Inaugural Galleri Classic to showcase legends of the game at iconic championship course
After 51 years of hosting the first major of the year, the LPGA Tour left Rancho Mirage for Houston.
With the LPGA TOUR leaving, that opened an opportunity for PGA TOUR Champions and paved the way for the Galleri Classic.
The newest event on the Champions Tour is set to be played from March 24-26 on the iconic Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club.

Deep with Daly! Lot of fun talking with JD tonight at the pairings party for the @ChampionsTour @GalleriClassic. As cool as advertised, really appreciated the time from the 2-time major champ. @williamswes @KESQ @Tarp1969 @Qassignmentdesk @PGATOURComms @PGA_JohnDaly @daly pic.twitter.com/M7Oe0fjq5e
