Dominion Energy Charity Classic wins one of 5 PGA Tour Champions awards

The Dominion Energy Charity Classic was named the 2022 President’s Award winner at the PGA Tour's annual Tournament Meetings Dec. 7 at the Arizona Biltmore. In all, five awards were presented to three tournaments and one individual on PGA Tour Champions.

For the first time, the Dominion Energy Charity Classic, played at The Country Club of Virginia's James River Course in Henrico, was named the recipient of the President’s Award, which captures the criteria of all PGA Tour Champions awards, as well as the intangibles that make the tournament stand out.

“The Dominion Energy Charity Classic has been a standout event on our tour for a number of years,” said PGA TOUR Champions President Miller Brady. “This year’s tournament was even more unique, bringing in the inaugural River City Classic and expanding the reach of the tournament’s initiatives to draw in fans with a variety of interests – highlighted by events like the ‘Game Changers’ Executive Women’s Day.

"The work that the tournament team at Dominion have done to support the Richmond community is second to none and I’m thrilled to be able to present the 2022 President’s Award to their event.”

The 2022 DECC tallied a record total in local sales; donated more than $2 million to charity (extending a streak of donating at least $1 million each year since 2018); witnessed more than 1,100 volunteers; oversaw the inaugural River City Classic, with seven Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) from the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association competing in a 36-hole tournament at Belmont Golf Course in Henrico and the Country Club of Virginia’s James River Cours; and held events to draw in a variety of interests, including a “Game Changers” Executive Women’s Day and a Friday Night Military Appreciation Concert, with special guest Lauren Alaina.
