The Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions returns to Orlando next week at the Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, with LPGA pros pairing up with celebrities for a terrific week of golf.
Timeshare Broker Associates is proud to be a sponsor of the event, taking place January 20-23 at the event formerly known as the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions. Remember that Hilton Grand Vacations acquired Diamond last year, so Hilton has assumed the operation of the event and is sure to take it to the next level.
An impressive list of participants is led by the number one player in the world, Nelly Korda, who is also coming off an Olympic Gold Medal win at last year’s Tokyo Games, representing the USA. She’ll be joined by her sister, Jessica Korda, who is the defending champion.
Renowned professionals such as Michelle Wie West and Annika Sorenstam will be playing with current Top 10 players Danielle Kang, Brooke Henderson, Lydia Ko, Inbee Park and Ariya Jutanugarn.
Well known athletes like baseball Hall of Famer John Smoltz, Super Bowl champ Marcus Allen, actor Jack Wagner and Golf Channel’s Blair O’Neal will be teeing it up among the 50 sports and entertainment celebrities in attendance.
“We are thrilled to be able to support such a great sporting event right in our own backyard,” said Jason Connolly, Managing Broker, Timeshare Broker Associates. “I love the game of golf and play as much as I can, but I can only dream about reaching the level of these amazing pros.”
“By continuing with such a high-quality event, Hilton Grand Vacations has once again shown why they are such an important part of the Orlando community, in addition to providing wonderful timeshare vacation experiences.”
As an official event on the LPGA calendar, the pros will be vying for a share of the $1.5million in prize money.
