The QBE Shootout is the longest-running event in the so-called “silly season” of golf and will take place at the Gold Course at the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Fla. From December 10-12.

The winners of the QBE Shootout, which began in 1989 as the RMCC Invitational and is known as the “Shark Shooutout”, will win $ 895,000 out of a total purse of $ 3.5 million.

The event consists of three 18-hole rounds with a different format each day. Round 1 is a scramble, round 2 is a modified alternate shot, and the final round is four balls. The Gold par 72 course plays 7,382 yards.
