Champions Tour Chubb Classic Comes to Naples

Chubb Classic

It's golf season.  Technically, it's always golf season in Southwest Florida. But this week the Champion's Tour Chubb Classic  comes to Tiburon in Naples.  This year's field features one of the best fields ever.  The lineup is full of Hall of Famers, Major Champions, and some of the biggest names in golf!  This will take place at Tiburon Golf Club's Black Course.  This will be the event's 37th year.

Not only do locals and people from all over the world enjoy golf in Southwest Florida, but people down here watch golf.  A lot!  The local TV market almost always finishes in the top 2 TV markets when it comes to golf ratings, especially with the bigger events.  By the way, you can watch the Chubb on the Golf Channel.  If you happen to be outside the country then you can stream on Peacock.

CHUBB CLASSIC

Thursday will feature the Pro-Am and then the three round event takes place Friday through Sunday.  Meanwhile, Craig Shemon and Company will be broadcasting live from Tiburon on Thursday afternoon with key interviews and talking about the events of the day.  It promises to be a glorious day.
