May 26 - May 31, 2009
Glen Oaks Country Club, West Des Moines
The Principal Charity Classic is a week unlike any other in Iowa. It attracts a strong field of professional players such as Tom Watson, Hale Irwin, Ray Floyd, Fuzzy Zoeller, Ben Crenshaw, Jay Haas, Tom Kite, Bruce Lietzke and Loren Roberts. Massive galleries file into Glen Oaks Country Club to lend a level of excitement that makes this tournament one of the finest stops on the Champions Tour.
Best of all, the Principal Charity Classic serves as a catalyst in raising money for local nonprofit organizations supporting children. The following five outstanding organizations are dedicated to supporting children in the community and will receive the proceeds from the 2009 event:
Blank Children's Hospital
Bravo Greater Des Moines
Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines
United Way of Central Iowa
Variety-The Children's Charity of IOWA
