Golden Tee players from across the country are heading to Sidelines Sports Grill in St. Cloud, Florida for the first stop of the National Golden Tee Tour of 2026! From Thursday, January 29th through Sunday, February 1st, the Florida Open takes center stage in the Golden Tee community.

The Florida Open Main Event is the marquee attraction, featuring a five-course qualifier and a deep double-elimination bracket that keeps players battling all the way through Sunday. Like every major Golden Tee weekend, the Florida Open has its own traditions that make it stand out. The Women’s Tournament will award its winner a direct entry into the 2027 Golden Tee World Championships, highlighting a weekend that places a strong emphasis inclusivity across the Golden Tee community.

The action begins Thursday night with a Closest to the Pin contest at 7:30 p.m., where players can test their precision. Friday keeps rolling with the Blind Draw Doubles tournament at noon. Played on classic courses, this double-elimination event pairs “A” and “B” players together. Friday night wraps up with the Handicap Tournament at 7:30 p.m., a match-play satellite qualifier that levels the playing field and offers free path into the main event.

Saturday is when the Florida Open truly gets underway. The Main Event qualifier begins at 11:00 a.m., with players taking on five randomly selected 2026 courses. Don’t forget that there will be four newly added courses to the 2026 carousel! The top 32 players advance to Sunday’s Championship Bracket, while the remaining field continues competing in the Purple, Pink, and possibly Copper Brackets, ensuring everyone stays in the hunt. All women will qualify on Saturday and be placed into both the Main Event and Women’s Event brackets, setting up a full slate of match play on Sunday.

Saturday night brings even more action with a Blind Draw Doubles tournament at 7:30 p.m., this time played on current courses.
