BMW Charity Pro Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation

South Carolina Charities, Inc. (SCCI), the non-profit foundation of the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation, was created in order to showcase the beauty of Upstate South Carolina and the hospitality of its citizens to the world; to create an event that brings the Upstate a fun and entertaining week centered around professional athletes and world renowned celebrities; and most importantly to raise money and awareness for Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina charities. SCCI has raised more than $7.3 million since its inaugural event in 2001. The funds raised during the 2010 event will be announced in Fall 2010. The 2010 BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation was played Thursday, May 13 through Sunday, May 16 at Bright’s Creek Golf Club, The Carolina Country Club and Thornblade Club. The BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation is the only tournament on the Nationwide Tour where amateurs and celebrities are grouped with Nationwide Tour professionals in a four-day better-ball competition over three courses. Amateurs, celebrities and pros rotate between three courses on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with the 14 lowest scoring pro-amateur/pro-celebrity teams advancing to play Sunday's final round at Thornblade Club. The 2010 professional champion (Justin Hicks) of the overall 72-hole event took home $108,000 from the total purse of $600,000. The 2011 tournament will take place May 19-22.
