GREENBRIER PGA CLASSIC

Yuengling recently participated as a sponsor of the 1st Annual Greenbrier PGA Classic tournament in White Sulphur Springs, WV. PGA golfers from around the world traveled to West Virginia to compete in this Fed Ex points event at the Greenbrier Resort. Competitors included Stewart Applebee, Sergio Garcia, John Daily, Davis Love III, Jim Furyk and more!

The Greenbrier is an award winning resort founded in 1778 and actually has 4 championship golf courses on the property! Jim Justice acquired the resort in 2009 and felt that since the first lynx course in America was on the Greenbrier property, it was time to return to the grass roots of what made not only this resort famous but also to give back to the community. This event was also a great opportunity to show the rest of the world this hidden gem in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia. Mr. Justice made sure that attendees of the event were entertained nightly by booking national music acts for a series of concerts throughout the event. Performances by Reba McIntyre, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, and Brad Paisley were enjoyed by all!

Attendees enjoyed Yuengling products throughout the 4 day event and we thank Mr. Justice for hosting!
