All Pro Tour (APT)

What All Pro Tour (APT) does

All Pro Tour (APT) is a developmental professional men's golf tour founded in 1994 and operated by K&G Sports LLC, a family-owned company managed by Gary and Kathy DeSerrano, with their son Cody DeSerrano serving as Chief Operating Officer. The tour conducts 72-hole stroke play tournaments with purses of $100,000 to over $200,000 across the mid-south United States (Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas), serving as a developmental pathway to the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour. Annual events include the Paragon Casino PDS Gaming Championship, Real Okie Charity Championship, The Territory Classic, Children's Hospital of Illinois Championship, and Southwest Kansas Pro-Am, culminating in the High Stakes Showdown season finale at Contraband Bayou Golf Club in Lake Charles, LA.

APT operates a hybrid revenue model based on three streams: (1) tournament entry fees ($995 for members, $1,350 for non-members, with approximately 90% flowing into the purse), (2) annual membership dues ($795 covering reduced entry fees, free Trackman usage, manufacturer discounts, and practice-round access), and (3) sponsorship revenue from tour-wide partners (Callaway Golf, Access Golf, Trackman, OGIO, YETI, Clicgear, Sun Ice, Flag & Anthem) and event-specific sponsors (L'Auberge Casino, OSF HealthCare, DRH Health, Green Country Behavioral Health Services). The Access Golf Points Race creates a season-long engagement loop locking the top 100 point earners into the High Stakes Showdown finale ($50,000 winner payout).

The technology stack is modest: APT uses BlueGolf's industry-standard tournament management platform for player registration, live scoring via the Blue Golf Pro Golf mobile app, and results publishing. The company operates from Double Oak, Texas, with a small full-time team (approximately 11 named staff including tournament managers, operations, communications, and rules personnel) plus its wholly-owned subsidiary, the ANNIKA Women's All Pro Tour (WAPT), which co-sanctions events such as the Children's Hospital of Illinois Championship. APT has graduated four players to the 2025 PGA Tour (Max McGreevy, Cristobal Del Solar, Jeremy Paul, Kevin Velo) and lists notable alumni including Scottie Scheffler, Bubba Watson, and Will Zalatoris. Tournament fields typically feature 100-170 professionals, with admission free to spectators.

Others

• L'Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles: Flagship presenting sponsor of APT's High Stakes Showdown finale and host of the Tom Fazio-designed Contraband Bayou Golf Club. An ecosystem partner whose casino-resort-golf complex is central to APT's marquee season-ending event.
• BlueGolf: Tournament management platform provider used by APT for registration, live scoring, and results. Functions as APT's core operating technology partner and a key ecosystem enabler rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• PGA Tour Americas: PGA Tour's official developmental circuit covering the Americas, designed as a pathway to the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour. Directly competes with APT for amateur-to-pro talent in overlapping geographies and represents the most immediate institutional competitive threat to APT's positioning.
• Epson Tour (formerly Symetra Tour): Official developmental tour of the LPGA serving as the women's pathway to the LPGA Tour. Highly comparable to APT's sister WAPT tour in structure, target market (women professionals), and developmental positioning.
• Korn Ferry Tour: Official PGA Tour-operated developmental tour that directly competes with APT for the same pool of aspiring professional golfers seeking to reach the PGA Tour. Players like Max McGreevy, Cristobal Del Solar, and Jeremy Paul graduated from APT to the Korn Ferry Tour and beyond, establishing the direct competitive relationship.
• Advocates Professional Golf Association (APGA): Minority-focused developmental professional golf tour that provides playing opportunities and a developmental pathway for minority professional golfers. Operates in a similar mini-tour/event-based format and competes for the same pool of developmental-tier players.
• Swing Thought Tour: U.S.-based developmental professional golf tour offering tournaments for aspiring professionals. Competes for the same entry-fee-paying developmental player demographic in overlapping regional markets.
• Minor League Golf Tour (MLGT): Mini-tour operating professional golf tournaments across multiple U.S. regions with comparable purses, entry-fee structures, and developmental positioning. Closest direct competitor in the non-PGA-Tour-affiliated mini-tour segment.

Emerging players

• OutDrive Golf Tour: Smaller, regionally-focused developmental golf tour targeting aspiring professionals with comparable event-based and points-race formats. Less established than APT but operates in an adjacent niche.

Broad incumbents

• PGA Tour Q-School (Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying): Official PGA Tour qualifying school and pathway tournaments that act as both the ultimate destination for APT graduates and a competing developmental route. The institutional incumbent in the developmental-to-PGA-Tour funnel.
