Quail Hollow Championship earns “Best Of” award at PGA TOUR Tournament Advisory Council Meetings
PGA TOUR event honored for Best In Class
The Quail Hollow Championship was honored by the PGA TOUR at the TOUR’s Tournament Advisory Council (TAC) Meetings this week. The Quail Hollow Championship earned "Best In Class" in 2009 for excellence in all phases of tournament operations and attention to detail in their entire presentation, including fan features such as an autograph section for children by the driving range, special seating only areas around the greens, a first-class recycling program that increased its recycling volume by almost 50% from the previous year and an innovative closed-circuit network around the course displaying leaderboards, sponsor information, tournament trivia and more.
In addition to playing one of the most respected golf courses on TOUR and treating the TOUR players to a first-class experience, the Quail Hollow Championship went above and beyond by offering some of the finest caddie amenities on TOUR and also finished second in voting for Best Tournament Media Operations.
“On behalf of the PGA TOUR, I am thrilled to congratulate the Quail Hollow Championship for the special recognition it has received for its efforts in the area of Best In Class,” said Rick George, PGA TOUR executive vice-president and chief of operations. “Quail Hollow Club should be extremely proud of its hard work and for being recognized as the best among their peers on the TOUR.”
The 2010 Quail Hollow Championship, captured last year by Sean O’Hair, will be held April 26 – May 2 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, NC. The event’s charity proceeds benefit the Teach For America.
"I would like to thank the City of Charlotte who supports us unconditionally," said Quail Hollow Championship Tournament Director Kym Hougham. "Our title sponsor, Wells Fargo, makes all this possible. We also receive tremendous support from all our sponsors, the tournament staff and volunteers. It is very humbling to receive this award."
