The 2014 Allianz Championship, the first full-field PGA Champions Tour event of the season will tee-off with a celebrated roster of golf legends at The Old Course at Broken Sound Club from February 3-9 for the eighth consecutive year in Boca Raton.

Tournament week is jam-packed with interactive “events within the event” before and during championship play with opportunities for “up close and personal” interaction with pros for golf fans of all ages.

As the first in the early-season Florida swing, tournament play will include 2013 defending champion Rocco Mediate, 2012 champion Corey Pavin, 2011 champion Tom Lehman (2011 and 2012 Charles Schwab Cup season-long point’s race winner), 2010 champion Bernhard Langer, Mark Calcavecchia, Fuzzy Zoeller and more, all vying for the winner’s share of a $1.6 million purse. Produced by the nonprofit Boca Raton Champions Golf Charities (BRCGC) board that oversees tournament operations, financials and distribution of all charitable funds, the Allianz Championship will continue to “chip-in” net proceeds to benefit the Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

 In addition to three days of championship play, the Allianz Championship features a Women’s Day event, “Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good” which showcases women’s golf fashion, provides exercises to play better golf and a Clinic & Pro-Am with LGPA legend and eight-time “Player of the Year” Annika Sorenstam; two days of Executive Pro-Am play pairing participants with PGA pros; and the popular and now weekend long Family Fun Zone.

 Tournament Director Ryan Dillon reported the 2013 tournament delivered $15 million in economic impact to the community, drew 69,000 spectators, was viewed by 4.9 million people with all three championship rounds televised live by the Golf Channel, raised $300,000 for the Boca Raton Champions Golf Charities which spreads the monies to the Boca Raton Regional Hospital and many other South Florida charities.

 The following is what’s in-store during tournament week for event-goers, and all events listed will be held at The Old Course at Broken Sound at 1401 NW 51st Street in Boca Raton:
