The tournament will take place at both the Golden Eagle Golf Club and White Plains Golf Club. Pepsi returns as the title sponsor for the 16th year while the Golden Eagle Athletic Department welcomes Michelob Ultra as its new corporate partner as the event's presenting sponsor. Michelob Ultra will also serve as the presenting sponsor of Doc Fields' Annual Concert.

The Bobby Nichols Scramble will kick off Friday morning with the first round of play followed by the Annual Doc Fields' golf party/concert to follow later that evening. Play will continue Saturday morning with the second round followed by the annual barbeque dinner, contests and door prizes. Flighting will occur based off Friday and Saturday's results and tee times will be set accordingly and communicated to each participant. There will be no flight declaration for any flight, including the championship flight. Professionals are not eligible for prizes or contests.

Those who register early will get their first choice of tee time and course for play on Friday and Saturday (each golfer will be required to play each course once). Registration will be available online, on the phone or in-person at the Hooper Eblen Center ticket office.
The scramble will have a limited capacity of 320 golfers and is expected to fill quickly, so all participants are encouraged to sign up early to secure their spot.
