Why Cards & Clubs
MORE THAN A SEAT AT THE TABLE.
Competition brings people together. What happens next is the opportunity.
Cards & Clubs brings together brands, executives, VIP guests and personalities across golf, poker, sports and entertainment through two games built on strategy, pressure and competition.
It's not just about who's in the room. It's about what becomes possible when they compete, connect and spend meaningful time together.
Built to Create Value
Different organizations may come to Cards & Clubs for different reasons. The experience is designed to create value:
ACTIVATE
Put your relationships to work in a new way.
Bring athletes, creators, ambassadors and other talent beyond traditional appearances and into the experience itself.
CONNECT
Create relationships beyond the usual circles.
Bring together people and organizations that might not otherwise cross paths across business, sports, entertainment, golf and poker.
HOST
Create access that can't be bought.
Give clients, partners and VIPs the opportunity to participate alongside the field—not watch from the sidelines.
CREATE
Create moments worth sharing.
Real competition and genuine interaction create stories and content that don't need to be manufactured.
COMPETE
Give people something to play for.
Teams, rivalries and the Cards & Clubs Cup turn hospitality from something people attend into something they're invested in.
Compete Together
Connect Differently.
Cards & Clubs also creates something rare: the opportunity for companies, personalities and teams that compete in the real world to compete somewhere completely different.
On the course. At the table. For the Cup.
Friendly rivalry creates stakes, storytelling and a reason to care about the outcome.
But everyone still benefits from being part of the same experience.
Competition brings people in. Connection is what they take with them.
Bring Your People. Meet Theirs.
A golf ambassador and a poker ambassador. An executive and an important client. A creator and a potential partner.
A VIP playing alongside people they normally experience from a distance.
Bring the people who matter to your business.
Clients. Partners. Executives. Talent. VIPs.
CCI creates an environment where those relationships can intersect competition, hospitality and time together.
Be Part of a Tradition.
The ambition for Cards & Clubs extends beyond a single event.
CCI is being built as an annual Invitational at the intersection of golf, poker, business, hospitality and culture.
The first chapter begins January 11–13, 2027 at PGA National Resort.
Each edition will bring together a curated field, an exceptional destination and partners that add something meaningful to the experience.
