The 2011 Jack Nicklaus International Invitational kicks off in early 2011 with national tournaments around the world. National tournaments are open to all amateur golfers regardless of skill. Qualifying events are held at top-flight courses to give you an opportunity to play some of the best courses in your country along with a chance to win valuable prizes. The grand prize for winning your national tournament is an expense-paid VIP trip for you and your teammate to the international final Tournament of Champions in October 2011 on Jack's course, The Bear's Club in Florida. Contact your local Jack Nicklaus apparel dealer or email info@jniigolf.com to enter an event near you.

If you and your teammate are selected to represent your country, you will fly to beautiful, sunny south Florida and play on the exclusive Bear’s Club against teams from around the world. You will stay at a luxury ocean front resort where between the golf, celebration and star-like pampering, you can relax and indulge yourself in the activities of this ocean retreat.

“We will always cherish the opportunity we were given to meet people from different cultures and to experience the JNII first hand. Thanks for the way you treated each of us with respect. This made us feel like “celebs.” Sakkie and I will no doubt start practicing soon to see if we can make it to the International Finals again in the future.”

Thys Marais, 2008 South African National Champion

The festivities at the Tournament of Champions kick off with the Opening Ceremony where you will be entertained and treated to the sounds and tastes of the region while you meet players from the world over.

The following morning you and your teammate hone your game plan by learning the course with a practice round at The Bear’s Club. That evening the celebration continues as you don the Golden Bear Champions Jacket signifying you as your country’s national champion. You will go to The Bear’s Club to be honored at the Champions’ Dinner, get an exclusive viewing of the greatest trophy collection in golf and much more.

The next day another team will be crowned Grand Champion. It could be you but you have to enter now!
