Come February the eyes of golf will fall on Southern Arizona. The
Gallery at Dove Mountain is the new home of the World Golf Championships
– Accenture
Match Play Championship. The world’s top 64 golfers will try
to etch their names in the history book of this exciting tournament.
Billed as the cornerstone of the World
Golf Championships, the five-day tournament will take place
in Marana – just north of Tucson – for the first time,
February 19-25, and features a $7.5 million purse. Regional and
local charities such as The First Tee program will also benefit.
Headlining this event will be the best golf has to offer. Pros
like Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson and defending champion
Geoff Ogilvy will go head-to-head at The
Gallery at Dove Mountain’s
South Course with 60 other golfers in a match-play event
that has produced a bevy of unpredictable finishes and intense drama
since it began in 1999.
