Napa, Calif. – Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, Calif. is set to host many of the PGA TOUR’s best at this week’s Fortinet Championship, the first tournament of the 2021-2022 PGA TOUR season. Silverado’s North Course will host the event with a 156-player field that includes World No. 1 Jon Rahm, 2020-21 PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year Will Zalatoris, Phil Mickelson, Hideki Matsuyama and past tournament champions Cameron Champ (2019) and Brendan Steele (2016 and 2017).
2021 marks the eighth consecutive year the PGA TOUR has played an event at Silverado Resort and Spa (Frys.com Open 2014 – 2015, Safeway Open 2016 – 2020, Fortinet Championship 2021). Located in the heart of California’s wine country, the North Course originally opened in 1955, was redesigned by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and then refreshed by multi-time TOUR winner and Silverado Resort and Spa owner, Johnny Miller. The Fortinet Championship will air on Golf Channel Thursday through Sunday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. EST, and on PGA TOUR LIVE Thursday-Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST.
After a Fortinet Championship winner is crowned on Sunday evening, golfers can play where the pros play and experience Silverado Resort and Spa for themselves in a variety of ways, including golf stay and play packages, golf groups of 12 or more, through lessons and golf schools at the Johnny Miller Golf Academy, or by becoming a member and joining the Silverado community.
Silverado Resort and Spa is Napa Valley’s only 36-hole golf resort and was named the “2020 California Golf Course of the Year” by the California Golf Course Owners Association. The 7,123-yard, par 72 North Course annually hosts the Fortinet Championship, while the 6,612-yard, par 72 South Course is a favorite among members and resort guests. Both courses were re-designed by World Golf Hall of Fame member and former lead NBC golf analyst Johnny Miller. In 2020, the North Course was named to Golfweek’s Best 2020: Top 200 Resort Courses ranking. In addition to two 18-hole golf courses, Silverado features 340 guest rooms, a full service Spa, 10 tennis courts and 10 swimming pools, all in close proximity to Napa Valley’s 540-plus wineries.
