Greenville, S.C. Ticket sales for the 2021 BMW Charity Pro-Am Presented by SYNNEX Corporation open to the public today at BMWCharityGolf.com. This year’s tournament will return to Thornblade Club and The Cliffs Valley, June 10-13, celebrating the 20th year of play after the cancellation of last year’s anniversary tournament due to COVID-19.
In partnership with the PGA TOUR, South Carolina Department of Commerce and DHEC, South Carolina Charities, Inc. (SCCI) has been diligently preparing modified event plans to ensure safe execution of tournament play and tournament week events. Spectators will be welcomed back in limited capacity to both Thornblade Club and The Cliffs Valley. In accordance with state and federal COVID-19 guidelines, as well as the PGA TOUR, this year’s tournament will have testing, screening and cleaning protocols in place, in addition to monitored social distancing and mask requirements on property.
“While this year’s tournament will look different, we are ready to bring professional golf back to the Upstate with a limited number of spectators,” said Bob Nitto, president of South Carolina Charities, Inc. “We will continuously work with our local officials and partners at the PGA TOUR to ensure we are taking appropriate precautions to create a safe and responsibly-executed event. Our beneficiary groups have been on the frontlines of this pandemic, and we look forward to make a significant impact on each of the organizations that benefit from our tournament.”
Due to the newly instated capacity restrictions and COVID-19 protocols, all tickets must be purchased prior to attending this year’s tournament. Tickets are available for digital purchase with contactless delivery. Cash and walk-up purchases will not be accepted.
