Following three days of international competition, the 23RD annual John Deere World Championship recently came to an exciting close with the Frontier Ag & Turf team claiming the victory. Held in December at La Quinta Resort & Club in La Quinta, Calif., the tournament featured 68 teams from around the globe competing in a scramble format divided among six handicapped flights. The tournament was played alternately on several courses including the Celebrity and Players Courses at Indian Wells Golf Resort, La Quinta Resort Mountain Course, and TPC Stadium Course at PGA WEST.
John Deere Golf distributor Frontier Ag & Turf walked away as champions after defeating six flight-winning teams in a three-hole playoff round. Larry Gorman hosted the winning team that included Erin McManus of Medina Golf & Country Club, Dale Heibert of Rush Creek Golf Club, and Chris Goodwick of Wild Rock Golf Club. The foursome birded the final two holes of the playoff to claim the championship.
The John Deere World Championship tournament is designed for members of golf course management teams across the globe to come together for fun competitive play.
