2021 SOUTH BEACH INTERNATIONAL AMATEUR
The Parks and Recreation Department is proud to announce that the 11th Annual South
Beach International Amateur (SBIA) golf tournament will be held at the Miami Beach and
Normandy Shores golf clubs from Friday, December 17th through Wednesday, December
22nd.
Over the years, this tournament has garnered an abundance of praise and its ascension
to the top of amateur golf rankings is unprecedented. According to Scratch Players World
Amateur Ranking (SPWAR) and the R&A World Amateur Golf Ranking, the SBIA ranks
as the #5 amateur golf tournament in the world. The other "Top 4" amateur
tournaments – US Amateur, British Amateur, Western Amateur, and NCAA Division 1
Championship – average 120 years in existence.
Ranging from ages 14 to 63, this year’s SBIA will feature 210 players. Of these players,
198 rank in the top 1,000 worldwide, including international competitors who will represent
23 countries on the field. This is the largest international field in the United States, and the
second largest in the world, behind the British Amateur.
In light of the tournament, Miami Beach Golf Club (MBGC) and Normandy Shores Golf
Club (NSGC) will be open for limited hours of public play beginning Friday, December 17th.
MBGC will return to normal hours of operation on Thursday, December 23rd and NSGC
