Our picks for the best tournaments this summer for chartering a private jet
The golfing world is gearing up for an unforgettable year as the top PGA tournaments of 2024 promise to deliver unparalleled excitement, skill, and competition.
Casual fans may only know of such tournaments as The Masters and the U.S. Open, but there are several other tournaments to enjoy across the country this year. Let’s take a swing into the heart of these prestigious events and then contact our flight coordinators to plan your weekend on the course.
The Players Championship: Mastering TPC Sawgrass (March 14–17, 2024)
Kicking off the trio of top-notch tournaments is The Players Championship, slated to unfold in March at the illustrious TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
This tournament earns its reputation as the “fifth major” due to the high level of competition it attracts and the challenging nature of the course. The infamous 17th hole, known for its island green, adds a thrilling dimension to the event, testing the nerves and precision of even the most seasoned players.
TPC Sawgrass demands nothing less than perfection from every golfer. In a tournament known for its unpredictable outcomes, The Players Championship is a must-watch for enthusiasts and casual fans alike. We like Craig Municipal Airport (KCRG) for arrival on the east side of Jacksonville and a quick commute to the links.
RBC Heritage: The Hilton Head Classic (April 18–21, 2024)
With tickets to The Masters Tournament famously hard to come by, consider the following week’s tournament in South Carolina more laid back and accessible. The RBC Heritage is one of only five “invitational” tournaments on the PGA Tour, which features a more compact field playing for their share of a $20 million prize fund.
The Heritage is held every year at the famous Harbour Town Golf Links, designed by renowned course architect Pete Dye, at the Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island. This location gives tournament spectators proximity to Savannah, Georgia, just 20 miles down the coast. Or choose to maximize your time on the island by flying into Hilton Head Airport (KHXD).
PGA Championship: Valhalla’s Battle Cry (May 16–19, 2024)
Rounding out the trio of stellar tournaments is the PGA Championship, scheduled for May at the formidable Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. This championship consistently attracts a field of the world’s best golfers, each eager to add their name to the Wanamaker Trophy.
With its undulating fairways and challenging hazards, the Valhalla course tests the mettle of even the most seasoned professionals. Marvel at the strategic shot-making, nerve-wracking putts, and the kind of golfing prowess that separates champions from contenders.
For arrival and departure, we recommend Bowman Field (KLOU) on the east side of Louisville as a quieter alternative to Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.
Spring is Almost Here
These 2024 PGA tournaments promise golfing spectacles like no other. From the unpredictable challenges of TPC Sawgrass to the fierce competition at Valhalla Golf Club, each event is a unique chapter in the history of the sport.
