A Different Kind of Invitational.
Some events are built around competition.
Others are built around people.
Cards & Clubs is built around both.
The inaugural Invitational brings together brands, executives, VIP guests and personalities for a private two-night experience at PGA National Resort, where golf and poker create the setting for something larger: relationships, hospitality and shared experience.
PGA National Resort · January 11–13, 2027

Golf and poker performance combine to determine the inaugural Cards & Clubs team champion.
From the Fairway to the Final Table.
Golf and poker reward many of the same qualities.
Precision. Patience. Strategy. Composure. Risk management. Decision-making under pressure.
A bad hole does not end a round. A lost pot does not end a tournament.
The best competitors adjust, recover and know when the moment calls for aggression or restraint.
Cards & Clubs was created around that shared competitive mindset. And the five-start PGA National Resort brings it to life this January.
One Team Raises the Cup.
Every team competes across both disciplines.
Golf establishes one side of the championship.
Poker finishes the story.
Together, they determine the team that raises the Cards & Clubs Cup.
