2010 Ticket and Hospitality Options
GOLF, IL – Amenities for fans at the 2010 BMW Championship – set for Sept. 6-12 at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club in Lemont – will be among the finest offered on the PGA TOUR.
“BMW, the Western Golf Association and Cog Hill Golf & Country Club are committed to making the fan’s visit to the championship enjoyable, informative and entertaining,” noted Vince Pellegrino, WGA vice president of tournaments.
With its commitment to quality on and off the course, the BMW Championship offers top-tier golf competition at affordable prices. BMW Championship fans have the option of purchasing a weekly badge for $150, or “any day” tickets for $45.
An “any day” ticket is good for any one day, Thursday through Sunday. “Any day” practice round tickets are $10 and are good for any one day, Monday through Wednesday. Tickets for the Blackhawks Celebrity-Am, which will be held Monday, Sept. 6, also are only $10.
Two weekly options also are available; the $150 weekly badges allow entrance onto the tournament grounds and clubhouse each day of the tournament, Monday through Sunday. It is the only pass that allows re-entry to the tournament grounds.
The corporate ticket book, at $165, is a weekly option that consists of a total of seven tickets – three tickets good for the practice rounds and four tickets good for any one day of the tournament rounds, Thursday through Sunday.
Premier parking spots also are available Thursday through Sunday. There are only 200 spots per day, at a cost of $25 a day.
From local businesses and to larger corporations, the BMW Championship features an electrifying atmosphere and a one-of-a-kind experience that offers a major return on sponsorship investment.
“Whether you’re catering to a few friends or several hundred important clients, the BMW Championship provides something for every type of business and budget,” Pellegrino said. “Our packages are designed to meet the needs of individuals, small business or large corporations, all with the goal of enhancing the championship experience.”
“And your participation means increased support for the Evans Scholars Foundation, the BMW Championship’s sole beneficiary,” Pellegrino added. “All proceeds from the BMW Championship benefit the Evans Scholars Foundation.”
Last year, the championship raised $1.7 million, affording young men and women caddies the opportunity to earn their college education as Evans Scholars. To purchase tickets and for more information on ticket and all hospitality options visit: www.BMWChampionshipUSA.com or call (847) 724-4600.
