PGA Tour brings World Champions Cup to Bradenton, Florida
Bradenton Florida is gearing up for the highly anticipated World Champions Cup, a new global team competition.
It tees off from December 7 to 10, 2023.
The event will see teams from the UK and Europe, US and ‘Team International’ hosted at the Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida.
It is an opportunity for Bradenton to showcase its golf tourism and local community.
Named “Best New Private Course” by Golf Digest during its opening year in 2006, The Concession was designed in honour of the 1969 Ryder Cup, where Jack Nicklaus conceded a putt to Tony Jacklin.
That gesture, known as “the concession,” rendered the two teams in a tie – the first in Ryder Cup history – and became known as one of the greatest acts of sportsmanship.
Nicklaus and Jacklin teamed up to design The Concession.
In addition to the World Champions Cup, The Bradenton Area has a thriving golfing community. Known for pristine fairways and fine weather, Bradenton offers an exceptional golfing experience.
Away from the fairways, the city has a vibrant culture, sandy beaches, and top class dining.
The World Champions Cup marks a significant addition to the PGA Tour’s calendar, introducing a team-based format.
Under the PGA Tour umbrella, it will bring together the best golfers from around the globe.
The World Champions Cup will feature three captains leading their respective teams.
They are Darren Clarke of Team Europe, and Ernie Els will helm Team International.
Jim Furyk will captain Team USA.
For UK golf fans, there is a World Champions Cup with Bradenton Stay package, inclusive of:
