Chubb Classic Finds Familiar Home in Naples

2019 Event will be held at The Classics Country Club at Lely Resort, home of the 1996 tournament

Naples, Fla. – Tournament officials announce today, the Chubb Classic, an official PGA Tour Champions event will return to The Classics Country Club at Lely Resort in 2019. The tournament will take place February 11 – 17, 2019.

“Over the years, the Chubb Classic has become a cannot-miss event for the Southwest Florida community,” said Tournament Director, Kevin Diaz. “We couldn’t be more excited to announce our new home – the players are going to love coming back here to compete in February.”

The Classics course, a par 72, 6,714-yard championship layout, designed by Grand Slam winner Gary Player, showcases the scenic beauty native to Southwest Florida, and serves as the centerpiece of the Classics Country Club at Lely Resort. Six years after the inception of the course, in 1996, The Classics Country Club hosted the tournament and was won by the legendary Al “Mr. 59” Geiberger.

“We are very familiar with the event – it has been a huge part of Naples for a very long time,” said Regional Manager David Leverant. “It is a fun and positive event for our community and thrilled for the opportunity to partner with the Chubb Classic and the PGA Tour Champions.”

The Tournament is the longest-standing event in any one market on the PGA Tour Champions schedule and annually attracts a strong field of competitors from the Official Money List and legends from the World Golf Hall of Fame. In addition to the Tournament, the event features several special events throughout the week – the Taste of SW Florida, the Golf to Paradise – First Tee Champions Challenge and Subway® Family Putt for Dough.
