Welcome

Planning a golf tournament can be a daunting prospect . But with experienced help from Golf Tournaments Incorporated, your next tournament can be both a huge success and a cost-effective event.

At GTI we know how to meet your specific needs. We can take on as much or as little of the event planning process and day of implementation as you require.

Worried about the cost of hiring a professional planner? No need. When you consider the wholesale rates you will pay for golfer gifts or prizes, the discounts we can help negotiate at the golf course, the money you will save by having your staff focus on other projects, and the special cost-cutting strategies GTI brings to your tournament, you’ll find our fees are minimal.
