There will be 56 in each division. This is the first time in the 13-year history of the Regions Cup series that a tournament will have as many seniors as regular golfers.
Openings remain in both divisions.
The Golf Capital, one of the most popular events each year, may need the extra seniors simply to fill its 112-player field. There are only so many tournament golfers under age 50 in the area, and there are a lot of tournaments that weekend. The Golf Capital, annually held the third weekend of May, has been sandwiched between a Georgia State Golf Association event, a South Carolina Golf Association event and a South Carolina PGA event. Among the top local golfers in the field for golfers age 25-over are Mitch Marchman, Jay Blackburn and Richard Maddox. Ironically, that is the same site as the Golf Capital, meaning the Ellis Maples-designed course will play host to four straight days of tournament play.
