Tickets On-Sale Now at www.ChubbClassic.com
NAPLES, Fla., Jan. 22, 2024 – World Golf Hall-of-Famer and two-time defending champion Bernhard Langer, fellow Hall-of-Famers Davis Love III, Colin Montgomerie and 2024 Hall of Fame Inductee Padraig Harrington headline early commitments for the 2024 Chubb Classic presented by SERVPRO, Naples’ flagship PGA TOUR Champions event taking place February 15-18 at Tiburón Golf Club’s Black Course.
Langer, 66, tied Hale Irwin’s PGA TOUR Champions record as the winningest player in PGA TOUR Champions history when he captured his fifth Chubb Classic win and 45th PGA TOUR Champions victory at the 2023 Chubb Classic. He turned in a final-round 7-under 65 to pull away to a three-shot triumph. He captured his record 46th career PGA TOUR Champions win at the U.S. Senior Open in July of last year.
Love, a 21-time PGA TOUR winner, will make his Chubb Classic debut. Love won the 1997 PGA Championship and 1992 and 2003 PLAYERS Championships, and was the winning U.S. Captain at both the Ryder Cup (2016) and Presidents Cup (2022). He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2017.
Harrington, the 2023 Chubb Classic runner-up and a six-time PGA TOUR Champions winner, was selected for the 2024 World Golf Hall of Fame class and will be inducted in June at Pinehurst Resort during the U.S. Open. Harrington, who has amassed 38 professional victories worldwide, is the winner of four major championships: The Open (2007 and 2008), the PGA Championship (2008) and the U.S. Senior Open (2022).
Montgomerie, a seven-time PGA TOUR Champions winner, including three major championships, was a 2013 inductee into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Montgomerie has amassed 54 professional wins worldwide during his Hall-of-Fame career.
These four will be among a 78-player field competing in the 54-hole championship Friday-Sunday, Feb. 16-18, for a share of the $1.8 million purse. Players have until 5 p.m. ET on Feb. 9 to commit to the Chubb Classic. Additional commitments will be announced in the coming weeks leading up to the Feb. 9 deadline. GOLF Channel will televise live all three rounds of play.
