It varies so much by your circumstances and preferences, and event, that I'm not sure there is a good general answer to your question. The events I have attended there was a fee that covered room, most but not all meals and get togethers (and Footjoy and Titleist accessories and demos), and the rounds, but whether you lived nearby and drove to the event with your own car, or lived in another country and flew and needed a car to get to the golf venue, this cost is very individual.

You’re on your own for transportation. That is so variable depending on your location and the event’s.

The national/international events are in the range of 2-3 thousand per person. Double occupancy is lower than going as a single. Up to $500 more to add a non-playing significant other, if it can be accepted. The full event fee is generally required at the time of registration (which is usually less than a 3 hour window for national events). Refundable with a change of heart so long as there is a waiting list, I think up to 30 days prior to the event. Incidentals usually include one meal, car rental or ride share, potentially parking for a rental and some tips. Use of caddies or forecaddies may involve extra. These prices are in line with what the public resort fee would be on your own, and Titleist throws in a few hundred in merchandise, from balls, shirts, and outerwear to a bag/luggage to carry the swag home. Playing rounds with 100 other enthusiasts is just icing on the cake.

The regional/local events generally only entail a daily fee of around $100 for one day events. When I go to Chicago from WI I drive down for the day. When I go to SD I’ll stay a couple of extra days for a couple more rounds to better justify the plane fare. Especially since I don’t have to use orange balls there to find them in the snow!

Paul - just got back from TT Invitational in Scottsdale. Here's my rundown:
- Initial cost of event = figure $3,000 - single occupancy hotel room, 2 rounds at TPC Scottdale, daily breakfast, lunch, and 2 dinners included.
- Flight = dependent on location - me = $400 Southern CA to PHX
- Played a 'Warm Up' round with other TT members (connected via this Community Board) before the Opening Night Reception = $250. We played Troon North and Scottsdale winter rates have kicked in.
- One night non-Titleist/'on your own' evening = PopStroke (Tiger Woods Miniature Golf) = $40
- Dinner at PopStroke BUT with fellow TT Member that you didn't know was in the same industry so we talked shopped and he paid to expense it = $0 - but will be reciprocated at a future date. Probably $75 otherwise.
- Played a 'Run It Back' round on the Stadium course with other TT members (connected via the Facebook TT Community Group) = $400, plus forecaddie tip $100. Only to find out the other 3 are going to walk with their caddies, so you pay the extra $150 at the ProShop because... You Only Live Once.
- Include a few 'buy someone a round at the bar/on the course because you're having a great time' and 'pay for the shared Uber to the airport because its easier' = $300
Total = I budgeted $5,000 and it looks like it came pretty close. It was also my 50th birthday gift from the family.
Granted some of the above is optional, but the memories are priceless!

Oh yeah, local TT events, if any in your area = probably the cost of a round of golf but slightly discounted from normal course rates.

Enjoy the journey!

Got to love those TTI Connections! It was a blast and great to meet everyone... I think the Annual TTI and International TTI are much higher but the course quality goes way up along with the swag stuff. The local events are eminently doable and great to attend as well.

Flight depends on where the event may be and how far you have to fly, which airlines you use. You can get good deals if you research. Sometimes events are close and you can driver. This first time I have flown. If on east coast I usually drive. The event usually runs about $2000 plus depending on the venue. My costs was $2700 because I choose to room by myself. I flew from Charleston to Scottsdale and use Frequent Flyer miles so have no idea on flight costs (my actual costs was $11.00 to fly) and am AEX gold which got one free bag and shipped my golf clubs $80 round trip. If you fly you need to budget for transportation from airport to resort. Not all resorts have free shuttle service.

Authorized Team Titleist events run the spectrum with regards to cost. There are day events that are very affordable and generally the organizer of the event has that specific goal in mind. The multi-day TT events will require more of a financial commitment.

The good news is that all these events will have the cost to attend plainly clear before you sign up, so you know what you'll need to set aside to reserve your spot.

I agree with Chucks comments. My cost was $2,700.00 for single room, $440.00 RT airfare from NYC and 150.00 for rental car. Did not have to use too much spending money unless you plan on playing other courses before or after the event.
