 
 The economics of professional golf are very harsh. Almost every player without major tour status will need to be subsidized to continue chasing the dream!! So you want to make a career playing golf, but you don't know where to start. IGTGolf Mini Tour is designed to help aspiring golfers, like yourself, start playing professional golf. Everyone has to start somewhere, and very few of us can go right to the PGA Tour or the LPGA Tour. Most golfers start in the mini tours. You now can play tournament golf from March through to September on the IGTGolf Race to Q-School to prepare yourself for Tour School. The winner will receive his entry fee paid for tour school. All Race to Q-School events will also carry prize money or vouchers for amateurs. Register for 2010 IGT Race to Q-School Click here Schedule (54 hole events)

The final event over 72 holes will carry double points. The top 5 and tied on the Race to Q-School points system will win. Points Table
