PITTSFORD, NY – The members of Monroe Golf Club are pleased to announce that the 80th edition of The Monroe Invitational will be held July 5-10, 2021. The event is one of the longest running amateur tournaments and perennially draws together a field of top amateur players from around the world for a week of competition in beautiful upstate New York.
“The Tournament Committee felt that the move to July would allow us to draw the strongest possible field and showcase our golf course at the time when it is at its best condition for competition, firm and fast,” said Tournament Director Mason Grower.
The Official Schedule of Events for the 2021 Monroe Invitational will be as follows:
- First Round: Wednesday, July 7
- Second Round: Thursday, July 8
- Third Round: Friday, July 9 (54 Hole Cut to Low 42 and Ties)
- Final Round: Saturday, July 10
Many current PGA Tour players have played in The Monroe as amateurs, including a young Tiger Woods before he entered college. Past champions of the event include Dustin Johnson (2007), Thomas Pieters (2012) and most recently Andy Ogletree (2019), who went on a few weeks later to become U.S. Amateur Champion at Pinehurst. The reigning U.S. Amateur Champion, Tyler Strafaci, is a multiple time participant as well.
“The Monroe Invitational has a great tradition of hosting the best amateurs in the country, and seeing players like Andy and Tyler succeed at the highest level continues to show how our event contributes to their development as players,” said Joe Merlin, Monroe’s PGA Head Professional.
Earlier this year, the Monroe Invitational tournament committee and the Rochester District Golf Association announced a working partnership to collaborate in the promotion, staging and operation of the annual Monroe Invitational. Both organizations look forward to planning for the 2021 championship in the months to come.
