FAN LOYALTY SETS NEW ATTENDANCE RECORD AT THE HONDA CLASSIC

Congratulations to local PGA TOUR Professional Justin Thomas for winning the 2018 Honda Classic. The Honda Classic was thrilled to announce a record breaking attendance of 224,624 spectators propelled by the competitive playing of Tiger Woods and a thrilling playoff victory by world no. 3, Justin Thomas! The Honda Classic is a Founding Partner of our Chapter and supports our mission and programs through their charitable giving. Our Chapter also raises funds through the Monday after Tournament, Birdies for Children, other designated grants and the PGA TOUR donated their Wednesday Pro-Am purse. The tournament has an impact to our Chapter each year of over $100,000. “We have worked hard to attract a diverse spectator base and were thrilled to see this strategy pay off in the way the community supported this year’s tournament. It was just an incredible week of golf and fun. We look forward to more great events in the years to come so that we can continue to grow upon the impact that we make in this community through our Honda Classic Cares initiative and our charitable giving,” said Honda Classic Executive Director and our Chapter Vice Chairman Kenneth R. Kennerly. The 2019 Honda Classic will be played February 25-March 3, 2019.
