Wednesday, Nov. 7 | 7:00am-3:00pm | TPC Louisiana
Cost: $135 Per Person | $500 Per Foursome | Limited Availability
Exclusive sponsorship opportunities available
Join us on Wednesday, November 7 for our 15th annual Golf Classic at TPC Louisiana. AB Show's Golf Classic is where attendees, exhibitors and AB staff enjoy a day of golf and camaraderie, all while testing their mettle on one of Louisiana's best golf courses.
TPC Louisiana, site of the PGA tour's Zurich Classic of New Orleans, is consistently included in GolfWeek's “Best Courses You Can Play.” The breathtaking scenery stretches over 250 acres of wetlands along the Mississippi River delta. The course is part of the Audubon Golf Trail and a proud member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary program – providing a landscape that many have compared to a private nature reserve. The course, with stately stands of cypress and oak trees, features more than 100 bunkers, as well as five ponds.
