The Putting Zone
The National Putting Tour is proud to announce a new partnership with The Putting Zone in Nashville, TN. This will be the site of the 2026 ESPN show! Stay tuned for a date on that. This venue is super cool and the course promotes more of a traditional putting experience rather than a bunch of gimmicks and silly tricky putts. It is really cool!
In the meantime, they have a grand opening two-person tournament that they are doing this Friday! (January 9th, 2026)! It will offer a $2500.00 guaranteed purse, and they do not have that many signed up yet so this could be a good chance to grab some cash for players that are in the area.
Below you can view tournament flyer as well as more tournament details. Do not miss this epic event! View:

$1000 for team first place. ($500 per player) $500 second place team.$250 third place team. $150 in TPZ gift certificates team…..6-10….$100 TPZ gift certificates team. Money prizes paid in cash.

Marshalls on the course to monitor scoring. With 2 person teams, 2 on a hole at one time, scores will be attested by opposing teams. Cheating will result in disqualification of the tournament.

We will open the course one hour prior to the start of the tournament for practice . The practice green is open at all times for practice .
10. Are notes allowed to be used? If so, can they be on my phone or do they have to be handwritten notes?
Notes can be used. Still have to execute the shot. Phone or handwritten.
11. Is coaching aloud between team members?
Coaching between teammates is allowed.
12. For the tee spots, do we get to choose what spot we are hitting from or do we have to hit from a particular tee spot or is there some sort of order with that?
As in any round of golf, tee positions and who goes first is determined by the players on the first tee by whatever means they decide on. Picking numbers, drawing tees, etc … Subsequent tee positions are determined by lowest score first. If a tie is involved, the teams will determine the order.
Final lowest aggregate teams scores will determine the winner. In case of a tie, team total Zones hit will be the first deciding factor to break the tie, followed by birdies, then pars. If a tie still exists after that, the closest to the zone on the 160 ft putt determines the winner.
