Cash Equivalent to Paid Trip

Winning isn?t everything in the Carl Spackler Open Championship, but the Tournament Purse surely represents a reason to compete. Besides receiving the coveted Championship Trophy and the beloved Golden Jacket, the tournament champion receives a hefty payday. Starting with the Inaugural tournament, the Captain?s Club wanted to present the winner of the most prestigious amateur golf event with an abundance of appreciation, and to recognize their ability to battle the odds, to rise above the field, and to claim their spot in history. The annual goal of the Captain?s Club is to provide a tournament purse that, at a minimum, will cover a field participant?s costs for playing in the tournament. The Captain?s Club is dedicated to Carl, the tournament, and its participants, and will strive to continuously provide an improved outing that will exceed both its field's, and its sponsors', expectations. The Captains Club has plans to raise the tournament purse each year, ensuring that the major will remain to be one of the premier events in the nation. Additionally, the Captain's Club will explore opportunities for extending its vendor relationships beyond the upcoming year. The Carl Spackler Open is proud of its long and rewarding relationships with its players, and with its vendors. The Captains Club remains committed to these partnerships, so that this major championship will continue to grow and prosper.
