The Nevada Open is scheduled for Nov. 7–10 in Mesquite and will offer a total purse of $125,000 in addition to a purse for the pro-am and prizes for amateurs. The tournament will be held at CasaBlanca Golf Club and Palms Golf Club.
Back for the second year is a special pro-am scheduled for Nov. 7 at The Palms while the professional competition is scheduled for Nov. 8–10 at both the CasaBlanca and Palms courses.

Professionals can bring their own amateur team, or Nevada Open officials will pair interested professionals with a team of three amateurs. Registration for the pro-am is also now open on the website.
“We are thrilled that the players will again be playing for $125,000 and the lucrative purse paired with the quality of courses and Mesquite hospitality continually attracts some of the top aspiring golfers,” said Christian Adderson, corporate sales manager for Mesquite Gaming. “Several who have played here are now on the PGA Tour, including Graham Delaet and Tony Finau. Last year’s champion, Air Force veteran Tom Whitney, is now playing on the PGA Tour LatinoAmerica. The pro-am has also now become an annual tradition and offers a chance for everyday golfers to play with the future stars.”
