The 2018 Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship will be played at Exmoor Country Club in Highland Park, Illinois, July 11-15, marking the first time since 1997 that one of the five senior major championships has been held in the greater Chicago area.

Conducted by the WGA and PGA TOUR Champions, the event will feature a roster of all-time greats in golf, including past Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS champions Jay Haas, Fred Couples, Kenny Perry, Bernhard Langer and 2017 champion Scott McCarron. Other well-known stars competing at Exmoor will be Vijay Singh, John Daly, Colin Montgomerie, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Jeff Sluman and Lee Janzen.

Tickets to the Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship are available now at www.CSPGolf.com. Wednesday, July 11, practice round tickets are $18, and any day tournament round tickets for Thursday-Saturday, July 12-15, are $35. A weekly booklet is $79.

“We’re pleased to be bringing some of the game’s legends to Exmoor and Chicago’s North Shore,” said Vince Pellegrino, WGA senior vice president of tournaments. “We know first-hand how much fans in Chicago love golf, and we’re looking forward to the energy and excitement the 2018 Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship will generate.”

Many of the PGA TOUR Champions stars last played in the Chicago area in the BMW Championship, formerly the Western Open, so fans will have a unique opportunity to see their favorite players compete in a senior major at a classic championship venue.

“Chicago is a key market for Constellation and home to our parent company Exelon,” said Constellation spokesman Bruce Stewart. “The move to Exmoor will enable us to host the championship at another memorable course and share its long tradition of giving back to the communities that we serve with our many customers in the region.”

Exmoor is one of the more storied clubs in the greater Chicago area, with a history dating back to 1896. The club was one of 11 charter clubs that established the WGA in 1899 and is one of just seven WGA founding clubs remaining.

“To have the legends of the game of golf grace us with their presence is a testament to the powerful place that Exmoor Country Club holds in the local community for hosting meaningful and memorable sporting competitions,” said Sandy Stevenson, tournament chairman for the club.

In addition to daily and weekly tickets, several ticket options are available for the Egan Pavilion.

Egan Pavilion

The Egan Pavilion Hospitality tent on the 15th green offers upgraded food and beverages available for purchase inside the venue. This pavilion has tables and open seating available to ticket holders. Children 16 and under do not need a ticket if accompanied by an adult (limit 4 children per adult).

Wednesday (July 11) Egan Pavilion tickets are $23, Any Day Tournament Round (July 12-15) Egan Pavilion tickets are $55, and Weekly Egan Pavilion Booklets are $119.

The Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship has raised more than $11 million for charity since 1992. The WGA-supported Evans Scholars Foundation has been selected as a primary beneficiary of the 2018 Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship.
