David toms wins pga tour champions cologuard classic, which will move to a new tucson venue in 2024, share this article.

TUCSON, Ariz. — David Toms posted a 6-under 30 on his front nine Saturday and led by two shots after 36 holes at the 2023 Cologuard Classic.

On Sunday, he led by four through 11 holes and was still up by two when he got to the par-4 18th, rated the most difficult hole on the PGA Tour Champions last season.

And for the third day in a row, the 18th proved trouble for Toms, who drove his tee shot into a lake down the right side of the fairway for the third time.

He said he didn’t see it go in Sunday and only discovered it was wet once he got up there, and that probably helped him avoid thinking about a bad shot for very long.

“It was more about ‘Let’s take our drop, let’s get our yardage,'” Toms said. “My caddie Scott [Gneiser] said ‘Hey man, we’re alright. Let’s hit a good shot here.'”

Toms only had five bogeys over the 72 holes and three of those came on the 18th. After a drop, his approach missed right but he got up-and-down for bogey and that was enough, as Toms closed with a 68 to finish at 15 under and beat Robert Karlsson by a shot. Toms (68-65-68) posted 19 birdies over three days and besides the first-place check, he also won a gold Conquistador helmet, which is the trophy for the tournament.

He sounded excited to be able to bring that home.

“It’s just kinda one of those things. I’ve always paid attention to it, saw the funny pictures of the guys putting it on their heads. I can tell you that my caddie’s got no chance to fit it on his head,” Toms quipped.

Gene Sauers had the best round Sunday with a 64 and tied Mark Hensby for third at 12 under. Doug Barron finished solo fifth at 11 under. Lee Janzen and Marco Dawson tied for sixth at 10 under.

Other notables this week:

• Steve Stricker: Tied for eighth (70-66-71)
• Brett Quigley: First-round leader bounced back from a second-round 73 with a closing 69
• Miguel Angel Jimenez: Tournament’s defending champion shot 70-70-69 to finish 7 under.
• Bernhard Langer: A Champions tour record 46th win will have to wait, as he shot 72-68-70 to tie for 19th
• Jerry Kelly: tournament ambassador also tied for 19th.

New venue in 2024

The Cologuard Classic announced Sunday that the event will have a new home next season, as the Jack Nicklaus-designed La Paloma Country Club will be the host venue in 2024. The private club is about 10 miles northwest of this year’s locale, Tucson National, which hosted since 2015.

Cologuard had previously announced an extension of its title sponsorship of the event through 2027.

For more information, visit ExactSciences.com, follow Exact Sciences on X (formally known as Twitter) @ExactSciences, or find Exact Sciences on LinkedIn and Facebook.

About Cologuard®

The Cologuard test was approved by the FDA in August 2014, and results from Exact Sciences' prospective 90-site, point-in-time, 10,000-patient pivotal trial were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March 2014. The Cologuard test is included in the American Cancer Society's (2018) colorectal cancer screening guidelines and the recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2021) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (2016). The Cologuard test is indicated to screen adults 45 years of age and older who are at average risk for colorectal cancer by detecting certain DNA markers and blood in the stool. Do not use the Cologuard test if you have had precancer, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes, or have a personal or family history of colorectal cancer. The Cologuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopy in high-risk patients. The Cologuard test performance in adults ages 45-49 is estimated based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older. The Cologuard test performance in repeat testing has not been evaluated.

The Cologuard test result should be interpreted with caution. A positive test result does not confirm the presence of cancer. Patients with a positive test result should be referred for colonoscopy. A negative test result does not confirm the absence of cancer. Patients with a negative test result should discuss with their doctor when they need to be tested again. Medicare and most major insurers cover the Cologuard test. For more information about the Cologuard test, visit  www.cologuard.com . Rx only.

An Essential Guide to Tucson, Arizona’s Burgeoning Arts and Culture Hub

Tucson, Arizona is one of our Best Places to Go in the North America for 2024 , part of our global guide to the Best Places to Go in 2024 —find more travel inspiration here .

The vast state of Arizona is a traveler’s paradise. Whether relaxing into a resort vacation in Scottsdale and Phoenix , soaking up the energy vortex of Sedona, or slipping through the swirling crevices of Antelope Canyon is what you seek, the Grand Canyon State (did you realize that most of the famed canyon is in AZ?) has plenty to thrill the modern jet set. But if you’re craving a city that will also fill you up with fantastic food and drink after wearing you out with thrilling outdoor pursuits, then you have to add Tucson to your Arizona itinerary. About 70 miles north of the Mexican border, Tucson’s tourism cache is growing rapidly thanks to its enchanting combination of experiences that can be savored year-round in the 350-plus days of annual sunshine. Did we mention that some of the country’s top wellness retreats and golf courses are located just on the outskirts of town, too? Tucson has something for everyone.

Saguaro National Park surrounds Tucson and is a great place to get a feel for the region's topography, whether you're hiking or biking.

What to do in Tucson: Golf, wine tasting, art

Located 70 miles from the Mexico border, the Tucson area is home to over 40 golf courses and features a mix of public, private, and municipal (often the most affordable) turfs. Tee enthusiasts have been coming to Tucson since the 1940s thanks to this variety of courses and the favorable weather. Every March since 2015, Tucson hosts the Cologuard Classic, a PGA TOUR Champions Tour event played on a Jack Nicklaus-designed course in the Santa Catalina Mountains. But the most picturesque course might be 18-hole Stone Canyon Club north of Tucson, which was ruggedly designed by architect Jay Morrish. You’ll appreciate the drama provided by the Catalina Mountains and the Sonoran desert. Think about it: lush fairway surrounded by towering saguaro cacti. But to get a real feel for Tucson’s unique desert topography, Saguaro National Park surrounds the city; you can ramp up the lever on the activity meter with either a hike or an adrenaline-pushing mountain-biking excursion. If you only have time for one day out, head northeast of central Tucson for Sabino Canyon, where over a dozen trails, verdant desert foliage, and various dams and creeks make it a beloved hiking destination.

Mountain biking is becoming more popular here, and the southwest’s stunning landscape. If you’re just starting out, scope out the terrain at the Sweetwater Preserve Trailhead in the eastern foothills of Tucson Mountains and Honeybee Canyon in the Oro Valley. Both feature relatively milder pitches that usually appeal to novices. More advanced riding awaits on Mount Lemmon. Expertise aside, you should hire a guide anyway to ensure a seamless and safe adventure. The folks at Homegrown are some of the most dedicated. Its owner Art is a founding member of the Tucson Off-Road Cyclists and Activists, a non-profit that advocates for the thoughtful development of Tucson’s trails. Speaking of terroir, southern Arizona has an exciting wine scene developing thanks to farmlands fertile enough to yield high-quality grapes. You’ll find many restaurants in town serving local bottles in their drink lists. To get up-close and personal with the vineyards and winemakers, however, take a day trip to Sonoita , a burgeoning wine country just 50 miles south of town. Tap Arizona Winery Tours to lead a customized private visit, but you definitely don’t want to miss Los Milics , a newly launched winery from Pavle Milic, co-owner and wine expert at FnB , one of the best restaurants in Arizona. For more cultural exploits, you’ll want to explore Barrio Viejo, the largest barrio in the country. It was first established when Tucson was still part of Mexico, and it was the long-standing heart of life in the city. Today, Barrio Viejo, where you’ll find the largest collection of Sonoran adobe structures in the country, is going through some pretty significant changes as new projects (from bars and restaurants to hotels and galleries) open in these historic buildings. Tucson Presidio Museum leads a 90-minute walking tour ($30) of the neighborhood, during which you’ll learn not only of its history but also about the various businesses that call it home. For an extra $10, you can share a snack and a margarita with your guide following the tour to continue the conversation. Another landmark worth adding to your list of must-dos is the Mission San Xavier del Bac , which is located about 10 miles southwest of the city. It was founded in 1692 and the current building has been around since 1797 making it the oldest (and to many, the best-looking) colonial relic in the US. There are many world-class museums in Tucson (the Tucson Museum of Art turns 100 this year), but The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures is a more unusual choice: It's hosting a whimsical exhibit on mini pencils until May 15, 2024.

Sand Reckoner’s Tucson tasting room is a great place to try local Arizona wines.

El Guero Canelo is famous for its Sonoran hot dog, where the dog is wrapped in bacon and loaded with beans, onions, tomatoes, and jalapeño sauce.

Where to eat and drink Tucson

El Charro Cafe , originally founded in 1922, is the country’s oldest family-owned Mexican restaurant, and it’s still among the most popular in Tucson. All three locations serve a robust menu of classics, from queso-stuffed rellenos to a variety of soft-shell tacos, but the must-order here is the Carne Seca platter. El Charro’s trademark dish, perfected over a hundred years now, orbits around angus beef that’s been marinated, sun-dried, shredded, and grilled before it’s plated with the works.

A James Beard American Classic, El Guero Canelo is famous for its Sonoran hot dog, which features a bacon-wrapped dog stuffed into a Mexico-made bun before it’s all loaded with beans, onions, tomatoes, and jalapeño sauce. Every week, James Beard winner Don Guerra’s Barrio Bread makes nearly 4,000 loaves all featuring local or heritage grains from the southwest. In their Tucson cafe, you can have your pick from countless styles, from a simple baguette to cinnamon-raisin and mesquite-flavored. You can also find a pan-Latin vegetarian and gluten-free meal at Tumerico , where the menu changes daily. One day you may get to try enchilada calabacita (stuffed with zucchini, squash, and other veggies); another day might feature a jackfruit taco.

Elsewhere, try Scott Girod’s wood-fired pizzas at Anello , largely considered by many to be the best pie purveyor in town. Girod was a protege of Chris Bianco, one of the country’s most celebrated pizza makers, and here, his Neapolitan-style creations are flavored with very Italian ingredients like guanciale and pistachio. There are a couple of other contenders for the people’s affections, including the newer operations at Penelope , where pizzas are unexpectedly drizzled with a tasty sauce: ranch, balsamic glaze, hot sauce, etc.

Foodies should also stop at Fat Boy sandos for Japanese-style sandwiches, Monsoon Chocolates ’ newly opened cafe and market for addictive bon-bons (the cocoa nib horchata is ace), and Houlden's , which supplies lots of local eateries with their cult-favored vegan pastries, but their new bakery gathers the greatest hits into one easy-to-binge location.

Wash everything down at Sand Reckoner’s Tucson tasting room , where you can try more Arizona wines. (The small vineyard is just outside Wilcox.) The crisp Malvasia is great for warm Tucson afternoons. For coffee, there are plenty to choose from in this city, but pop into EXO Roast Co. for their southwest-inspired beverages, the best of which is the eye-opening mesquite cold brew, which comes with a seriously drinkable savory-sweet profile.

The Leo Kent Hotel, Tucson, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel is one of a couple new boutique hotels in the city, this one boasting glamorous interiors in a downtown setting.

Where to stay in Tucson

The city recently welcomed a couple of fantastic boutique hotels. At the foothills of the Catalina Mountain, The Eddy Hotel Tucson, Tapestry Collection by Hilton has 106 minimally decorated rooms whose colors mimic the stark hues of the surrounding desert. The small outdoor pool, where you’ll want to cool off when it gets too hot out, has become the social hub of the property. Just as new is The Leo Kent Hotel, Tucson, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel , where more glamorous interiors suit its downtown location. A soaring lobby crowned with a crystal chandelier, lots of dark wood surfaces, and southwest-inspired textiles (clock the carpet in the 145 rooms and suites) create a more city-slicker visual experience here. If you’d prefer a resort stay, you’ll be spoiled for choice in Tucson. But wellness enthusiasts shouldn’t forget that Canyon Ranch , a pioneer in the all-inclusive wellness travel space, founded its brand with a property here. This desert oasis may be known for its vast collection of results-oriented spiritual, health, and fitness programs designed by leaders in their fields, but you can also come to just relax by pool, indulge in some spa treatments, and tuck into some good-for-you meals.

Tucson Roadrunners may be moving to Tempe, or they may be staying in Tucson

TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - The Tucson Roadrunners may be moving to Tempe or they may not, according to owner Alex Meruelo.

The news of the possible move came on the same day the Phoenix Coyotes’ sale to Utah Jazz owners Ryan and Ashley Smith was official.

In a radio interview that can be watched below, Meruelo said he sold the Coyotes to the Smiths but kept the Roadrunners, who were the AHL affiliate of the Coyotes.

“So when this transaction takes place, and it’s basically done, we plan on keeping all the hockey when it comes to business operations intact,” he said. “I also kept in this deal, which never happens, I kept the AHL team that plays currently in Tucson and we’re going to move them up to Mullett Arena.”

But later in the day, Meruelo talked with The Arizona Republic and said he may have spoken too soon.

Meruelo told the newspaper his statements earlier were incorrect and there is a chance the Roadrunners could play in both Tucson and Tempe.

The Roadrunners organization refused to comment on Meruelo’s radio interview and said they are focused on one thing, the playoffs.

“We heard the comments this afternoon and remain focused on the completion of the final home stand of the regular season, a long playoff run and winning a championship with the Tucson community by our side,” said Roadrunners Senior Director of Communications & Broadcasting Adrian Denny.

The Roadrunners came to Tucson in 2016 and made the playoffs three times, including this season.

The benefits of being a volunteer

Volunteers will need to show their volunteer badge to enter this parking lot.

Complimentary round-trip shuttle service will be provided to and from the golf course throughout the day, before and after shifts. Shuttle buses will drop volunteers off at the Volunteer Headquarters located at The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa.

To qualify for your free round of golf, volunteers must work a minimum of 24 hours during tournament week. Each qualifying volunteer will be able to request one of the assigned dates on a first come, first served basis. (Dates are not yet determined but golf is typically provided within six weeks after the professional tournament.)

All volunteers (plus one guest) will receive an invitation to our evening celebration that honors our hardworking volunteers, including a complimentary buffet dinner, adult beverages provided, music & dancing, awards, raffle prizes, and more!
