GWINNETT, METRO ATLANTA - Tournament officials have announced this year’s schedule of events for the seventh-annual Mitsubishi Electric Classic. From April 15-21, attendees can enjoy a variety of on-site events and activities, in addition to the thrilling tournament action, to make up another exciting week at TPC Sugarloaf.

To kick off the tournament is the first Stewart Cink Monday Pro-Am presented by TransAmerica. In this Monday morning pro-am, participants will be paired with a PGA TOUR Champions professional for 18 holes of golf. Proceeds will benefit Cink Charities, Gwinnett Medical Center’s NICU and Breast Cancer Center and Obria Medical Clinics of Georgia.

Later that morning, Executive Women’s Day sponsored by Fiserv will be setting an inspirational tone with a day-long celebration of the power and accomplishments of women in Metro Atlanta. Executive Women’s Day will feature a panel discussion, keynote speaker and lunch at the Infinite Energy Forum before concluding at TPC Sugarloaf with the interactive Wine Down sponsored by Primerica.

The Maxwell Leadership Pro-Am on Wednesday and Thursday is a great opportunity for fans to grab a front row seat and watch some of the top pros team up with amateur foursomes to compete for the best ball in a five-player team format. When this exclusive, two-day match is over, fans can get autographs from their favorite athletes.

The Mitsubishi Electric Classic doesn’t just provide guests with a PGA TOUR Champions event, but a complete fan-centered experience with the highest level of hospitality. When the main event begins on Friday, spectators will view the action on the beautifully remodeled field and new front-nine holes, the newly renovated Pines Course. Fans will watch the pros compete on TPC Sugarloaf’s latest addition for the first time, while enjoying an endless array of concession options. In the hospitality village behind the 18th green, guests can relax with signature cocktails from the Ketel One Lounge, sample tasty treats or shop exclusive inventory from top vendors and restaurant partners Wednesday – Sunday. These hand-crafted cocktails and fine dining options are only part of the luxury culinary experience at TPC Sugarloaf. Additional concession locations are available to the general public on holes 4 and 13 Wednesday and Thursday, and holes 4, 8, 10, 13, 16, and 17 Friday – Sunday.

Guests can head to the Adaptive Golf Clinic in partnership with Georgia State Golf Association on Friday, located in the TPC Sugarloaf Practice Area. This complimentary, all-inclusive community program offers techniques and resources to help anyone up their game.

Full of on-site activities for families and kids, there is something for everyone at this all-inclusive event. Packed with kid-friendly fun, the weekend will feature Kid’s Day presented by PGA TOUR Superstore and the Youth Skills Challenge on Saturday. Easter activities, including a petting zoo, will take place Sunday on the clubhouse lawn.

The unique Cologuard Celebrity Challenge on Saturday morning places celebrities in the heat of the action during the second round of competition at the Mitsubishi Electric Classic. This year’s special guests include Peerless Price, Kent Bazemore and Vince Carter, who will be competing alongside the professionals for the Cooper Cup and to benefit local charities.
