The Tournament

A Private Tradition
Born in 2018

Golf is a sport for Life — and this is a tournament for Life.

Who will be a better player this year? Who will be playing better in the years after? Who can become a better golfer over the years? He will get Glory and Money.

The Players 1KPlay is a private golf invitational held annually, bringing together a select group of players for a 3-day competition, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments on the course.

Each year the course, format, and memories evolve, but the spirit remains the same: a love — or maybe obsession — for the game, a strong bond that is created amongst us, and probably the best motivation to get better at golf.

How It Works

Tournament Format

🏌️

Stroke Play

Pure stroke play — every shot on every hole counts toward the final score. The lowest total across all three rounds wins. No mulligans, no shortcuts.

🚫

No Handicap

This is a scratch competition. No handicap adjustments, no strokes given — just raw, honest golf. The best player on the day takes the title.

3️⃣

3 Rounds

Unlike a typical one-day event, the 1KPlay spans three full rounds of golf. Consistency is key — a single bad round can cost you everything.

📅

Annual Event

Held once a year, every year since 2017. The wait between editions only sharpens the hunger — and raises the stakes when tournament week arrives.

🏆

The 1K Prize

Money and Glory for the Skillful Brave.

🎬

Documented Legacy

Every edition is fully filmed and photographed, creating a permanent video archive of the tournament's history for all participants to relive.
