It’s a new era. The Hoag Classic golf tournament takes place March 6 - 10 at Newport Beach Country Club. Each year, this tournament raises in excess of $1 million for local charities, making it the most successful event for the PGA Tour Champions. This year will be no different, as golfers from around the globe will come to Newport Beach to play in our event. Names include Fred Couples, John Daly, Bernhard Langer, Mark O’Meara and Colin Montgomerie. The week kicks off with Womanology on Monday, a program “leading guests on a journey to better health and enhancing their well-being.” Tuesday is Breakfast with a Champion. This year it’s Darren Clarke. With a Q & A, you’ll get an inside look at Clarke and his career in golf like you’ve never experienced before. Wednesday and Thursday is the Legends Pro-Am.

Newport Beach is a destination, so while we’re sending our families off to the slopes, families from outlying cities are coming here.
