INAUGURAL
THUNDERBOLT INVITATIONAL
Because of the huge success of the Patriot All-America Invitational, which was started in 2011, the organizers decided to implement a second tournament to the Patriot lineup named The Thunderbolt. The inaugural playing of the Thunderbolt will be December 27-31, 2022 at the Sterling Grove Golf & Country Club in Surprise, AZ. The Thunderbolt has been added to accommodate those players that met the initial eligibility, but did not make it into the Patriot.
The Thunderbolt consists of players that are:
- Ranked 200-400 on the WAGR Rankings;
- PING Second, Third and Honorable Mention All-Americans from Divisions II, III, NAIA, and NJCAA;
- AJGA Second Team and Honorable Mention All-Americans; and
- any special Invitations granted.
All invitations are issued by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
