HONOLULU (August 31, 2014) – Pacific Links Hawai‘i
will host some of the world’s top golfers at the third
annual Pacific Links Hawai‘i Championship from
September 17 to 21, 2014. The official PGA
Champions Tour event will be held at the award-
winning Kapolei Golf Club on O‘ahu, a par-72
championship course owned and operated by Pacific
Links Hawai‘i.
This year, a full-field of Champions Tour
professionals will compete for a whopping $2.2
million in prize money, with the champion taking
home a $330,000 winner’s purse. In addition to ‘13
champion Mark Wiebe, another stellar field is
expected for the 2014 event. Last year, the Pacific
Links Hawai‘i Championship welcomed rookies Rocco
Mediate and Vijay Singh, World Golf Hall of Famers
Fred Couples, Tom Kite, Nick Price, Hale Irwin, Isao
Aoki and Sandy Lyle, 2013 Charles Schwab Cup
winner Kenny Perry, and current Charles Schwab
Cup leaders Bernhard Langer, Jay Haas, Jeff Sluman
and David Frost. Notable rookies joining the
Champions Tour in 2014 include Davis Love III, Scott
Verplank, Lee Janzen, Jeff Maggert, among others.
“Since our first tournament in 2012, the Pacific
Links Hawai‘i Championship has provided both
players and golf fans with thrilling play and
unforgettable experiences, but its impact off the
fairways has been even more significant,” said Micah
Kane, chief operating officer of Pacific Links Hawai‘i.
“We hope kama‘āina and visitors will join us this year
to cheer on the world’s top golfers, while helping the
Pacific Links Hawai‘i Foundation fulfill its mission of
strengthening the community in which we live and
work.”
All proceeds from the 2014 Pacific Links Hawai‘i
Championship will benefit the Pacific Links Hawai‘i
Foundation – a non-profit organization that helps
cultivate and sustain programs aiding Hawai'i’s
ecosystem, keiki, and culture. With the success of
last year’s tournament, the Pacific Links Hawai‘i
Foundation gifted $200,000, with more than
$100,000 provided to support watershed restoration
and natural resource preservation initiatives on the
Leeward Coast.
The Pacific Links Hawai‘i Championship has become
one of the Tour’s most popular events as players
compete for the coveted Charles Schwab Cup. The
tournament winner, and any player finishing in the
top 10 at the Pacific Links Hawai‘i Championship, will
also earn valuable Charles Schwab Cup points. The
season-long competition, now in its 14th season, is
designed to recognize the Champions Tour’s leading
player, rewarding week-in/week-out consistency in
all official events. Players receive points for top-10
finishes and ties based on each week’s money
distribution, with $1,000 earned being the equivalent
of one Charles Schwab Cup point.
Additionally, the Pacific Links Hawai‘i Championship
week will feature signature sponsor events, local
promotions and live coverage made available to 206
countries and territories and 145 million potential
households around the world via the The Golf
Channel and the Tour’s international partners in Asia,
Europe, Middle East, Latin America and Africa.
Tournament passes are $40 (valid Wednesday
through Sunday); daily tickets are $15 (pre-sale)
and $10 (Wednesday and Thursday) and $20 (Friday
through Sunday) at the gate.
