ABOUT THE Minnesota Players Championship
After the MGA Amateur changed from a match
play to stroke play format in 1967, the MGA
was without a match-play championship. That
changed when the Players' Championship was
created and first hosted in 1979 at Interlachen
Country Club, Edina. The MGA annually invites
the state's top 17 amateurs to participate
along with 47 qualifiers from a field of over
300. Only 64 golfers compete during three
days of match-play competition. The strong
field always provides for an exciting
tournament.
