The eGolf Professional Tour, formerly the Tarheel Tour, was a third-level men's professional golf tour based in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was founded in 2002 and ran through 2015, holding around twenty tournaments each year in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia. Having been acquired by Golf Interact, following the 2015 season, the tour was merged into the SwingThought Tour, formerly known as the NGA Hooters Tour.
History The Tarheel Tour was founded in 2002 by Paul Wortham and David Siegel. It was purchased by Five Oaks Capital in August 2008 and renamed the eGolf Professional Tour the following year. In August 2015, the eGolf Tour was bought by Golf Interact and was integrated into the SwingThought Tour, formerly known as the NGA Hooters Tour.
As a development tour, the eGolf Professional Tour was designed to be a stepping stone for players trying to ascend to higher-level tours. Many players who played on the tour went on to play on the second tier Web.com Tour, and a few have reached the top level on the PGA Tour: Jason Kokrak, Peter Malnati, Grayson Murray, Will MacKenzie, Steve Marino, Jason Bohn, Tommy Gainey, Matt Bettencourt, David Mathis, Seamus Power, William McGirt, and Roberto Castro.
