Mercedes Benz Championship Tickets

About Mercedes Benz Championship

Historically, the tournament was first played all the way back in 1953, and ran until 1968 out in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was split between two different country clubs back then, first being played at the Desert in Country Club through 1966. After that, tournament play began at the Stardust Country Club, which ran the event in 1967 and 1968. Golfing fans over that whole time eagerly snapped up Mercedes-Benz championship tickets whenever they could.

The growing popularity of West Coast golf tournaments meant that the Mercedes-Benz championship itself would relocate, and the 1970 tournament was played out in Carlsbad, California for the next 30 years. It was a very successful relationship, selling a lot of Mercedes-Benz championship golf tournament tickets pretty much as soon as they went on sale.

Due to the nature of this tournament -- and the fact that it's the season opener for the professional golfer in the United States playing on the PGA Tour -- it tends to get a lot of media attention and a lot of eager buyers of those Mercedes-Benz Championship tickets.

As a matter of historical interest, there have been 13 men who have won this tournament more than once with the Golden Bear, Jack Nicklaus, winning it a record five times, along the way selling a ton of Mercedes-Benz Championship tickets. It was during Jack's run that the tournament really came to the forefront with the golfing fan and more than a few of his battles with other golfers out on the greens and fairways became legendary. From year to year, those fans bought out Mercedes-Benz Championship tickets with great enthusiasm.

In addition to Jack Nicklaus, there have been golfers who have won the tournament at least three times, including Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson -- both of whom are among golf's greatest players. These three golfers, by themselves, were of such a stature that it became almost impossible to find Mercedes-Benz Championship tickets at the last moment.
