  • Club Car Championship at the Landings Club Welcomes HNS Sports Group As New Owner/Operator
    For Immediate Release June 29, 2021 Club Car Championship at The Landings Club welcomes HNS Sports Group as new owner/operator Tournament will now operate all financials through 501 c 3 Non-Profit, Tournaments for Charity SAVANNAH, Georgia – Officials from the Korn Ferry Tour and HNS Sports Group announced today that the Club Car Championship at The Landings Club, an official event on the Korn Ferry Tour, contested annually at The Landings Club in Savannah, Georgia, is now owned and operated by HNS Sports Group, an Ohio based LLC specializing in golf. HNS Sports Group brings more than 150 years of collective experience to the event that began in 2018 as the Savannah Golf Championship and has quickly become a player favorite on the Korn Ferry Tour. “HNS Sports Group has a longstanding history in the golf industry, and we’re excited to have them oversee the Club Car Championship at The Landings Club, which has quickly emerged as one of the premier events on our tour,” said Korn Ferry Tour President Alex Baldwin. “They bring a wealth of experience in tournament management and will continue elevating the event moving forward.” The tournament is also deeply ingrained in the greater Savannah community. In 2019, The Landings Military Family Relief Fund, one of the charities that annually benefits from the Club Car Championship, was named as recipient of the Korn Ferry Tour’s Charity of the Year award. The Fund helped the tournament launch a successful Military Appreciation Day, which has now become a defining initiative for the event. “HNS is excited for the opportunity to contribute to the continued growth of the Club Car Championship at The Landings Club,” said Dan Sullivan, president and managing partner of HNS Sports Group.

He was 91. Prior to his death, Popp was the fourth longest serving PGA Member at 71 years. Born Feb. 9, 1929, in Belleville, Illinois, Popp grew up into a golf family, and took his first job at his father Ted’s nine-hole Oak Hill Golf Course, which featured sand greens. “Dad said they used to save old motor oil and mix it with sand on the greens,” said Bob Popp Jr., the oldest of Popp’s two sons. “That combination made for a slick putting surface.” Popp competed on the PGA Tour for four seasons, primarily during the “West Coast Swing,” and recorded 17 lifetime holes-in-one.
