Owned by Bob Parsons, an American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the founder of PXG, and his wife, Renee, president and executive creative director of PXG Apparel, the exclusive 45-hole private club presents an intimate and fun setting for this exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are pleased and proud to provide Scottsdale National as the setting for the PXG College Golf Showcase,\u201d said Scottsdale National and PXG Founder Bob Parsons. \u201cWe believe unique playing opportunities like this will only help these young athletes hone their skills and increase their confidence as they look to play professional golf. And, we hope that the format of this event is a good reminder to get out there and have fun on the course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
