Welcome letter from PGA TOUR Champions President Miller Brady:
- 2024 Edition -
On behalf of PGA TOUR Champions, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 48th Hassan II Trophy Tournament. The 2023 season saw our Tour return to Morocco for the first time since 2020 and the first appearance of PGA TOUR Champions at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Morocco’s capital city of Rabat.
Last year’s Hassan II Trophy saw Stephen Ames earn a five-shot victory, kickstarting a season in which he won four times and finished a career-best sixth in the Charles Schwab Cup Standings.
PGA TOUR Champions is proud to partner with the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation (RMGF) and the Hassan II Golf Trophy Association (ATH) which serve as world-class hosts for this one-of-a-kind event.
It is my honor to thank His Majesty King Mohammed VI for His Royal Patronage and His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid, President of the Royal Moroccan Federation and the Hassan II Golf Trophy Association for being a longtime supporter of golf on our tour.
We are excited to welcome a field of legendary players, including World Golf Hall of Fame members and major champions, to this event.
We are elated to be joining the LET as they compete for the Lalla Meryem Cup, a tournament which has been played annually since 1993 and was added to their tournament schedule in 2010.
The 2024 season on PGA TOUR Champions features a total of 28 events to be staged across 19 states in the Unites States and three international countries (Morocco, Scotland, Canada). In addition to great competition, PGA TOUR Champions events are important vehicles for charitable giving, and we look forward to continuing that important tradition throughout 2024.
We appreciate the media and Royal Golf Dar Es Salam staff for their dedication to making this tournament a huge success.
Enjoy a great week!
Miller Brady
