When spring weather brings longer days and warmer
temperatures, many folks dust off their golf clubs and get back into the swing
of playing golf again. For those who prefer to watch golf, it doesn’t hurt that
The Heritage golf tournament rolls through the Lowcountry in April, on the
heels the pageantry found only at Augusta National. Fans of professional golf
in S.C. also get a glimpse of future PGA golf pros when the Web.com Tour comes
to the upstate in May, bringing a unique mix of professional and amateur
golfers together.

The BMW
Pro-Am in Greenville also includes a celebrity division, and this is the only
Web.com Tour event that pairs the pros together with amateurs and celebrities.
They play three rounds of golf using three different courses, concluding with
Sunday’s final round at the Thornblade Club. What is the Web.com Tour anyway? Founded
in 1990 by the PGA Tour as a developmental league, golf pros can now play their
way into the PGA Tour. For example, the world’s Number One ranked golf pro is
Jason Day of Australia, and he is a Web.com Tour alumni.

Congrats to Richey Werenski for winning the 2016 tourney! After turning pro in 2014, Werenski then chose to relocate
to Bluffton and join Berkley Hall golf club as a member, citing their practice
area as a good fit for his long-term plans to qualify for the PGA Tour.
Werenski won three times on the Carolina Tour before moving up to the Web.com
ranks, and this is his first win, after two second place
finishes earlier in the year, putting him in second place on the 2016 money list. He
should be able to play for even bigger stakes next year with his PGA Tour card,
and golf fans in the Lowcountry will be pulling for his success.
