Accepted entrants without an exempt spot in the final tournament field can choose to qualify at any one of 18 local qualifying sites. (See Q-schedule below.)
The Southern Am was last staged at The Honors Course in 2004, won by Australian Michael Sim. Reigning champion is Oklahoma State freshman Zach Olsen, who won at Houston’s Carlton Woods Club, thus earning the champion’s automatic invitation to play in the PGA Tour Arnold Palmer Invitation this week at Bay Hill Club, Orlando.
