About the tournament
The Board of Directors of Bayou DeSiard CC has decided to cancel the 2025 W. E. Cole Cotton States Amateur and for the foreseeable future
Originally played in 1949 as the Bayou DeSiard Labor Day Golf Tournament, the tournament's name was changed to the Cotton States Invitational in 1951 by the club's young head professional, W. E. "Winnie" Cole. He felt that the name better reflected the main states that the tournament's players originated from (and a move to mid-summer made the name a necessity later anyway). Little did Cole know that 27 years later, in 1978, the event would be renamed again, forever to be known as the W. E. Cole Cotton States Invitational Golf Tournament.
Past champions of this highly competitive, yet festive tournament include Don January and Hal Sutton. Gil Morgan, David Toms and many other PGA Tour players have also competed. The tournament field field is limited to 96 amateur participants having a verified USGA Handicap Index not exceeding 0.0. Long a match play event, the format was changed in 2021 to 72 holes of stroke play.

As an Elite Amateur Golf Series event with deep historical prestige, the North & South delivers a unique format test: two strokes-gained qualifying rounds followed by a five-match gauntlet on one of amateur golf's most demanding stages. Seeds 20–32 routinely upset top qualifiers, rewarding patient scrambling and mental toughness over pure ball-striking.
