Now on the tee box, a 8 handicap bogey golfer, winner of multiple 3rd place scrambles, winner of multiple Father/Son-in-Law matches… Gary Henderson. I dream of having a “welcome” first tee announcer. I cannot begin to express how excited I am to live in a region that has a professional golf tournament tour stop! As an avid fan and golfer myself I was so excited to get the opportunity to meet & talk with the team involved with this huge event. Back in 2020 when the Korn Ferry Tour announced that Huntsville, AL was going to be home to a stop on their tour the entire golf world took note… including me. With the amazing growth, premium golf courses, and phenomenal community it only made sense that we host a stop for the future PGA Tour Pros. But first & foremost… GET YOUR TICKETS TODAY 🙂
“We’re thrilled to be welcoming fans back to the HomeTown Lenders Championship for the third year in a row,” said Tournament Director Justin Belanger. “The tournament brings premier golf to Huntsville and allows community members to see the future stars of the PGA TOUR right here in their backyard. The atmosphere of the Championship has something for every member of the family, regardless of how closely they follow golf. We can’t wait to see everyone up on the mountain.”
Huntsville is one of 26 international cities hosting a Korn Ferry Tour stop on the 2023 schedule. In 2013, the Korn Ferry Tour became The Path to the PGA TOUR. Those who are on the top 30 of the points list at year’s end are given PGA TOUR memberships for the next season. Notable PGA TOUR players who started on the Korn Ferry Tour include major champions Justin Thomas, Harrison Endycott, Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris.
