The Hooters Tour has proven year after year to be the most outstanding avenue for players to display and develop their skills in an extremely competitive atmosphere. With Naturally Fresh Foods, Hooters Restaurants, Anheuser-Busch, Bridgestone, and Pepsi sponsorship, to name a few, the tour provides not only a competitive place to play, but a financially rewarding opportunity.

Starting in 1995 and continuing through today, Hooters' involvement has taken this tour to a plateau where it is no longer viewed as simply a training ground for the PGA Tour. With an anticipated total payout in 2010 of close to $5 million dollars, the Hooters Tour under its sanctioning body, the National Golf Association, continues to grow and be recognized as one of the top professional tours in the world. Along with local television coverage, tournament scores appear regularly in major newspapers across the country. Many of golf's prominent publications, such as GolfWeek continue to increase the coverage of the tour.

The Hooters Tour, which puts a greater emphasis on strong community support, well-organized events and benefiting a local charity, has helped more professionals acquire their PGA, Senior PGA, and Nationwide Tour cards than any other developmental tour. With alumni such as 2009 British Open Champion Stewart Cink, 2007 Masters champion Zach Johnson, Ben Curtis, Shaun Micheel, Vaughn Taylor, Mark Wilson, Lee Janzen, John Daly, Jim Furyk, Tom Lehman, David Toms, Will MacKenzie, Chad Campbell and Champion's Tour players Tom McKnight and Walter Hall, the Hooters Tour has a track record of success. With professionalism a focal point of this Tour, the golf community and corporate America continues to be attracted to the high visibility and unique exposure opportunities presented by the NGA/Hooters Professional Golf Tour.

Like the PGA and Nationwide Tours, the Hooters Tour offers a full week of activities that include 72-hole (36-hole cut) tournaments, free practice rounds, free Pepsi sponsored beverages and snacks each week, free Bridgestone range balls, paid participant pro-ams, junior clinics, long drive contests and shootouts. The schedule is structured around geographical series and different varieties of championship golf courses.

The Hooters Tour has helped more players acquire PGA Tour, Champions Tour, and Nationwide Tour cards than any other developmental tour. It provides players the opportunity to experience all aspects of life as a true touring golf professional.
