PGA National Announces 'Own The Champion Course for a Day'
Few layouts have a golf history as storied as the Champion Course. In addition to the Honda Classic, its impressive resume includes hosting the 1983 Ryder Cup, 1987 PGA Championship, nearly two decades of the Senior PGA Championship and this year's final stage of the Web.com Q-school.
