Registration for the 126th edition is now open. GAP’s premier major will take place June 15-17 & 20 at Sunnybrook Golf Club which will serve as the primary host. The 1912 Club will be a qualifying host on Day One. It’s open to male GAP Member Club golfers with a handicap index of 5.0 or lower.

The path to the J. Wood Platt Trophy starts with BMW Philadelphia Amateur Championship Qualifying at these five sites.

This will be Sunnybrook’s second time hosting the Philadelphia Amateur. In an all Philmont Country Club Final in 1980, Ben Goldman defeated Bob Levy, 5&4.

The winner of the BMW Philadelphia Amateur Championship receives an exemption into 2027 U.S. Amateur Final Qualifying.

The BMW Philadelphia Amateur Championship is GAP’s premier individual championship. Participants must first advance through a one day, 36-hole stroke-play qualifier to gain one of the 32 available match play positions. Those who qualify for match play must advance through one of four matches in two days to reach the BMW Philadelphia Amateur Final, which is typically held on the Saturday of Father’s Day weekend. The winner receives the J. Wood Platt Trophy: its namesake holds a record-seven BMW Philadelphia Amateur Championship titles.
