Event Window:
5/26 – 6/7
The Johnny's Subs Shootout gives non-traveling players an opportunity to stay active in the season standings and continue earning valuable points while the annual trip takes center stage in Myrtle Beach.
While the Rebel Cup and CGA Open battles unfold on the coast, the rest of the league will still have plenty to play for.
