Branson, MO is proud to be hosting an exciting and prestigious sporting event this spring, the PGA Champions Tour Event, otherwise know as the Legends of Golf. The event will be held June 2-8, 2014 at two pristine golf courses in the Branson area, Top of the Rock and Buffalo Ridge. Both courses are a unique and beautiful representation of the ozarks. Top of the Rock is a 9-hole, par-3 course specially designed by Jack Nicklaus for 18 holes of play. Top of the Rock also features a practice facility, putting course and restaurant. Buffalo Ridge is a regulation, 18-hole course featuring natural and man-made hazards and live, roaming buffalo. Buffalo Ridge has been named the number one public golf course in Missouri by GOLF magazine. The tournament will include legendary players like Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Hale Irwin, Gary Player and Lee Trevino. Legends of Golf is not just for golf enthusiasts, but anyone who enjoys the sports of the ozarks. There will be fishing, shooting and other sporting competitions in the days leading up to the tournament. For more information about the Legends of Golf event, contact Trophy Run at 844-538-2413.
Legends of Golf has been hosted in Savannah, Georgia for the past 11 years and this is the first year it will be located in southwest Missouri, but not the last. The PGA has signed an five-year contract for the event to be held in the Branson area.
