The World Champions Cup returns in December with a new sponsor and course.
The PGA Tour Champions event will be held Dec. 4-7 at Feather Sound Country Club in Clearwater, Florida. On Monday, Skechers was named the title sponsor and the official shoe of the event and the tournament has been rebranded as the Skechers World Champions Cup supporting Shriners Children’s.
The Skechers World Champions Cup supporting Shriners Children’s is a three-team, three-day competition contested across nine-hole matches featuring team formats and singles play, with points being earned for each hole won in each of the event’s 24 matches.
The event, inspired by the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup, features three teams — International, USA, and Europe — and debuted in 2023 in Bradenton. It was postponed in 2024 due to weather-related concerns.
“The Skechers World Champions Cup supporting Shriners Children’s featured incredible competition in its first year, and it was obvious from Day 1 how badly the players wanted to win and how they embraced the team format,” said Peter Jacobsen, Tournament Chairman for the Skechers World Champions Cup supporting Shriners Children’s. “Building on the momentum from the inaugural event, Skechers, Shriners Children’s and Feather Sound are ideal partners to elevate the event and truly solidify it as a must-see global golf tournament.”
Feather Sound, a par-72, 7,332-yard private course, is one of the most challenging layouts in the Tampa Bay area and is centrally located between Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Tampa, adjacent to Carillon Park. Last year, Feather Sound hosted the Aramco Team Series, sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour.
ABC and ESPN will serve as the exclusive television homes of the Skechers World Champions Cup. Coverage will air on ESPN on Thursday, December 4 and Friday, December 5, as well as on ABC on Sunday, December 7.
