TEMPE, Arizona – Gila River Resorts & Casinos will be the presenting sponsor of the 2025 Grass Clippings Open; a high stakes par-3 golf tournament scheduled to take place Wednesday, April 30-Saturday, May 3 at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills, Arizona’s first fully lit 18-hole golf course.
The Grass Clippings Open presented by Gila River Resorts & Casinos is the first event of the 2025 Grass League season with 66 two-person teams competing in a gripping 36-hole tournament over two days, adhering to a no-stroke, two-person scramble, low gross format.
The final round will air live on NBC Peacock on Saturday, May 3.
Grass Clippings Open tickets are now on sale at www.GrassLeague.com and include access to the tournament and post-golf afterparties featuring two platinum recording artists: indie rapper/singer Bryce Vine will perform on Friday, May 2 and singer/songwriter Quinn XCII will play on Saturday, May 3.
“Gila River Resorts & Casinos is proud to partner with the Grass Clippings Open. Coming off the heels of the LPGA Ford Championship Presented by Wildhorse Pass, we are incredibly excited to participate in this event and to bring the night golf vibe and experience to our customers,” said Gregory DiVincent, Corporate VP of Marketing for Gila River Resorts & Casinos.
As part of the presenting sponsorship agreement, Gila River Resorts & Casinos will receive branding throughout the tournament, a hospitality suite on the 18th green, tickets to the golf tournament and nightly concerts, commercials on NBC Peacock’s live tournament broadcast, as well as social media and YouTube collaborations leading up to the tournament. Gila River Resorts & Casinos will also have three teams participate in the April 30th Grass Clippings Open Qualifier with each playing for a chance to compete in the Grass Clippings Open.
The April 30 Grass Clippings Open Qualifier will feature a total of 108 two-person teams competing for a chance to play in the May 2-3 tournament. The top 25 qualifiers will be entered into the Grass League Draft (held on May 1), during which the 11 existing Grass League Franchises will select two two-person teams to compete on their rosters during the Grass Clippings Open – this means only 22 teams will be selected, so participants will need to leave no doubt that they’ve got what it takes to compete with the best.
