Active-duty military and reserve members, as well as military retirees and their dependents, will not have to pay an entrance fee to watch one of the world’s largest and most financially rewarding tournaments ($10 million in prize money) live on the course: the Bridgestone Invitational, part of the World Championship Series, being held this week at Firestone Country Club in Firestone, Ohio.
All military guests will be treated to complimentary food and beverages and will have access to a relaxing place to watch all the tournament action at the Patriots’ Outpost, a military-only hospitality chalet located next to the 14th green.
After yesterday’s first day of the World Golf Championship Bridgestone Invitational, England’s Ian Poulter leads the standings with 62 strokes. Second place is shared by Americans Rickie Fowler, Kily Stanley and Patrick Cantlay, with 63 strokes. Jon Rahm is fourth, with one more stroke.
The winner of the tournament will pocket $1.7 million.
