Tickets are now on sale for the Grass Clippings Open, a two-day golf tournament and concert series on April 19 and 20 at Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills.
The first event of the 2024 Grass League season, the Grass Clippings Open will feature 75 two-person amateur teams competing for a $100,000 purse in a no-stroke, scramble, low gross format, a press release stated.
The tournament will be broadcast live on the Bleacher Report website, app and social channels. Country music star Easton Corbin is scheduled to headline the Friday evening concert, while Saturday’s concert headliner is soon to be announced.
On both April 19 and April 20, gates open at 9 a.m. Live music will continue from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and golf action takes place from 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Event tickets, which include access to golf, live music and food venues are available at www.GrassLeague.com with two-day passes available for $65 each and one-day passes for $40 each.
Grass Clippings Co-Founder Jake Hoselton stated in the release that the event is a true collaboration between Grass League, Grass Clippings and TNT Sports/Bleacher Report.
“The Grass League is set to make history — offering a new product of competitive golf for both players and fans. This is golf broadcasted in primetime,” Hoselton stated,
Played at Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills, Arizona’s first fully lit 18-hole golf course, and founded by brothers Jake and Jimmy Hoselton, Connor Riley, Pete Wilson and TJ Forster, the Grass Clippings Open will showcase a blend of competitive spirit and diverse entry paths, the release explained.
The event begins the night of April 17 with a no-stroke, 18-hole qualifying scramble tournament, from which 18 teams emerge to join the final lineup of 75 teams. These selected teams then engage in the 36-hole Grass Clippings Open on April 19 and 20.
Saturday’s final round will also include a one-million-dollar shootout.
The 75 teams competing in the Grass Clippings Open will consist of:
20 franchise teams: Each franchise is entitled to field two teams.
Past champions: Two spots are reserved for previous winners.
13 sponsorship exemptions: These entries are granted to teams sponsored by various entities.
22 exempt independents: These teams secure their place by finishing in the top 30 of the previous year's tournament.
18 qualified teams: These teams earn their entry through the April 17 qualifier of 54 teams vying for the top 18 positions.
The top 20 teams from the Grass Clippings Open gain automatic entry into next year's tournament.
On March 2, 2023, Tempe City Council approved Grass Clippings’ plan to overhaul and operate Rolling Hills Golf Course. The golf course reopened on Nov. 3, 2023, following a four-month golf course renovation project.
The team recently unveiled a refurbished golf shop and is in the process of renovating the clubhouse, adding a new Mexican food restaurant and a patio bar.
Additionally, Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills will add a hilltop bar near hole 8, an activity lawn and video display and an entertainment site for live music, markets and events, with full completion of all projects targeted for fall 2024.
