The Viking Classic, Mississippi’s premiere professional sporting event, is pleased to announce that the PGA TOUR has granted the event a new date for 2009. Next year’s event will be held October 26 – November 1, 2009, in a stand alone position on the PGA TOUR schedule.
“We are so pleased that the PGA TOUR thought so highly of the Viking Classic and its past success that it decided to award our tournament a new date,” said Randy Watkins, Viking Classic Tournament Director. “Being an unencumbered tournament will attract much more attention from the golf community around the world, which will only increase the excitement and success of the Viking Classic.”
The Viking Classic earned this stand alone date based on its success over the past two years and its storied history.
