Owners of Summerlin real estate at TPC Canyons and TPC Summerlin have just enjoyed ”front row seats” for our annual PGA Tournament, the Frys.com Open benefiting Shriners Hospitals for Children. The tournament was founded back in 1983 and Tiger Woods scored his very first PGA Tour victory here in 1996. As part of the “Fall Finish” on the PGA Tour, our tournament became the first in PGA history to offer total prize money in excess of $1 million. The 2007 purse was a whopping $5,000,000 with $900,000 going to this year’s winner, George McNeill. How could you expect anything less from Las Vegas?

Speaking of expectations, Las Vegas is now the most highly recognized golf destination in the entire United States. An online poll recently conducted by Digest Publications Inc. ranks Las Vegas #1 out of 37 major golf markets for the number of golfers who recognize it as such. It’s little wonder that the Michelle Sterling Las Vegas Real Estate Team spends so much time showing our clients outstanding Las Vegas golf homes in virtually every part of the valley. We would probably enjoy it even more than we do if we could get out on the course and break 90!
