THE INAUGURAL HOST DESTINATION
PGA National Resort
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA
JANUARY 11–13, 2027
The inaugural Cards & Clubs Invitational comes to one of golf’s most iconic destinations — bringing together championship golf, poker, hospitality, content and connection for two unforgettable nights.
Where Connection Meets Competition.
Set in the heart of Palm Beach Gardens, PGA National has long been a destination for championship golf and world-class hospitality.
For CCI, it creates something even more important: one setting where teams can compete, connect and spend meaningful time together from arrival through the final table.
THE CHAMPION
Home of the PGA TOUR’s Cognizant Classic
THE BEAR TRAP
One of golf’s most recognizable three-hole stretches
PALM BEACH GARDENS
At the center of South Florida’s elite golf community
Championship Golf on The Champion.
The golf competition begins on The Champion, PGA National’s renowned tournament course and home of the PGA TOUR’s Cognizant Classic.
CCI teams will compete in a four-person scramble across a course built for pressure, strategy and championship moments.
And every team will have to make it through the Bear Trap.
15. 16. 17. THE BEAR TRAP.
Three holes. Water, wind and very little room for error.
The Champion's legendary three-hole stretch has tested the world's best. In January, every CCI team will face it with the golf championship on the line.
Risk. Strategy. Composure. Sound familiar?
From Arrival to the Final Table
CCI is designed to feel like one continuous experience, not a series of scheduled events.
At PGA National, it all happens in one destination, from cocktails and dinner overlooking the water to championship golf, time to recharge, and an evening of poker, hospitality and competition.
