Black Desert Championship 2025: Desert Drama, World-Class Golf, and a Stage Set for Legends

Black Desert Championship

The Black Desert Championship isn’t just a stop on the PGA TOUR—it’s a rising phenomenon. Known for drawing in elite global talent and thousands of passionate fans, this championship blends the bold beauty of Utah’s desert landscapes with the fiery energy of tournament play. It’s one of those events that players circle on their calendars—and fans travel across the country not to miss.

Where Golf Meets the Red Rocks

A course carved by nature and elevated by design

Set in the heart of Ivins, Utah, the Black Desert Resort Golf Course is more than just a venue—it’s a spectacle. With its dramatic lava rock outcroppings, vivid desert views, and immaculate course design, it delivers a playing experience like no other on the PGA TOUR calendar.

Architect Tom Weiskopf—known for his ability to blend challenge with beauty—co-designed this layout to test players with risk-reward opportunities while giving spectators sweeping views at every turn. Since the resort’s opening, the course has gained attention for both its competitive layout and its Instagram-worthy setting.

Beyond the 18 holes, Black Desert Resort offers luxury amenities, boutique accommodations, and a community atmosphere that turns tournament week into a desert getaway. Golf fans and travel lovers alike find something to savor here.

A fresh chapter in PGA TOUR tradition

Although newer to the schedule, the Black Desert Championship has quickly built a reputation for electric atmospheres, dramatic finishes, and enthusiastic crowds. It’s one of the few events where the natural terrain plays as big a role as the leaderboard.

In a sport built on history, this tournament is busy creating its own—with a tone that’s adventurous, refined, and thrilling to watch.

Where Momentum Meets Legacy

Breakthroughs and bold shots that shaped the story

What makes the Black Desert Championship truly compelling? The moments. The kind that happen when rising stars collide with seasoned veterans on a course that rewards courage.

In recent editions, we’ve witnessed incredible performances:

  • Tony Finau, beloved Utah native, playing in front of roaring hometown crowds and delivering signature clutch play.
  • Sahith Theegala, dazzling with his flair for recovery and fearless approach—always one to light up a leaderboard when momentum swings.
  • Rory McIlroy, whose participation elevated the event’s status and brought thousands more to the ropes in awe.

These players didn’t just show up—they delivered highlights that trended worldwide. Precision on tight par-3s, 340-yard drives that sailed into the horizon, and up-and-down saves that brought the crowd to its feet.

Each year, new names add their chapters, and fans get to say “I was there when…”.

It’s not just golf—it’s a week of celebration

Tournament week brings more than four rounds of play. There are pro-ams, live concerts under the stars, local food and wine showcases, and immersive fan zones where guests can test their swing or grab autographs.

For families, couples, or corporate groups, it’s the kind of trip that checks every box—competition, connection, and a touch of luxury.

Make 2025 the Year You Witness It Live

There’s nothing like seeing it with your own eyes

TV can’t capture the scale and soul of the Black Desert Championship. Standing near the 18th green as leaders approach with the red mountains behind them is a moment that feels cinematic. Hearing the thwack of a well-struck iron echo across the valley is a memory that lingers.

Attending in person means you’re not just watching—you’re participating in the moment. You feel the rush when birdie putts drop, join the gallery chants, and maybe even meet the next breakout star.

And for 2025, the event promises even more—with new hospitality zones, improved shuttle services, and curated experiences for golf purists and casual fans alike.

Here’s why you should be part of it:

  • Scenic perfection: A tournament framed by Utah’s dramatic landscapes
  • Player access: Chance encounters, autograph sessions, and practice round interactions
  • Premier hospitality: From open-air lounges to climate-controlled suites with gourmet offerings
  • Community feel: A celebration of sport, nature, and connection—shared by thousands
