I was just curious if anyone had an idea of what the cost if for an amateur to play in the AT&T Pro Am, or even the Hope? I am sure that it must be pricey, and I would bet that even if you had the cash it would be difficult to get into the event, since so many of the spots are taken by celebrities, athletes, corporate exec's, etc.
watching the amateur's playing not enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's $15,000 to play in the AT&T Pro-Am, but that's the easy part. Getting on the list is much, much tougher.

I believe they comp some of the guys in retain for appearances during the week at different tournament functions. I also read they tried to comp Bill Murray, but he always pays.

A friend of mine played in the Bob Hope and has done for the last 4 years.
He is a member of the third course they are playing this week and lives between California and Florida.
I asked him why he did not play the ATT and he told me that you cannot get a spot.
ATT give them to the celebs and then their major clients come next.

They have other pro-am's going on at the same time there ... if you're a pretty big AT&T client, but not big enough, you play at Poppy Hills or something like that.

What does it cost to play in the Hope? I think I would rather play the hope to be honest with you.
