30th Amateur Stroke Play (Aug 15-16, 2026)
Thirty playings in, the Amateur Stroke Play returns to a course that already knows its history — PGA National welcomes the championship back this August.
On August 15–16, 2026, the 30th Amateur Stroke Play Championship comes to PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, with 36 holes of competition split across two signature layouts: The Fazio and The Palmer. It isn't the PBCGA's oldest championship, but three decades of champions have built it into one of the purest tests on the calendar — no teammates, no scrambles, just a scorecard and two rounds to settle it.
Two Courses, One Championship
The Fazio
A reinvention of PGA National's original Haig layout, The Fazio blends classic strategy with modern demands — rewarding golfers who can shape shots and control distance into reshaped, well-defended greens.
The Palmer
Named for its designer, Arnold Palmer, this risk/reward layout invites bold play from the tee while punishing anything loose into the green. A fitting closing test for a 36-hole championship.
A Championship With a Track Record
PGA National isn't new to this event. The resort has hosted the Amateur Stroke Play six times before — in 1999, 2000, 2003, 2004, and as recently as 2019 — including three playings on the course now reborn as The Fazio. The 30th edition marks the championship's seventh visit to the property.
The champions' roll dates back to Pleasant Hughes in 1997 and includes 16th-edition winner Eoghan O'Connell, who also carries Walker Cup pedigree for Great Britain-Ireland — a reminder of the caliber of player this championship has produced for three decades.
What's on the Line
Every stroke at PGA National counts toward the season-long Player of the Year race across all three divisions. With the season entering its stretch run, the 30th Amateur Stroke Play is a high-value stop for anyone still chasing points.
Thirty years of history. Two championship courses. One weekend to add your name to it.
