The Golfer’s Journal is pleased to invite you to
The Monday Finish @ PGA West
January 20-22, 2024 | Palm Springs, CA
Every shot counts—and on this adventure, so does every second. Join us in Southern California for a long weekend of golf and motorsports, and a chance to be crowned the Monday Finish champion.
This January, 24 Broken Tee Society members are invited to take on a pair of famous tracks. We’ll spend Sunday morning hugging corners and smoking tires in a series of BMW M-series models at BMW’s Performance Driving School, then relax in the VIP section at the PGA West Stadium Course as the leaders come down the stretch at The American Express. Best of all—on Monday, we’ll go from spectators to competitors and play the course under tournament conditions.
