Amateur Players Tour (APT) partners with SWAG Golf to create nationwide team event series, SWAG Golf Club
Chicago, IL — March 26th, 2026 — The Amateur Players Tour (APT) is proud to announce the launch of SWAG Golf Club, a new nationwide team-based tournament experience in partnership with SWAG Golf. Debuting in 2026, the concept introduces a fresh format—and for the first time, is open to all golfers, not just APT members.
SWAG Golf Club will feature 2-man teams competing in either 4-ball or scramble formats at premier courses across the country. The experience blends APT’s proven tournament structure with a more social, high-energy format designed to welcome golfers of every skill level.
“This is a big moment for us,” said Matt Minder, CEO & Co-Founder of APT. “We’ve built APT around competitive integrity and structure, but we also know the game is at its best when it’s shared. Opening this to everyone—and introducing fun team formats—creates a completely new on-ramp into tournament golf. Whether you’re a long-time member or someone who’s never teed it up in competition, this is designed for you.”
The 2026 schedule includes stops at top destinations such as Scottsdale, Austin, Chicago, Tampa, and Myrtle Beach, delivering a national footprint with a consistent, elevated experience at each venue.
“This is where things get fun,” said Griffin Glatt, Chief Revenue Officer of SWAG Golf. “We’re taking great golf courses, pairing them with a great atmosphere, and layering in the SWAG personality—bold, creative, and a little unexpected.”
Key Highlights of SWAG Golf Club:
- Open Access: Available to both APT members and non-members

- National Schedule: Events at elite courses across major golf markets
