Black Desert Championship: PGA Tour Returns to Utah After 60-Year Hiatus

Attention, golf aficionados and casual fairway enthusiasts alike! The PGA Tour is making a triumphant return to Utah after a 60-year hiatus, and boy, is it coming back with a bang! Get ready to witness history at the inaugural Black Desert Championship in Ivins, where the spirit of the Beehive State meets world-class golf!

Picture this: a Tom Weiskopf masterpiece stretching 7,371 yards of pure golfing nirvana, nestled among black lava fields that look like they're straight out of a sci-fi movie. It's like golf meets Star Wars, minus the lightsabers (though we'd pay good money to see that mashup). And at 3,000 feet above sea level, these pros might just hit the ball into orbit! Who needs a space program when you've got golf clubs, am I right?

But wait, there's more! We've got a veritable who's who of Utah golf royalty in the field. Nine – count 'em, NINE – golfers with local ties are ready to make the home crowd go wild. Keep your eyes peeled for:

• Zac Blair and Patrick Fishburn, the dynamic BYU duo, fresh off their tag-team heroics at the Zurich Classic. These boys are hotter than a

• in a Utah summer!

• Jay Don Blake, the 65-year-old wonder from St. George, making his 500th PGA Tour start. Someone get this man a cake... and maybe some Ben-Gay!

• Mike Weir, the former Masters champ who's traded his green jacket for the comfy confines of Park City. Will the mountain air give him an extra edge?

Now, if you're thinking this is just another golf tournament, think again! We've got more drama than a telenovela marathon:

• FedExCup Fall implications? You bet your lucky golf ball!

• The Aon Next 10 battle royale? It's heating up faster than the lava fields! Players ranked 51-60 in FedExCup standings after the Fall series will earn spots in two early 2025 Signature Events.

• Rising stars like Kevin Yu and Michael Thorbjornsen looking to make their mark? They're here and they're hungry!

And let's not forget about Chris Kirk, the lone wolf from the 2024 Tour Championship, ready to show these youngsters how it's done. Plus, keep an eye out for Beau Hossler, Keith Mitchell, and the comeback kid, Daniel Berger!

The best part? This course is brand spanking new to the Tour. It's like watching a bunch of cats trying to navigate a room full of cucumbers – hilarious, unpredictable, and utterly captivating!

So, whether you're a die-hard golf fanatic or just looking for an excuse to day-drink on a weekday, the Black Desert Championship has got you covered. Come for the golf, stay for the breathtaking views, and who knows? You might just witness the birth of a Utah golfing legend!
