Our Mission is to provide an affordable, top level professional
golf training ground for players who aspire to play on the
PGA, Korn Ferry, PGA Americas, DP World, Champions and LPGA Tours.
It takes 3, 4, even 5 years for a very good player to
determine if their game can elevate to handle world class competition. By
playing on The Minor League Golf Tour, you will be able to economically
gain the experience you need.
Our fee structure, payout formula and event schedule is what
makes our tour distinctive. The tour was founded in 2004 to help all
aspiring golfers take their best shot at playing professional golf on a major
exempt status tour.
A Lower Cost Alternative
The Minor League Golf Tour is a lower cost alternative.
The economics of professional golf are very harsh. Almost
every player without major tour status will need to be subsidized to continue chasing the dream.
We pay deep, not top heavy. It makes sense that the major tours PGA,
Korn Ferry, DP World, LPGA, and Senior all pay top heavy. The players earn
and/or keep their status based upon the money list.
A very small group of top players outside of these status based tours earn
enough money playing golf to sustain their dreams on "developmental-mini tours".
While it is good for them, it takes hundreds of players
to support them.
Accelerated Experience
Monday Qualifiers are like Minor League Golf Tour 1-Day events, you need to go low.
Not only do our 1-Day events help you prepare for Monday qualifiers, they accelerate your development by allowing you to get in the hunt
much more often than you would in multiple day events, helping you learn to handle the pressure of being in
contention and seeing yourself on the leader board.
So if you are in the majority that keep on paying HUGE
dollars for experience, stop wasting your money and come
play with us.
Tour History
The Minor League Golf Tour was founded in 2004 by Jay Slazinski to give any player with the dream of playing professional golf a shot.
His concept was and still is, you can work and still have the opportuntity to play 10-12 competitive rounds per month.
Jimmy Jones won a dozen MLGT events before becoming the Tournament Director from 2007-14.
Starting in 2010 the tour was known as The FuZion Minor League Golf Tour. After FuZion closed, GOLFslinger.com stepped in as the title sponsor until 2014.
In 2014, Scott Turner, who won 8 times and earned over $38,000 on the MLGT joined The Minor League Golf Tour team. In 2015 Scott became Director of Tournament Operations, and
took over ownership September 1, 2017.
A Note from Tour Founder Jay Slazinski:
For 14 years I truly enjoyed being a part of creating an affordable training and testing golf environment to help players pursue their golf dreams. Along the way there were countless conversations
with so many interesting people, many of whom have become friends.
But, just like the majority of players who pursue this elusive goal, there comes a point when you realize it is time to move on.
As most of you already know, Scott Turner does a great job for the Minor League Golf Tour. He loves this tour, and I am confident Scott will continue to deliver the excellence he has made us accustomed to.
I will continue to maintain the Minor League Golf website for Scott, and will be playing in the Team and occasional TD events.
Thank you for your years of support. Play well!
