Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Monday, March 2nd, 2015

The Heritage Classic Foundation announced it is adding an additional Pro-Am during tournament week this year. The RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing Pro-Am will be hosted on Wednesday, April 15, at The Club at Savannah Harbor at the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa.

"This additional Pro-Am in Savannah is an opportunity on many levels," said Steve Wilmot, tournament director for the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing. "Not only does it grow the game of golf and expand the reach of the RBC Heritage and partnerships in communities across the region, but it also provides a world-class event to fans in Savannah who previously enjoyed the Legends of Golf Champions Tour event for years. It's a win-win-win."

All spots in the traditional Monday and Wednesday Pro-Ams at Harbour Town Golf Links are sold out for the 47th Annual RBC Heritage.

"Only 18 groups will play in the Savannah-based Pro-Am, so this is also the final opportunity for the public to participate in one of the RBC Heritage Pro-Ams this year," Wilmot said.

The participant fee is $1,500. It includes golf with a PGA TOUR professional competing in the RBC Heritage and a gift package that includes an RBC Heritage ticket package. Proceeds will benefit select Savannah charities.

"We are excited to bring golf, at the highest level, back to Savannah for the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing Pro-Am and look at this as a kickoff to a long-term partnership with the Heritage Classic Foundation,” said Mark Spadoni, Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa general manager.
