Quick Guide

Find Out When Your Favorite Players Tee Off

Daily pairings will be posted on wachoviachampionship.com and published in the sports section of the daily Charlotte Observer.

Thursday and Friday pairings are determined before the tournament begins, with each golfer playing one day in the morning and the other day in the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday pairings are based on a player's score, with the leaders teeing off last. Free daily pairing sheets will also be available at the tournament.

Have a Plan

How do you plan to watch your favorite players on the course—"Parade Style" or "Cross-Country Style"? Pick a spot and watch the field pass by ("Parade Style") or follow a particular player or group around the course ("Cross-Country Style").

Arrive Early

Arrive early to reserve a spot, especially if you plan on watching the tournament "Parade Style." On Thursday and Friday, groups simultaneously start on the first and tenth holes. Most people watch the action on the back nine holes, which may give you the opportunity to get a better view of the players on the front nine.

Daily Pairing Sheet and Course Map

Pick up a daily pairing sheet to find out when the players tee off and the order of the groups. Pairing sheets include a course map, and are available near entrances and at selected locations on the tournament grounds. Plan ahead using our interactive course map.

The pros usually play in threesomes on Thursday and Friday and twosomes on the weekends. Check the scoreboards to find out who the leaders are and where they are on course. One way to tell the players from a distance is to look for their caddies, who wear vests with their player's name on the back.

Proper Apparel

Be sure to check the weather to determine proper apparel. Always bring a rain jacket or poncho, and wear light colored and cool clothing on hot and mostly sunny days. Also, be sure to wear comfortable shoes, preferably with flat soles to avoid injury that may result due to uneven terrain.
