After two weeks off, the Nationwide Tour returns this week with a new event on the schedule - The Athens Regional Foundation Classic. Players will be tackling the 7,000-yard Jennings Mill Country Club course competing for a $90,000 winner`s share of the $500,000 purse.
The field includes Tripp Isenhour, who opened the Nationwide Tour season with a win at the Movistar Panama Championship and won for a second time in 2006 at the tour’s last event, the Livermore Valley Championship.
There is no break in the near future for the Nationwide Tour, which will have events each of the next four weeks beginning with the BMW Charity Pro-Am, which was won by Share Bertsch last year.
