The Ginn Championship in Palm Coast, Florida

On March 24-30, 2008, the Ginn Championship returns to the Jack Nicklaus design Ocean Course in Palm Coast and Flagler County. The Championship will once again feature one of the largest purses on the Champions Tour at $2.5. In its inaugural year, the Championship quickly became one of the most anticipated stops on Tour.
Like in the year 2007, when the Championship raised $250,000 for local charities, in 2008 the Ginn Resorts and the Champions Tour are committed to giving back to the community. A portion of all ticket sales will once again benefit local charities in the community of Palm Coast and Flagler County! Tickets start as low as $10!
