Major Star Power – 3 Ways to Celebrate the 2016 Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship

For the 10th year in a row, Constellation will sponsor the annual SENIOR PLAYERS Championship, one of only five major championships on the PGA TOUR Champions. With committed players including Bernhard Langer, John Daly, Tom Watson and three other former Masters winners, this event is sure to be an exciting matchup of some of golf’s finest players.

The tournament will take place June 9-12 at The Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon Course. “We are pleased that the tournament is headed to Philadelphia following an exciting championship at Belmont Country club in 2015,” Bruce Stewart, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Constellation, told the PGA. “Philadelphia is another important market for Constellation and is a market in which we have been active for years providing competitive energy services to many commercial and residential customers.”
