AKRON, Ohio – Tickets for the 2021 Bridgestone SENIOR PLAYERS Championship are available for purchase, tournament officials announced today. The tournament will welcome spectators back to Firestone Country Club the week of June 23-27 for the third major of the year on PGA TOUR Champions. The Bridgestone SENIOR PLAYERS Championship worked closely with the Ohio Department of Health and Summit County Public Health to receive approval for fans to attend.

“We are committed to providing a safe and fun tournament experience for all tournament attendees, and we’re looking forward to welcoming fans back for this year’s Bridgestone SENIOR PLAYERS Championship,” said Don Padgett III, Executive Director of the Bridgestone SENIOR PLAYERS Championship. “In addition to the golf tournament, we are excited to have the Akron Symphony Orchestra thanks to Fleet Response and The Shootouts performing after golf for the first time at Firestone. We encourage everyone to come out and enjoy this outdoor, week-long, summer event.”
Summerfest at Firestone during tournament week will feature something for everyone at the course.
