The CCI was scheduled to launch last October, but will now move to the spring to attract players from the Nationwide Tour.Cypress Ridge Golf Course expects to attract a much stronger player field by hosting the 2-day tournament in April, better aligning it with the Nationwide Tour, during what would be a three week break after the Livermore golf tournament. This Peter Jacobsen/Jim Hardy Signature design golf course will be in great condition in April, during a time that awareness of golf is heightened by the media coverage of The Masters at Augusta. The Central Coast Invitational committee's goal has always been to bring the best available golfers to the Central Coast while raising awareness of golf within the San Luis Obispo County and our surrounding cities. By attracting more top names and a stronger player field, they can accomplish that goal and bring a first-class golf event to the area. The CCI has secured a fine charity, the YMCA of San Luis Obispo County, and over 12 regional sponsors who are eager to take the tournament to the next level. The tournament committee is working with all its sponsors to put together a big event for the community in April with attractive "stay and play" packages designed to bring golfers to the Central Coast.
