Tournament Overview
TOURNAMENT HISTORY:
The Stocker Cup was founded in 1991 to
honor
the
memory of Peter Stocker. Peter and his
partners Bill
Harlan and John Montgomery founded San
Francisco's
Pacific Union Company, a highly successful real
estate
development company. The firm initiated the
development of The Santa Lucia Preserve, a
20,000
acre residential and golf community located
above
Carmel. Meandering through the winding road
to The
Preserve's centerpiece -- the top-100 rated golf
course -- has been described as "driving
through a California postcard." The Stocker Cup
was played from 1991 to 1999 at Pebble Beach
and
its
surrounding golf courses, before moving to the
Tom
Fazio and Sandy Tatum designed Preserve G.C.
In
the
words of former USGA President Tatum: "Peter
Stocker was the quintessential amateur golfer.
He
loved golf with a passion. He would have loved
this
tournament."
FORMAT:
54-hole individual
competition
with
a
simultaneous best-ball event, similar to the
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Invited Mid-
Amateur
players are either paired with a single digit
amateur
or
can propose their own partner to be introduced
and
invited by the Committee.
