“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to build off the success of the 2013 Hotel Fitness Championship to produce an even better event in 2014,” said Duke Butler IV on behalf of the tournament’s host organization. “As the official proving ground of the PGA TOUR, three out of every four PGA TOUR members have played on the Web.com Tour. Patrons of the Hotel Fitness Championship are guaranteed to see world-class golf that week.” The Hotel Fitness Championship is one of four Web.com Tour Finals events for 2014 that will determine the 50 players who earn cards for the 2014-15 PGA TOUR season under the TOUR's enhanced qualifying system.
“We are proud that so many fans came out to support the inaugural year of the Hotel Fitness Championship, and we look forward to increasing the attendance numbers in 2014,” said Bruce Dye, CEO of Hotel Fitness. “Fort Wayne is a great golf community, and the support of fans is instrumental in creating an exciting atmosphere for the players, TOUR and all supporting parties.”
Players who are eligible for the Hotel Fitness Championship include the top-75 money winners on the Web.com Tour at the conclusion of the Regular Season; players who finish 126-200 on the PGA TOUR's FedExCup points list at the end of the TOUR’s Regular Season; and, any non-members who earn enough points to place them among 126-200 on the FedExCup points list at the end of the Regular Season. All proceeds from the 2014 Hotel Fitness Championship will benefit the Evans Scholars Foundation, which awards full tuition and housing college scholarships to caddies of modest means. “The support of the golf community affords us the tremendous opportunity to award the gift of a college education to deserving caddies,” said John Kaczkowski, WGA president and CEO. “We expect to make a very substantial donation to the Evans Scholars with a successful 2014 Hotel Fitness Championship.” To purchase tickets, visit http://www.hotelfitnesschampionship.com or contact Sally White at (224) 260-3786 or white@wgaesf.org.
