Make the most of your visit to the CME Group Tour Championship

When the LPGA Tour’s season-ending event comes to Naples every year, so do golf fans from around the world. They want to see the best in women’s golf, of course. But they also want to enjoy everything Florida’s Paradise Coast has to offer.

From November 17th through the 23rd, the CME Group Tour Championship makes its annual appearance at The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón. The tournament is played on Tiburón Golf Club’s Gold Course, showcasing the world’s top 60 female golfers who will compete for an $11M purse and $4M winner’s check – the largest single prize in the history of women’s golf.

The Gold Course’s masterful design, pristine playing conditions and gorgeous surroundings are sure to deliver an unforgettable tournament experience, which also includes a golf pro-am, family golf clinic and Women’s Leadership Day. Combined with the resort’s accommodations, amenities and unrivaled service, there may be no better way to spend a golf vacation. Unless, of course, your itinerary includes some of the many nearby offerings that make the Paradise Coast a premier destination for golf-focused travel.

Complement the Tournament in Style

When it comes to pairing your golf getaway with dining, shopping, beaches and other activities, you’ll be just as delighted away from the tournament as you are watching the action. In fact, your only challenge might be agreeing on what to do first. May we suggest making such decisions over a mouthwatering meal?

Throughout Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades, you’ll find a wide variety of places to eat that can satisfy practically any culinary taste. From fine Italian at Alberto’s on Fifth, to the lively, tropical atmosphere at Mango’s Dockside Bistro (featuring a 750-gallon saltwater fish tank), to seasonal stone crab claws at Camellia Street Grill and everything in between, you can rest assured that your taste buds will be smiling. And when cocktails are calling, it’s always happy hour at 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill. The list of options is practically endless on the Paradise Coast.

Now that you’ve replenished your energy, how about shopping ’til you drop (okay, maybe not that long) along stylish Third Street South or world-famous 5th Avenue South? There’s also Naples’ historic Tin City, which draws thousands of visitors each year, Waterside Shops, a variety of farmers markets and more. Whatever you seek, you’ll be surrounded by shops, boutiques, outlet centers and malls teeming with treasures.

Of course, it’s perfectly normal if golf is still on your mind – especially considering that the CME Group Tour Championship isn’t just of three professional golf tournaments taking place in Naples every year. So if the tournament inspires you to want to tee it up yourself, you’re in the right place. The Paradise Coast offers the most golf courses per capita in the entire country. And with these must-play public courses in Naples, you’ll surely find the perfect fairway to conquer.

Your calories are officially burned – a testament to the abundance of things to do in Naples, Florida. But if you’re partial to doing absolutely nothing, spend some quality time on one of the Paradise Coast’s world-renowned beaches. From Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park to Naples Beach to South Marco Beach, the soft white sands of Paradise let you relax by the Gulf of America in style.

Find the Perfect Place to Stay and Watch the Pros Play.

The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón is obviously the ideal place to stay when you attend the CME Group Tour Championship.
