A popular South Surrey golf course has earned a PGA Tour Americas 2025 Tournament Award after hosting the Fortinet Cup Championship earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Morgan Creek Golf Course was honoured with the Best Sales Performance and commended for its outstanding financial performance earlier this week, when the awards were announced in an online ceremony.<\/p>\n
Only six tournament awards are handed out, meant to honour excellence across the season\u2019s 16 official events, a PGA Tour Americas release noted.<\/p>\n
Morgan Creek Golf Course director of golf operations and Fortinet Cup Championship tournament director Tom Doull said he was pleased to learn of the award.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a lot of work and and our team did a fantastic job, so to get rewarded for that \u2026 is really nice. It\u2019s kind of the cherry on top. We felt we did a good job, but it\u2019s good to know that it\u2019s recognized,\u201d Doull said Thursday (Dec. 18).<\/p>\n
It was the first tournament Morgan Creek has hosted at the PGA Tour Americas level, he noted, adding that the support of the neighbourhood and surrounding community was amazing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe support of the neighbourhood was really huge. We got a lot of support from volunteers and a lot of support from people who purchased tickets,\u201d Doull said, adding that record crowds attended the PGA Tour Americas tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the week, the officials from PGA Tour Americas were saying it\u2019s the biggest crowds they\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n
The whole tournament was a success, Doull said, and several local residents who live near the golf course emailed to express their thoughts.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were very concerned about how the local residents would feel about the added traffic in the area \u2026 I received multiple emails and comments in person from them saying, \u2018That was great.\u2019 \u2018It was fun to have in the neighbourhood.\u2019 \u2018When are we going to do it again?\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Doull didn\u2019t rule out hosting another PGA Tour Americas event in the future, but noted the Fortinet Cup Championship (which will no longer be called that in 2026, as the sponsorship has ended) will move to the Dominican Republic for the next two years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you to the golfing community of Metro Vancouver, but particularly the Surrey area \u2026 the players were really blown away,\u201d Doull said. \u201cWe gave them a real taste of what the real PGA Tour is like with the crowds, or a little bit of it, anyways. I think Surrey really showed that it can hold big events like this and support them. It was great.\u201d<\/p>\n
