Golf fans encouraged to ride bikes to PGA Tour Champions tournament in Iowa

DES MOINES, Iowa — The 2024 Principal Charity Classic is adding a new way for spectators to get to the course and enjoy some free perks. The golf tournament is launching a new Pedal to the PCC bike ride for championship Sunday.

The event is free, but registration is required. Registered participants will receive free admission to the Principal Charity Classic on Sunday, a map of the recommended route, free bike valet at the tournament, a free drink coupon to be used on-course and a water bottle. Participants will also be entered to win a free bike donated by Bike World.

Tournament organizers said in a news release that the ride starts at a parking ramp in downtown Des Moines and eventually ends Wakonda Club, the host venue for the Principal Chairty Classic.

The Principal Charity Classic is an annual PGA Tour Champions event held at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines, the 12th event on a 28-event schedule in 2024.

In 2023, the Principal Charity Classic raised $8 million for charity, making the tournament’s giving total more than $50 million since 2007.
