2012 Umpqua Bank Challenge Moves to the Reserve
PORTLAND, Ore. (January 4, 2012) – Peter Jacobsen SPORTS today announced that the 2012 Umpqua Bank Challenge will take place August 26-28 at The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club, located at 4805 SW 229th Avenue in Aloha, Ore.
“The Reserve has always been a great partner to PJS, and I couldn’t be happier to continue our relationship with them,” said Tournament Host Peter Jacobsen. “The course is spacious and fan-friendly, and gives us the opportunity to create an extremely special event.”
The Reserve was previously home to two PJS-managed events, The Challenge, 1998-2002, and the JELD-WEN Tradition, 2003-2006. During those nine years the course played host to some of the game’s most popular players, including Stewart Cink, Fred Couples, John Daly, Jim Furyk, Sergio Garcia, Matt Kuchar, Phil Mickelson, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Craig Stadler, David Toms, Tom Watson and the 2011 Umpqua Bank Challenge defending champions, Steve Elkington and Scott McCarron.
“We are excited to welcome Peter’s Party back to The Reserve!” Said Reserve Owner Jin Park, “It is our honor to serve as the host venue for The Umpqua Bank Challenge – we look forward to working with the Peter Jacobsen SPORTS staff in creating an incredible event benefitting Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel and the “I Have a Dream” Foundation – Oregon. Our shared belief in the positive impact the Umpqua Bank Challenge has on the local community makes this event a perfect fit for The Reserve.”
The Umpqua Bank Challenge and Regence Pro-Am will be played on The Reserve’s North Course, designed by renowned golf course architect Bob Cupp. The John Fought-designed South Course will be open during the tournament for member-play only.
A news conference to announce the 2011 Umpqua Bank Challenge charitable contribution will be held January 23, 2012.
