This weekend Cancun is buzzing about the Celebrity Golf Invitational coming to Playa Mujeres and Tres Rios Resorts. The event takes place over four days, December 3-6, 2009, with a variety of activities for the celebrity guests and participants in the tournament to enjoy the Mexican Caribbean. There will be two golf events, the Skins game just for celebrities on Friday December 4th and the main tournament on Saturday December 5th where each celebrity will play with three lucky amateurs. With prizes worth over $1 million USD, this is not only a game for pride! This is the first tournament of its kind in Mexico and we are sure it won’t be the last.
Participating celebrities include basketball greats Rick Barry and John Starks, speed skater Dan Jansen and actor, singer and composer Clifton Davis. All invited guests will be staying at the stunning Tres Rios Resort in the Riviera Maya and playing their rounds of golf at the Playa Mujeres golf course. In addition to the golf events, there will be a Texas Hold’em poker tournament and a silent auction, with proceeds going to a variety of charities including Teleton and Kanche in Mexico and Children International in the USA. Celebs and guests will be shown the town by the host hotel Tres Rios, with tours to Xelha and Xcaret and explorations of some of the incredible features of the Riviera Maya.
Cancun Travel is excited to be able to participate in this event, stay tuned for full reports and photos of this world-class event. Best of luck to all the participants and we hope that all the spectators have a wonderful time (don’t forget your sunscreen!) See you on the links!
