Ranger-Built Course To Host PGA Event
(July 2004)
| |
 |
| |
The Tournament Players Club
(TPC) of Boston is hosting an officially sanctioned PGA Tour event later
this year. |
Who knows more about golf than the PGA
Tour?
So when the Vecellio Group's
Ranger Golf was chosen to build
the Tournament Players Club of Boston, part of a nationwide network of
world-class TPC courses owned or operated by the PGA Tour, it was a huge feather
in Ranger’s cap.
Now it’s time to add a few more
feathers. Completed in 2001, the highly acclaimed TPC of Boston is the site of
the second annual Deutsche Bank Championship, an officially sanctioned PGA Tour
event with a $5 million total purse.
The nationally televised event
showcases the beauty of the Arnold Palmer-designed course, built by Ranger Golf
to complement and protect the surrounding environmentally sensitive lands.
The Deutsche Bank Championship held its
inaugural event at the TPC of Boston in 2003, less than two years after
construction, a rarity in the golfing world. It drew many of the PGA’s most
talented golfers, who vied for the $900,000 first-place prize money.
The 2004 event is scheduled for August
31 through September 6 (Labor Day). Defending champion is Scott Adams, who
notched his first Tour win at the 2003 event.
The field again will feature many of
the Tour’s leading players, with charitable proceeds benefiting the Tiger Woods
Foundation.
“Any time one of the courses we’ve
built hosts a PGA event it is a huge compliment,” said Jade Work, V.P. of Ranger
Golf and a former professional golfer himself. “That’s one of the most sincere
compliments we can receive about the quality of our construction work.”
The option exists for the TPC of Boston
to host the Deutsche Bank Championship for an additional two years, extending
through Labor Day 2006, according to Tour officials.
The TPC of Boston is a private course
located in the Great Woods of Norton, Massachusetts.
