Wagga Country Club officials revealed the event will return in its traditional March timeslot next year but a reshuffle of the golfing calendar will see it held just a week before the NSW Open.

The Wagga Pro-Am is widely regarded as the best Pro-Am in NSW and organisers are confident of attracting the strongest ever field due to the placement of the NSW Open.

The Pro-Am will be held on March 18 and 19 after this year's event was cancelled early in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wagga Pro-Am chairman Ashley Briggs believes the stage is set for a spectacular return.

"Our timing to be one of the first mini-majors, if you like, a week before the NSW Open is enormous. It's a great thing for us," Briggs said.

"We could have an amazing field. I think it's exciting."

Craig Parry, Peter O'Malley, the late Jarrod Lyle, Dimi Papadatos, Nathan Green, Jordan Zunic and Matt Millar are just some of the big names that have graced the Wagga Country Club in recent years for the Pro-Am.

The event will again carry $40,000 in prizemoney and the club is hopeful that many of the country's finest golfers will use the Pro-Am as a lead-up event to the NSW Open.

"With a lot of tournaments shutting down and not happening, the Vic Open is usually held in February and its cancelled, and with a lot of the PGA events not happening, its nice to have a positive story about golf," Wagga Country Club secretary-manager John Turner said.

"We're ready, the members are ready, the club's ready and the major sponsor's ready to put on a fantastic event. The members ask every week when's the Pro-Am coming back, when's it on? It's a celebration, really, the way I see it. We can get the quality players back, the Pro-Am back, the sponsors back and the members use it as the signature event, they look forward to it so it's definitely in all their calendars.

"It's one of Wagga's leading events and I think that will show in sponsors, participants and spectators in March. They will get a touch of normal back. Golf has been a constant throughout the pandemic, that people have an outlet that they can play golf and we're very lucky."

Ron Crouch Transport has agreed to again be major sponsor for the 10^th consecutive year and executive director Geoff Crouch is proud of that association.

"It's a significant milestone as far as the company is concerned. We continue to be exceptionally pleased to have the naming rights to this incredibly prestigious event," Crouch said.

"We're looking forward, after a year of tumultuous upheaval in the sporting world, to be again sponsoring what is the best Pro-Am in NSW."
