The Men’s All Pro Tour stated the following about the tournament on its website:
Tournament Notes: While the course is not the most challenging stop on tour (thus the name), Brownwood CC does demand a good wedge game with its very small sloping greens. If your short-game is on, you will be in the hunt. The tournament’s hospitality during the week is some of the best all year with BBQ, fishing, skeet shooting and a Long Drive off the Clubs back deck.
PGA Pre-Q: During the first round of the Birdies on the Bayou, players have an opportunity to ‘pre-qualify’ for the PGA’s Byron Nelson. Registration for this pre-qualifier is done at the Northern Texas PGA site. Links provided in the link below.
Korn Ferry Monday: Brownwood is conveniently schedule the same week as the Korn Ferry stop in Dallas. Brownwood is only 166 miles from the Korn Ferry stop in Dallas allowing players to Monday Q and have a back up event close if needed.
