CJ CUP EVENT & COURSE

The CJ Cup is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour. The tournament was played for the first time in October 2017 at the start of the 2017–18 season, and is sponsored by CJ Group.

The first three editions were played at the Nine Bridges Golf Club on Jeju Island, South Korea.In 2020, the tournament was moved to Shadow Creek Golf Course in North Las Vegas, Nevada as part of a Las Vegas Swing in October; the move was due to COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions. In 2021, plans to return to South Korea were abandoned with the tournament remaining in the Las Vegas area, but moving to The Summit Club in Summerlin.

The Summit Club: Enhancing Discovery Land Company’s portfolio of award-winning golf courses across the nation, The Summit Club will offer the pinnacle of golfing in Las Vegas. Using design elements unique to its locale, the 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed course will offer a dramatic and exciting element to the Summerlin experience.

Designed by one of the world’s preeminent golf course designers, Mr. Fazio participates in only the finest projects, including nine of Discovery Land Company’s 18 clubs. In creating his courses, Mr. Fazio honours a commitment to quality as well as the unique character and natural beauty of each setting. He gracefully melds the golf course into the natural terrain to give golfers of all abilities an exciting challenge and a sense of tradition. The 18-hole championship course at Summit will perfectly reflect the Fazio philosophy.

KEITH MITCHELL 33/1

Keith was on all our reports back live this week. For very good reason, just check out some of his stats taken from the PGA Tour:

  • SG – Off the Tee – 4TH
  • Total Driving – 19TH
  • Driving Distance – 10TH
  • GIR – 70%
  • Sand Save – 19TH

So, all boxes ticked for this week, and his form coming in is also positive.

Eighteenth and twelfth place over in Texas last month. He came close to winning at Corales, our team was in his group on the Sunday, and he was unlucky with a few bad breaks, but as for his game it’s on FIRE.

Steve has had a successful season so far, notably performing well at the Sony Open in Hawaii where he nearly won. He showed potential at the Mexico Open as well, as that course was similar to this venue, suggesting that he may have another strong performance here. Currently ranked within the world’s top 50, Steve is emerging as a serious competitor in various tournaments. His consistent strokes gained approach game, complemented by his solid putting skills, make him a strong candidate for a high finish at this event.
