International Players Tour was launched in April 2002 for the purpose of bringing PGA style competition to avid golfers everywhere. Founded by Ron Beaman in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area, Ron developed a business model that would provide avid recreational golfers a chance to play in an environment similar to major tour events — “inside the ropes” for significant prize money — utilizing a proprietary handicap system.

After conducting its first event in June, 2002, Beaman followed with 17 tournaments in 2002 and awarded nearly $60,000 in prize money. With over 1200 players in their system, IPT management conducted over 150 events in 2007 within ten state and twelve metropolitan city areas with payouts exceeding $570,000.

In 2008, the International Players Tour will conduct 200+ events in fifteen different metro areas, culminating in the Tour Championship at the Horseshoe Bay Marriott Resort in Texas, with the winner taking home $20,000 in GUARANTEED first place prize money!

“The Model that Works” is now being adopted effectively and implemented successfully in multiple cities, with projected expansion into 5-10 new markets each year — including international locations — through a unique licensing rights program.
