(PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.) – PGA National Resort & Spa – South Florida’s world-class golf, vacation and spa destination – announces two exceptional golf packages for spring getaways following the wildly successful Honda Classic recently played on its Champion Course. Propelled by the return of local resident Tiger Woods, and the drama of the world’s best players taking on The Champion Course’s famous three-hole Bear Trap (Nos. 15 – 17), the 2018 Honda Classic shattered its attendance record by attracting 224,642 spectators during a week of perfect South Florida weather. Additionally, CBS posted the highest viewership and ratings for the tournament in five years as Justin Thomas won the event in a dramatic playoff. For guests interested in tackling the famed Champion Course and mighty Bear Trap just like the world’s best players, the Champion Package is the quintessential option. Beginning at $399 through April 30 (per person, per night, double occupancy), the offer is highlighted by one round of golf daily on The Champion as well as luxury accommodations with private balcony or terrace and full breakfast each day in the Palm Terrace.
