The PGA Web.com Tour’s 29th Price Cutter Charity Championship presented by Dr Pepper gets under way Thursday morning at Highland Springs Country Club.
Here’s our fan’s guide on the top players, tickets, where to eat & more!
TOP 10 to WATCH
The Web.com Tour’s website had a great Power Rankings post this week taking a look at the race for 25 PGA Tour cards for next season. Among 10 players to watch are:
Sungjae Im. A victory, three runner-up finishes and the money lead for the entire season. After his runner-up last week at Indian Creek, it would be hard to slot him anywhere else.
Dawie van der Walt. The South Africa native recorded a season-best top four last week in Omaha, and he returns to Highland Springs with good memories from his victory in 2015.
David Skinns. Following an emotional, breakthrough victory in Omaha, the Englishman is able to reset his goals in a hurry. He ranked third in driving accuracy and 13th in distance last week, a potent combination.

HONORING OUR HEROES
PRESENTED BY N ROUTE ENTERPRISES
Honor Guards from four agencies – Greene County Sheriff’s Office, Springfield PD, Missouri Highway Patrol & the Junior ROTC of Ozark High School will march the U.S. & Missouri flags to the No. 1 tee box every morning. Additionally, a number of veterans will be seated in the Heroes tent on the 18th green, as the PCCC is giving free admission – and free food and drinks – to all current and retired military, law enforcement and first responders and their immediate family.

WIN A FORD F-150 STX or $10,000
With the Price Cutter Charity Championship Golf Tournament presented by Dr Pepper, a little luck can go a long way. That’s because for $25 you’ll get an admission pass for all four tournament days (a $40 value), plus a 1-in-8,000 chance to win a blue 2018 Ford F-150 STX, or $10,000 in cash and you’ll have a one-in-16 chance to win one of 125 daily prizes worth at least $25 each. But best of all, 100 percent of your ticket proceeds will go toward the charity of your choice.
Winners to be announced on the 18th green following play on Championship Sunday!
