The Savannah, GA – Hilton Head Island, SC area is already known as a golf haven, but now its profile has increased even further.

Web.com Tour officials have announced that the Savannah Golf Championship will debut next spring.

 


Bullets

  • A 5-year deal has been agreed upon that will bring the tournament to Deer Creek Golf Course at The Landings Club.
  • The course is a 1991 Tom Fazio design. Fazio also headed renovation efforts in 2009.
  • The Landings Club is a private golf community with six golf courses, including Deer Creek, and is conveniently located 20 minutes from historic downtown Savannah.
  • An annual PGA Tour event, the RBC Heritage, is played every April at Harbour Town Golf Links on nearby Hilton Head Island.
  • This year’s RBC winner was Wesley Bryan, who finished #1 on last year’s Web.Com Tour money list.
  • The event will be played March 26 – April 1, 2018 with a field of 156 players. The purse has been set at $550,000.
