DEAR GOLF FANS, On behalf of the PGA TOUR and Web.com Tour, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the 27th annual BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation. The Web.com Tour is excited to return to Greenville for the only Pro-Am Tournament on the Tour schedule. The first 26 years of the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation were outstanding and set a standard for charitable giving any professional tournament would be proud to call its own. Its past portends even bigger success for the next 26 years. As the Web.com Tour enters its 29th season in 2018, we continue to build on recent structural changes that have significantly enhanced the Tour’s appeal, presence and profile in the United States and abroad. With all 50 PGA TOUR cards awarded through the Web.com Tour, it clearly is developing the “Next Wave” of PGA TOUR stars. And importantly, it has also become the destination for top players from the Mackenzie Tour-PGA TOUR Canada, PGA TOUR China and PGA TOUR Latinoamérica, a development that further elevates the Web.com Tour’s stature in the world of golf.

BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation

As one of 27 Tour events, the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation plays a key role in determining which players secure the 50 coveted PGA TOUR cards by season’s end. Charity has always been a critical part of the Web.com Tour’s fiber, with thousands of volunteers donating their time to the events so organizations in their communities and states can benefit. As the collective Tours of the PGA TOUR and their individual tournaments surpassed the $2-billion mark in charitable proceeds in January 2014, we congratulate the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation for their participation in another successful year of fundraising on the Web.com Tour.

We would like to thank BMW, SYNNEX Corporation, the city of Greenville and the many other tournament sponsors for their contributions and the support they provide. We also want to express our sincere gratitude to the membership of the Thornblade Club, The Cliffs Valley and Furman University Golf Club, as well as the many tournament volunteers who unselfishly give up their time in order to make the event a success. Enjoy the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation as you witness golf’s next wave of stars pursue their dreams and The Path to the PGA TOUR! Sincerely,

Dan Glod President, Web.com Tour

DEAR TOURNAMENT ATTENDEES, On behalf of SYNNEX Corporation, I am pleased to welcome you to the 2018 BMW Charity Pro-Am. As presenting sponsor for the past eight years, the tournament is an integral part of our company story. Each year along with BMW, we enjoy hosting the players, celebrities, and spectators who visit Greenville for this great event. It’s a pleasure to show off the place we call home, including our thriving downtown, golf courses and clubs. It’s also fun being with so many locals who attend the tournament. But what’s most important about tournament week is the impact it has on our greater community. In 2018, this will include helping children suffering from life-debilitating illnesses, providing homebound citizens with nutritious meals, and delivering new opportunities to students around science, technology, engineering and mathematics. SYNNEX is humbled to have played a part in the $12.7 million dollars raised since the tournament’s inception, and we look forward to seeing this number climb in the years ahead. Just as the BMW Charity Pro-Am is about more than golf, SYNNEX Corporation is about more than IT distribution. Our story is largely about getting involved in the communities we serve. And the tournament is just one of the many ways our more than 1,700 Greenville associates and 125,000 associates around the world are able to give back. We hope you have a great time enjoying the golf and meeting a few celebrities this week. And while you’re at it, we invite you to learn more about the tournament’s philanthropic impact. Remember, it’s never too late to find a small way you can give back to Greenville or whatever community you call home. We believe that together, everyone can make a difference. From all of us at SYNNEX, we hope you enjoy the tournament.

SYNNEX Share the Magic is an annual fundraising initiative created by SYNNEX Corporation to provide the much needed funding for Upstate, South Carolina children and youth facing incredible challenges.

Driving for Better Health It’s par for the course that children get bumps, bruises, aches and sprains. However, some suffer chronic pain, such as migraines, constant joint discomfort and severe pain syndromes. That’s why Children’s Hospital of Greenville Health System (GHS) offers the Upstate’s only pediatric pain medicine program, where pain physicians, psychologists, physical therapists and nurse navigators—all pediatric trained—use a team approach to care for children with chronic pain. At GHS Children’s Hospital, we salute the BMW Pro-Am presented by Synnex Corp. for its drive to promote a healthy Upstate—and thank all who made this event possible. Together we can ace health care.

THE CLIFFS

THE CLIFFS VALLEY Tucked into its lush namesake, The Cliffs Valley golf course follows the land’s natural contours and elevation changes, challenging members to play over and around streams, ponds and rolling hills. The temperate weather and beautiful course has created one of the most enthusiastic golf communities at The Cliffs, including The Cliffs Valley Ladies Golf Association, the largest group of female golfers in our seven communities. The Cliffs Valley course benefitted from nearly $500,000 and 15 weeks of enhancements in 2017, including a full conversion of all greens surfaces to Champion Bermudagrass, along with the addition of several unique and challenging bunkers. At The Cliffs Valley, Ben Wright’s goal was to move as little dirt as possible — an enlightened approach twenty years ago that has become the mantra of modern day course design. The course is invitingly walkable, and absolutely a joy to do so as you traverse the many stone bridges that remind us of the game’s origins. True to its name, Valley is surrounded by the mountains, steep to the north and soft to the south. The North Carolina state line is visible as it traces the northern peaks. But Valley is also park-like, where lakes and streams play into every hole. It is colorful, not only alive with flowers in spring and summer, but an explosion of color when autumn arrives. The fact that the hills are lush and waterfalls seem to be around every corner owes to the generosity of Mother Nature. And so when the course is set deep in a valley such as this, one can expect that water is going to come into play, and at The Cliffs Valley it does on just about every hole. It might be a creek you can jump across, or a lake that is more of a visual than real hazard but certainly, Wright got it all right here.

BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation

There is no sport older or with a more traditional ethic than golf. Honesty is as much a part of the fabric of the game as is, well, plaid. And so at The Cliffs Valley we honor that lineage, with plenty of plaid, tall gabled roofs, ornate bars and stone fireplaces – all the trapping that are as comfortable as the leather grip on your favorite putter.

The Cliffs Valley is consistently rated by our members as their favorite course, in part because of its walkability and its reputation for being playable virtually every day of the year, which members absolutely do. This is a rich golf experience in every aspect of the game, from the golf shop to the range and surely to a classic clubhouse. At The Cliffs Valley, architect Ben Wright absolutely got it right. Course Details: Tee to green ranges from 6,176 – 7,050 yards at the tips and challenges are presented in surprising ways, not the least of which is water. Par is 72 and if that number is to be achieved at any of The Cliffs seven courses, it’s likely here. Depending on your tee box, ranges from 69.3 – 73.5 and the slope 122.0 – 131.0. A parkland-style course with impeccably maintained Bermudagrass tees and fairways and champion ultra-dwarf Bermuda greens. Course designer is Ben Wright, Emmy and Peabody award-winning golf commentator. The Cliffs Valley debuted with honors from Golf Digest, garnering a Best New Courses Award.

FURMAN

THE FURMAN UNIVERSITY GOLF CLUB The Furman Golf Club offers a challenging, par-72 layout that underwent a major renovation in 2008. All 18 greens were reconstructed under USGA specifications and reseeded with Champion Ultra Dwarf Bermuda grass. The course was voted the No.1 Public Golf Course in the Upstate by the South Carolina Golf Ratings Panel, ranked No. 17 in Golfweek’s “Best Campus Courses” in 2016, and received a 3.5-star ranking from Golf Digest. A long-term master plan, implemented in 2010, led to a new practice facility for the Furman golf teams, enhanced public practice facilities, new tees to accommodate golfers of all levels, bunker strategy improvement, refurbished cart paths, irrigation upgrades, major drainage installation and clubhouse enhancements. The course now also qualifies as a PGA Family Course. Take advantage of our Annual Pass Program and services including club fitting, clinics and private lessons. If you only have time to hit a few balls, visit our driving range, putting green and chipping green.
