(All of the previous Champions events in Newport Beach have been 54-hole tournaments.)<\/p>\n<p>The Hoag Senior Players will become one of five major championships on PGA Tour Champions, joining the Senior PGA Championship, the Regions Tradition, the U.S. Senior Open and the Senior (British) Open. The new Champions major at Newport Beach Country Club replaces Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio, which has hosted the Senior Players since 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The tour and Eagle Four Partners, a private equity firm in Newport Beach that owns NBCC, signed a five-year agreement that will keep the Champions tournament at Newport Beach Country Club through 2031. Hoag became the title sponsor for the event in 2018 after longtime sponsor Toshiba withdrew its financial support. The Champions event began in 1995 at Mesa Verde Country Club in Costa Mesa before moving to Newport Beach CC in 1996.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHoag has been an incredible partner \u2026 and we are excited to usher in this new era of the Senior Players Championship here,\u201d PGA Tour Champions president Miller Brady said at Tuesday\u2019s news conference. \u201cThe Hoag Classic has long been a best-in-class event on the Champions Tour, and it\u2019s great to know we will be adding to that legacy with a senior major starting in 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=9665\">Derwin James Jr., Chargers agree to 3-year, $75.6M extension<\/a><\/p>\n<p>World\u00a0Golf Hall of Famer Fred Couples, a two-time Hoag Classic winner (2010, 2014) with six top-five finishes at NBCC, was on hand for the announcement and predicted his fellow Champions colleagues will be excited about the new major status and expanding the event to 72 holes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is, by far, the best tournament on the Champions Tour,\u201d said Couples, 66, an honorary member at NBCC and a resident of nearby Corona del Mar. \u201cIt\u2019s a very special course, and I\u2019m more attached to this tournament than any other on tour. I don\u2019t play as much out here (on tour) anymore, but I think I can still compete against the best at this course. I think I can still win here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Senior Players Championship, which has been owned and operated by the PGA Tour since its inception in 1983, will now be operated by HNS Sports Group, which has managed operations for the Hoag Classic since 2000 and overseen the tournament in its entirety since 2024.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Senior Players Championship has been contested at some of the nation\u2019s top venues over the years, including Westchester Country Club in New York, Baltimore Country Club, the Philadelphia Cricket Club, Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland and Firestone Country Club in Ohio. Soon, Newport Beach Country Club will add its name to the storied list.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=9663\">Mookie Betts homers twice as Dodgers rout Rockies, but Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez is headed to IL<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The annual event at Newport Beach Country Club, the longest-running tournament at the same site on the 50-and-over PGA Tour Champions, is being elevated to a major championship beginning in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9667,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-based-on-facts-either-observed-and-verified-directly-by-the-reporter-or-reported-and-verified-from-knowledgeable-sources","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
