Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club Orlando to host LPGA Tour’s Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions Presented by Insurance Office of America

The Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions Presented by Insurance Office of America will be held January 16-19, 2020

Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort, U.S.A., 2020-Jan-05 — /Travel PR News/ — Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club Orlando is the host venue for LPGA Tour’s Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions Presented by Insurance Office of America. The four-day tournament, taking place January 16-19, 2020 on the pristine Tranquilo Golf Course, will be nationally televised, with January 16 and 17 airing on Golf Channel and January 18 and 19 on NBC.

The event officially kicks off the LPGA Tour’s 2020 season by bringing together the world’s top women golfers to play alongside world-class sports and entertainment celebrities. Stakes will run high as only LPGA Tour winners from the past two seasons will qualify to compete for USD 1.2 million in official prize money. While the LPGA Tour pros play 72 holes of stroke play with no cut, top-tier athletes and entertainers will be on the course competing using a modified Stableford scoring format for a separate USD 500,000 purse. During the event’s pro-am, a group of amateur golfers will qualify to play side by side with the professionals during official tournament rounds.

“We are honoured to be the host of such a prestigious tournament for the fourth year in a row, and we’re thrilled to welcome so many talented athletes to Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club Orlando,” says Thomas Steinhauer, General Manager and Regional Vice President of Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort.

Proceeds from the event’s live and silent auctions will directly benefit nominated charities. To date, the tournaments have helped raise more than USD 3.5 million for charity. One-day and four-day grounds passes for the tournament can be purchased online.

Sports Tourism in Orlando

While Orlando may be recognised worldwide as the theme park capital of the world, the destination has been increasingly gaining ground as a sports and recreation hotspot.

In addition to exciting Magic games, visitors can attend professional sporting events for Orlando City Soccer, the Solar Bears, the University of Central Florida’s football team and more. Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, a massive 230-acre (93 hectare) athletic compound located within Walt Disney World Resort, also hosts a variety of sporting events throughout the year. Families have a fun opportunity to experience what it’s like to be an NBA player in a new interactive venue, called NBA Experience, which opened in August 2019 at Disney Springs. Runners of all ages and skill levels also love the runDisney race weekends at Walt Disney World Resort featuring running courses that wind through Disney’s theme parks.
