Links at Whitmore Lake awarded 2006 Match Play Championship
The Tour finalized a deal with the Links at Whitmore Lake to begin hosting the Match Play Championship starting in 2006. The Links course will hold the first round on Friday, August 4th, and the 2nd round on Saturday, August 5th. The semi-finals and final will be held on the following weekend. The matches are scheduled to begin each day at 3:30 pm.
The switch to Whitmore Lake also allowed a reduction to the entry fee. As high as $140 when the event was played at Inkster Valley or the Woodlands, the expected entry fee for the Match Play at Whitmore Lake is $100. As before, players dispatched after the first or 2nd round will get refunds – $75 (1st round loss) or $50 (2nd round loss).
