A top-notch venue and winner’s payout

The 2023 event will mark the 10th edition of the Mitsubishi Electric Classic, and it promises to be a thrilling competition for both players and spectators. The competition will be held at the TPC Sugarloaf, a beautiful and challenging course that has hosted the event since its inception in 2013.

The tournament organizers have gone above and beyond to entice the best senior golfers globally, increasing the purse size by $200,000 from last year’s $1.8 million. The winner’s share has also been made more appealing for players by bumping it up from $270,000 to $300,000.

Top contenders and exciting prospects

The Mitsubishi Electric Classic boasts a rich history dating back to its inaugural edition in 2013, won by Bernhard Langer. The upcoming tournament is set to take place at TPC Sugarloaf in Georgia. TPC Sugarloaf has hosted a PGA Tour event in the past, just one week before the Masters. Senior golf fans can expect to see some of the biggest names in golf, such as Bernhard Langer, Vijay Singh, and Ernie Els, compete against one another. Scott McCarron has won both the PGA Tour event at Sugarloaf in 1997 and 2001, as well as the PGA Tour Champions event in 2019 and stands as a top contender.

Steve Stricker is another player to watch, having finished as a runner-up in the Insperity Invitational and returned to the top of the Schwab Cup standings. He has performed remarkably well in all six of his PGA Tour Champions starts this year, finishing in the top 10 every time. Besides the purse and payouts, the Mitsubishi Electric Classic also presents an opportunity for players to tackle one of the most challenging courses on the PGA Tour Champions calendar. The TPC Sugarloaf course is renowned for its undulating greens, tight fairways, and challenging bunkers that will test the players’ skills and abilities.
