About the Trilby Tour

The Trilby Tour is a multi event amateur golf tournament event created by William Hunt where amateurs compete under professional conditions for the chance to win the top Winner Takes All prize.

Each round is broadcast as part of a summer series on Sky Sports with the top prize going to the winner of the final event. Players pay a £250 entry fee and are kitted out with William Hunt outfit, trilby hat, limited edition Callaway golf bag, and caddy outfit.

A Professional Event for Amateurs

The appeal of the tournament lies in its unusual competitive format and concludes with a 4-man, 3-hole shootout to decide the winner.

The tournament has had an incredibly enthusiastic response from the Amateur community with players hailing it the closest experience to a Professional event. Die-hard fans return year after year gripped by its fierce competitive format:

"I love to see grown men shaking at the first tee - some of them think they have it all under control and then they break like a pack of cards in front of the cameras. And then they relive that moment when the screening comes out - now that's hard."

"It's fantastic to see the Trilby Tour community growing; we have some guys coming back each year - I call them Trilby Tourians. There's a brilliant camaraderie on and off the course and we've even created our own mini Facebook on the website where players can meet up and get together for a practice round or social."
