PURE Insurance Championship Impacting First Tee: How to watch, pre-tournament notes, storylines, more

This week, PGA Tour Champions returns to the Monterey Peninsula for the 23rd edition of the PURE Insurance Championship Impacting First Tee, marking PURE Insurance's 10th year as title sponsor.

Friday and Saturday: One professional with one junior amateur and two amateurs in a team format (80 foursomes); groups play one round on each course. Sunday (Pebble Beach only): 24 pro-junior teams will continue based on score (12 male groups and 12 female groups). The professionals will be cut after 36 holes to the top 50 players and ties.

First Tee: This unique tournament features teens from 52 First Tee chapters across the country who are paired with – and mentored by – PGA Tour Champions players, as well as amateur players from the business world. Consideration for a spot into the event for First Tee kids is based on the quality and integrity of life skills, as well as golfing ability.
