Nga Hooters TourThe NGA Hooters Tour is the third tier men's golf tour in the United States after the PGA TOUR and the Nationwide Tour. It should be noted that this actually means it is the fourth most lucrative men's tour based in the United States, as it is also well behind the Champions Tour in prize money, but that tour is for over-50s only. Unlike the Nationwide Tour, which is an official development tour organised by the PGA Tour, the NGA Hooters Tour is a private company owned by an individual, T.C. "Rick" Jordan, who founded it in 1988, The Tour is headquartered in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In 2003 the total prize fund was over $2.5 million dollars, and in 2004 the leading money winner had earnings of a hundred and thirty seven thousand dollars. This is a small fraction of the prize money avaialable on the second tier Nationwide Tour, and little more than one per cent of that on the PGA Tour, so they incentives for players to win promotion to a higher tour are very strong indeed. The 2005 schedule features twenty-two events including four with two hundred thousand dollar prize funds. The tour claims to have helped more players acquire PGA Tour, Champions Tour, and Nationwide Tour cards than any other developmental tour.
