Scratch Players Championship

The Scratch Players Championship (SPC) was an annual amateur golf tournament held from 2000 to 2010. It was a 72-hole stroke play event with two cuts. The Scratch Players Group ranked the tournament among the top 20 world amateur events in 2010.^[1] The World Amateur Golf Ranking distinguished it as a "category A" tournament,^[2] placing it amidst the top 30 men's amateur tournaments in the world.^[3] In 2007 and 2009, the SPC was among the top 25 in world amateur field.

The tournament was discontinued when the USGA announced the U.S. Amateur would occur one week earlier in 2012 and beyond. The SPC was scheduled in this time slot and was too close to the U.S. Amateur. The tournament's director was also heavily occupied with administering the Scratch Players World Amateur Ranking.

At every golf course that hosted the SPC, it holds the amateur tournament record for winning and average score. This record holds for amateurs and professionals every year except 2004–2006. All SPC Champions turned professional. From 2006, players hailed from at least 15 countries.
