Season finale under the lights at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills decides the Par 3 Cup live on Golf Channel. Tickets on sale now at grassleague.com.
TEMPE, Ariz. – Grass League today announced the 2026 GL Championship presented by Gila River Resorts and Casinos, the season finale of the professional par 3 golf league, taking place Thursday, December 3 through Saturday, December 5 at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills in Tempe. Tickets are on sale now at www.grassleague.com.
The Championship brings all 11 Grass League franchises to the home of the League for three nights of golf under the lights. Each franchise sends its four best two-person teams, 88 players in all, to compete across 54 holes in the league’s scramble format. The low team wins the GL Championship. With 5,000 points at stake, more than any other event on the 2026 calendar, the Championship also decides the Par 3 Cup, the season-long franchise title.
The final round will air live on Golf Channel on Saturday, December 5 from 5 to 8 p.m. Arizona time (7 to 10 p.m. EST), with the leaders teeing off last and finishing under the lights ahead of the trophy ceremony.
Friday night brings the $40,000 Ace Race, where 22 creators and 22 Grass League players go head-to-head in a par 3 shootout on hole 18 at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills, with a $1 million hole-in-one opportunity right next to the concert stage. The Ace Race will stream live on the Grass League YouTube channel.
When the golf wraps, the Live at the Clubhouse stage takes over, with Fitz and The Tantrums headlining Friday, December 4 and Louis The Child headlining Saturday, December 5. Both concerts are included with a Championship ticket, along with opening acts, hospitality tents, local food trucks and outdoor bars.
“Everything this season has been building to three nights in Tempe,” said Jake Hoselton, co-founder and CEO of Grass League. “Every franchise is still alive for the Par 3 Cup, it all gets decided under the lights on Golf Channel, and we have two headliners on the stage next to the 18th green. There is nothing else in golf that looks or feels like this.”
The weekend will open on Thursday, December 3 with the official practice round and the Creator Showcase, which starts at sunset and features golf creators and celebrities playing Grass Clippings Rolling Hills under the lights. Thursday is free to attend. The Showcase field will be announced November 2 and Championship rosters on November 9.
General admission starts at $21 for a single day and $32 for both Friday and Saturday, fees included, with prices rising as each tier sells. VIP passes, with a premier viewing area near the front of the stage and private bars, start at $114. The Backstage Club Pass, with side-stage concert access, the Glenrosa restaurant and complimentary drinks, starts at $223. The event is open to all ages, and children under 16 are admitted free before 5 p.m. Gates open at 8 a.m. Friday and 9 a.m. Saturday. Tickets and full details are available at grassleague.com.
