PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Last week we welcomed Ryan Hart and Andy Carroll, Tournament Directors of The Player's Championship. During a "fireside chat" style presentation, they spoke to us of the positive impact the tournament has on our city with an attendance of over 200,000 people. Since 1977, TPC has also raised over 100 million for local charities! Mr. Hart and Mr. Carroll spoke of the exciting new aspects they have added, including mobile ticketing and a partnership with Uber. This year, The Player's Championship begins on Tuesday, March 10. I would like to encourage you all to attend and show your support for this great event in our hometown!
