The Viking Classic, held in Madison, MS, was honored by the PGA TOUR at the TOUR’s Tournament Advisory Committee (TAC) Meetings this week. The Viking Classic earned the award for “Best Title Sponsor Integration” in 2008, given to the tournament that best melds the title sponsor's product with that of the PGA TOUR.
The theme at the 2008 Viking Classic was “Professional Cooking meets Professional Golf.” The tournament had celebrity chef demonstrations throughout the week, awarded a Viking kitchen valued at $50,000, with proceeds going directly to the tournament’s charity, Friends of Children's Hospital.
Milestone supporters, brothers Kent and Kevin Rathbun, were featured at the 2008 Viking Classic.
