Johnny Mac Pro-Am Returns to SPORTIME Amagansett to Fund Scholarships

The Johnny Mac Tennis Project Pro-Am at SPORTIME Amagansett is an annual Hamptons summer fixture that mixes top-level tennis, social hospitality, and critical fundraising for under-resourced youth. The event pairs former touring pros, academy coaches and well-known names in a Legends flight with amateur players in a festive round-robin doubles format, then turns to cocktails, auctions and sponsor activations to convert on-court energy into scholarships and programming dollars.

Format and atmosphere are designed for both players and spectators. On court, the round-robin structure guarantees multiple matches for every amateur/pro pairing, making participation accessible and competitive rather than a single showcase. Off court, the Pro-Am blends a lively after-party with live and silent auctions, hospitality tents and branded sponsor areas that create a true Hamptons weekend vibe. For local fans, that means a chance to see familiar faces from the tour, watch high-level coaching clinics and enjoy a spectator experience that’s more social match day than elite-only tournament.

The event’s fundraising work is central. Proceeds support JMTP’s year-round programs that expand access to tennis, underwrite scholarships, and create pathways to college and personal development for students across the New York City area. Over the years the Pro-Am has leveraged repeat participation from headline figures such as John and Patrick McEnroe, alongside former touring pros and academy professionals, to raise both money and visibility for recruitment, scholarships and outreach clinics in underserved neighborhoods.

Community relevance goes beyond money raised. The Pro-Am functions as a networking and pipeline moment for local high school players, coaches and parents looking for scholarship opportunities, summer programs and connections to collegiate recruiters. Sponsors gain local hospitality and visibility while directly underwriting instruction, equipment, court time and academic support that JMTP programs provide. For volunteers and ball kids, the event is a hands-on way to be part of a large fundraiser that also celebrates tennis culture in the Hamptons.

Logistics vary year to year; the Pro-Am is held each summer at SPORTIME Amagansett with registration, ticketing and sponsorship opportunities announced seasonally. Check the Johnny Mac Tennis Project and SPORTIME Amagansett official pages for the current year’s dates, registration details and ticket or sponsor packages.

For players, families and supporters, the Pro-Am offers more than an afternoon of tennis. It’s a community-serving weekend where local hospitality and high-level play combine to open doors for young athletes and turn Hamptons serves into long-term opportunities for NYC youth.
