The 2008 PGA TOUR Wives Golf Classic moved back to Florida for the first time in 20 years and was held on Tuesday, February 26 on the beautiful Haig Course at PGA National during The Honda Classic. This fun-filled 9-hole scramble featured PTWA members hitting the links while their professional golfer partners caddied for them. Special rules applied so that even non-golfers were comfortable on the course. Despite a rain delay, the players completed their nine holes with a lot of laughter and fun.
Tournament Director Amy Quigley did a tremendous job organizing this event and, at the end of the day, $85,000 was raised for our charities.
Thanks to our many sponsors and supporters, listed below, for making this event such a great success. Special thanks to Ken Kennerly and Ed McEnroe, from The Honda Classic; to Ed Lynch and his staff from Sentient Jet; to Monty Foster and Sally Sevareid, better known as Mo & Sally from kool105.5 for their participation and incredible promotion of our event; and, lastly, but certainly not least, to all of our players and their husbands who gave up their afternoon to support this fundraiser.
