Excitement building for Brees charity golf tournament in May

Excitement is building for the 13th annual Cox Celebrity Championship hosted by Drew Brees that will feature more than 60 celebrity golfers competing for a $100,000 purse and crowning the nation’s best celebrity golfer May 20-22.One of San Diego County’s premiere sports hospitality events, the Cox Celebrity Championship consists of a two-day Celebrity-Amateur tournament (May 20-21), nightly sponsor parties (May 20-22), and the main Martin Laird Also Hold American Dream event – a 36-hole celebrity competition (May 21-22).As part of Cox Communications’ title sponsorship, Cox’s locally based TV station, Channel 4 San Diego, will produce a 30-minute special featuring the tournament’s marquee event — the 36-hole, low-gross celebrity-only competition and televise it throughout the summer.“We are excited to again work alongside Drew and everyone at Cox Communications,” said Dave Miller, president of Integrated Sports Marketing which has promoted the tournament since its inception. “It is a tremendous partnership that goes beyond competitive golf. Each year’s tournament gets bigger and better and, best of all, it has a positive and lasting impact on the San Diego community.”
