 SPONSORS PGA TOUR CHAMPIONS EVENT

Luxury Lake Oconee Real Estate Group was pleased to be an exhibition sponsor at the PGA TOUR Champions Mitsubishi Electric Classic and the Stewart Cink Pro-Am at Sugarloaf Country Club in Duluth, Ga., from May 1-7, 2023. This year’s 78-player field includes golfing greats such as  Nick Faldo, Jim Furyk, Notah Begay III, Stuart Appleby, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen, K.J. Choi, David Duval, Darren Clarke, Miguel Ángel Jimenez, Bernhard Langer, Rocco Mediate and Jose Maria Olazabal.

“We are very happy to support The Mitsubishi Electric Classic to benefit local charities including Special Needs Schools of Gwinnett and the Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation. We had a fun week and got to see a lot of great golf," said Ted Baker, Managing Broker of Luxury Lake Oconee Real Estate Group.

The 54-hole tournament featured 78 PGA TOUR Champions professionals vying for a $2 million prize purse, as well as the opportunity to boost their standing in the Charles Schwab Cup points list. The 2023 champion, Stephen Ames, joins past champions Steve Flesch (2022, 2018); Dicky Pride (2021); Scott McCarron (2019); Stephen Ames (2017); Woody Austin (2016); Olin Browne (2015); Miguel Ángel Jiménez (2014); and World Golf Hall of Famer Bernhard Langer (2013).

“The Mitsubishi Electric Classic brings golf legends and exceptional play to Duluth, but it’s always been more than a golf tournament to us,” says Mike Corbo, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc. “Contributing to vibrant and sustainable communities is a big part of our company’s vision. We are proud to be able to do that through the charitable giving of the tournament, in a community we are so invested in.”

In 2022, the tournament raised and donated $558,270 to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Special Needs Schools of Gwinnett and a number of other local charities. To date, the tournament has generated more than $3.6 million in charitable giving.
