PGA Tournament @ WDW in November?

[Boardwalk III]

Hi - not sure where to post this question, but we arrive for a trip the week of the WDW PGA Tournament (Children's Miracle Network) ....we bought the week-long pass, but I have never been to a PGA event. Will we be able to easily go in on Fri or Sat to watch for a few hours in the morning, and on the final day (Sunday) do we have to get there at 6am or can we arrive anytime during the day and actually see some action? I believe they are shuttling folks from the MK parking lot to Magnolia. Any information would be appreciated!

Best source of info would be the event or PGA's websites. I went to a couple of the Sr. tour events a while ago and it was come & go as you pleased.

I went for few hours during the first round [Thursday] last year and it was surprising "not crowded". We were staying at the BCV without a car so getting there was the hardest part. I had to take the MK bus and transfer at MK to a bus for the golf course. If you have your own car, you'll park at TTC and shuttle from there. It's a fun event to spectate with the Pro-Am groups and the lack of crowds [at least in my experience] allowed me to get good viewing for the golfers. To answer your question around arrival timing, you do not need to be there at 6:00 AM, especially on Sat/Sun after the cut as they tee off later. Any questions, let me know!
