We have sad news to report regarding Major III scheduled on the Copperhead course at Innisbrook Resort September 13-15. The PGA Tour just released their 2027 schedule and the Valspar Championship played on the Copperhead course at Innisbrook has moved from it's original date in March to May. Because of this change the PGA Tour just informed Innisbrook yesterday that they will be doing some major tee work starting on September 9th which will severely affect the playability of our event that was scheduled for Sep 13-15. Even though we have a contract for our event the PGA Tour contract trumps ours. The Copperhead course will still be open during the days of Sep 13-15 but will have construction going on and a number of temporary tees so the MLGT has determined it will not be fit to host our 3rd Major of the year. The entire professional staff at Innisbrook couldn't be more apologetic. This was just sprung on them yesterday by the PGA Tour and their hands are tied.
The good news is PGA National Champ course has made room for us to conduct our 3rd Major on Wed-Thurs September 16-17. The field will be capped at 63 players. We are keeping the entry fee the same ($860) so we can still have the $10k first place prize if we fill the field with 63 players (which is very likely). This is what the purse will be if we get 63 players. Our sponsor Arise is still adding $1k to the purse.
If you would like to play in Major III which will now be contested at PGA National Champ course W-Th Sep 16-17 please call or text MLGT Tournament Director Scott Turner at 561-598-9630. If you are unable to play with the change please let Scott know and you will receive a 100% refund back to the same way you paid.
We are very sorry for this change and tried hard to work around the PGA Tour's decision but no option was possible at Innisbrook. We are very thankful to PGA National for agreeing to host this event on such short notice and provide a PGA Tour venue for this event.
Thank you for your understanding.
