CLYMER, NY – A major golf tournament is just about ready to tee off in Southwestern Chautauqua County.

The LECOM Health Challenge, Web.com PGA Tour will take place at the Upper Course at the Peek’n Peak Resort in Clymer from Thursday through Sunday.

The tournament marks the return of professional golf to Chautauqua County, and includes a Pro-Am on Wednesday followed by four official rounds of tournament competition on July 7-10. The four-round tournament competition features players who will compete for PGA Tour Cards so they can make their way to golf’s biggest stage.

“This is the PGA. That’s what this is,” explained County Executive Vince Horrigan during a recent WRFA interview. “With the PGA comes $6 million of investment, 85,000 visitors, hotel rooms, and notoriety for Chautauqua County, so we’re very excited about this.”

The rounds begin on Thursday and Friday at 7:30 a.m. and on Saturday and Sunday at 8 a.m.

Tickets are $25 for 4-day general admission or $10 per day.

In addition, Thursday will also be Military, Veterans, and First Responders Appreciation Day at the tournament and upon presenting a valid ID at check-in all current military members, veterans, first responders and their spouses will receive free admission.  They will also be treated to a complimentary lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the 18th Fairway Tent on the Upper Course.

According to county officials, the LECOM Health Challenge will bring national and international exposure to Chautauqua County and the surrounding region, via a four-day telecast on the Golf Channel.  It is projected to have a direct economic impact of $5 to 6 million on the area.
