Celebrity tournament returns for the sixth year to kick off the LPGA Tour and will feature an exclusive invite-only concert series mixing modern pop and classic rock
Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (NYSE:HGV), the industry-leading global vacation ownership company, announces the return of the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. The highly anticipated tournament taking place in Orlando’s Lake Nona features approximately 50 of the biggest stars in sports, entertainment and music competing with the LPGA Tour’s champions from the previous two seasons. Known for offering once-in-a-lifetime experiences that extend beyond the golf course, the tournament includes a three-night private concert series headlined by Pitbull, Elle King, Styx and REO Speedwagon – an eclectic lineup of artists spanning a diverse range of genres.
Multi-platinum, award-winning recording artist Elle King, recognized for her Grammy-nominated single “Ex’s & Oh’s,” will open the first night of the concert series on Tuesday, Jan. 16. Celebrated for her innovative blend of pop, blues and rock-n-roll, the artist recently released her third studio album “Come Get Your Wife,” signaling an expansion into country. Iconic rock bands Styx and REO Speedwagon will headline the second night of the series on Thursday, Jan. 18 with an electrifying evening of timeless classic rock.
To close out the tournament concert series, Pitbull will take the stage on Saturday, Jan. 20. Pitbull, or famously Mr. Worldwide, rose from Miami to achieve international success as a Grammy award-winning global superstar, education advocate and entrepreneur. With hit songs like “Give Me Everything” and “Timber,” Pitbull uniquely infuses what he calls global music, and has collaborated with some of the most popular artists in the world.
“It’s a great honor to kick off the LPGA season with HGV’s Tournament of Champions, which will surely be four fantastic days of golf,” said Mark Wang, president and CEO of Hilton Grand Vacations. “This tournament is an unparalleled event with the world’s best women golfers competing with the biggest names in sports and entertainment.
