Since the start of the year 2023, a certain event has caught the eye of the golf audience. It is none other than the celebrity charity match between Paige Spiranac and John Daly! The social media star and the two-time major winner will meet mano-a-mano on the Gary Player Course at Geneva National Golf Club later this year.

The match between the two well-known entities will take place on June 5 in the morning. And here are the rest of the details about the famous face-off between both parties with huge fan bases:

The individuals and objectives behind the celebrity charity event

After the golf social media icon announced the competition between two professionals, viewers have been anticipating the playoff. On the one hand, Paige Spiranac boasts a great amateur resume with a short-lived professional career. She has been a part of the Ladies European Tour and the Cactus Tour; however, she soon shifted her interest to a different professional path. Although, golf is still the heart of her work, she is no longer a golf pro.

On the other hand, John Daly has had an impressive career as a golfer. ‘Wild Thing’ has not only the 1991 PGA Championship to his name but also the 1995 Open Championship. He boasts a collection of twenty professional victories.

While it may seem that there is a margin between the skills of the two individuals, the greens will still provide an exceptional face-off. Despite this, one of the major objectives behind the occasion is to raise money for two well-known organizations. All the profit generated from the sale of tickets to the game would go to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and Heart of a Lion.

The prices of tickets for the heated face-off

With two icons competing on the greens, tickets are bound to not be available at this point. That is exactly what the case is; all the passes for the event have been sold out. The tickets for this event at the Geneva National are distributed in two categories. The passes allow access to the grounds and on-field viewership behind the ropes of cart paths, fairways, and greens. The price for the first ticket is $15. It will also provide an additional benefit where the individual can play a round on the 27-hole dance floor of the resort. This ticket is called the Day Grounds Pass Access.

The second inside-the-rope pass is costlier than the previous one. It can be purchased for $105 and permits one to watch the match within the gallery ropes. The important guideline for tickets to the event was that they were non-refundable. Apart from all this, two fortunate individuals will also be picked to caddie for Paige Spiranac and John Daly.

The Beauty vs. the Beast auction: Geneva National Foundation

In addition to the money raised from the profits made by selling the tickets, an online auction has been going on related to the competition between Spiranac and Daly. The bidding would provide a possibility for the golf enthusiasts to be the scorekeeper, compete for the closest to the pin against the two entities, be the cart caddie, and more.

However, with only a few hours left for one of the exciting confrontations, most of the packages have already been sold. From among the ones mentioned above, not a single bid is left. The winning amount for John Daly’s EZGC Golf Cart was $15,000, the highest till now in the auction. This was followed by the autographed golf bag at $5000.

The remaining items, which are surprisingly up for auction, include a 12-month membership with Dormie Network and the EZGO RXV Elite Electric Golf Cart of Paige Spiranac. The starting bids for the two are $7500 and $6,700, respectively.

Destination amenities and the post-match reception

The Geneva National Resort and Club is famous for its services. These include the 54-hole golf course, the festive, classy dining, the indoor and outdoor pool, spa amenities, and much more. These are sure to intrigue the individuals who will attend the face-off between Spiranac and Daly. In addition, viewers also have a chance to attend the post-match VIP reception.

This will include a photo opportunity with the two icons, heavy hors d’oeuvres, live performances, and an autographed poster by John Daly and Paige Spiranac. The price of the tickets for the same has been $155, and after May 21st, all tickets will be available in the GN Pro Shop.
