The Legends Tour will return to JCB Golf & Country Club in Staffordshire in 2023, with 2011 Open champion Darren Clarke returning as tournament host.
Last year’s JCB Championship proved a hugely popular addition to the Legends Tour calendar, with Alex Cejka securing the title with a two-shot victory over Paul McGinley. The tournament attracted a strong supporting cast list, with major champions Sandy Lyle, José Maria Olazabal, John Daly and tournament host Darren Clarke, who finished third, also in the field for the event.
“I was extremely proud to host The JCB Championship last year for what was a truly fantastic event,” said Clarke. “The JCB Golf & Country Club is a great venue, and we had such a great field in 2022 with so many legends of the game taking part. I am really looking forward to returning in 2023 as host and am grateful to have been given this opportunity again.”
Phil Harrison, chief executive of the Legends Tour, said: “We are thrilled to have secured yet another international event at the JCB Golf & Country Club. It is a truly world-class venue, and this is a great opportunity to showcase the course once again. The 2023 Legends Tour season will be the biggest to date with plenty of new events at top-quality courses and shows our commitment to growing the Tour as a sporting spectacle.”
The tournament takes place from August 3-5.
