. 20-22 at The Clubs of Kingwood.
Here’s a quick look at the other two new events to come:

Registration is now open for all the TGA Fall Series events. To register, click here.
The Fall Series was established in part to help fill the void left in many college-aged golfers’ schedules, which have been drastically altered because of ongoing COVID-19 concerns. With the majority of fall golf schedules canceled around the country, the TGA Fall Series will provide opportunities for collegians, as well as other amateurs, to play in competitive events during the hiatus.
The format for all the Fall Series events is 54 holes of individual stroke play. The fields are comprised of 88 total players, including 60 men and 28 women. Although the events are open to all golfers that fit the eligibility criteria, two-thirds of each gender division will be reserved for college-aged golfers.
The men will play from approximately 6,800-7,000 yards. The women will play from 6,000-6,200 yards.
The TGA Fall Series takes place from mid-October to mid-November, with only one event taking place per week. Each event will be played during the week.
To be eligible for the TGA Fall Series events, golfers must be members of a TGA Member Club with an established active World Handicap System Index. The men must have an established WHS Index of 6.4 or lower to register. Women must have an established WHS Index of 12.4 or lower.
The cost for each event is $175, which includes all course fees, practice facility access and cart fee. Competitors will be responsible for scheduling and paying for their own practice rounds. There is not an official practice round date.
