Suggested ReadingGolf Tournament Formats and Betting GamesGolf Glossary Index "Am-Am"Definition: An Am-Am tournament is one in which two amateurs are paired - "amateur-amateur," get it? Or, as we once saw an am-am described on the Web site of a tournament organizer: "You've heard of a pro-am, right? Well, we ain't got no pros."

That golfers who sign up to play in the tournament will be paired with a so-called celebrity (as opposed to a professional golfer) It doesn't have to imply either one of those things, of course. A designation of "am-am" often just means that if you sign up to play, you'll be paired with another amateur such as yourself on a 2-person team.
