Scottsdale National Golf Club Gears Up for Commander-in-Chief’s Cup After Hurricane Milton Disruption

In a remarkable twist of events, the annual Commander-in-Chief’s Cup is making its way to Scottsdale National Golf Club this year from October 13-15, after a sudden change of venue due to Hurricane Milton’s unexpected disruption. Originally slated to take place at Seminole Golf Club in Florida, the tournament shifted locations faster than anyone could have anticipated.

This year’s host, Scottsdale National, is not just any golf club, but home to the renowned PXG brand founded by a proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran. With the storm causing havoc in Florida, the club quickly stepped up to ensure the tournament could proceed without a hitch. Playing host to this prestigious event is a testament to the community’s resilience and spirit of collaboration.

A Tournament with a Noble Purpose

The Commander-in-Chief’s Cup is no ordinary golf tournament; it showcases the best collegiate teams from the Army, Navy, and Air Force. These student-athletes are not just dueling it out on the green, but also embody a commitment to golf, academics, and military service. Last year, excitement was in the air when the U.S. Military Academy triumphed over Navy in a nail-biting playoff at The Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. This year promises an equally thrilling matchup, as teams display their skills and sportsmanship.

What makes Scottsdale National’s participation even more special is the unique layout of the course called The Other Course. This remarkable layout consists of six par 3s, six par 4s, and six par 5s – making for a compelling challenge for the golfers participating. It’s a setup that not only tests skill but also provides a captivating experience for fans and participants alike.

A Quick and Decisive Venue Change

Support for the Military Community

PXG has been a long-time advocate for military programs, offering resources and custom-fitted clubs to those who serve. With its “PXG for Heroes” program, special pricing and exclusive experiences are available for members of the U.S. Armed Forces, law enforcement, and first responders. Such initiatives reflect the brand’s unwavering commitment to honoring the sacrifices made by those in uniform, and the Commander-in-Chief’s Cup is no exception to this principle.

Expressing Gratitude

As preparations ramp up for the tournament, it’s worth noting the camaraderie behind the scenes. Bob Parsons took a moment to express heartfelt gratitude towards Callaway’s CEO for their support of the event. While it’s common for businesses in the golf industry to be in competition, situations like these highlight the importance of coming together in times of difficulty.

As Scottsdale National Golf Club gets ready to welcome this esteemed tournament, all eyes will be on the talented student-athletes. Their hard work, dedication, and passion for the game are sure to shine brightly, offering a moment to celebrate not just golf, but the very values that unite our military community. With the excitement building, it looks like the Commander-in-Chief’s Cup will be the place to be this October!
