Saint John’s Resort, a premier 200-acre destination resort in Metro Detroit, is proud to announce that it will host the 2025 LIV Golf Michigan Team Championship from August 22-24. This monumental event will showcase three days of intense competition featuring both match play and stroke play, as teams compete for the 2025 championship title for LIV Golf.
The season-ending event will feature the League’s star-studded field in action, including major champions Jon Rahm (Legion XIII), Bryson DeChambeau (Crushers GC), Brooks Koepka (Smash GC), Phil Mickelson (HyFlyers GC), Dustin Johnson (4Aces GC), Sergio Garcia (Fireballs GC), Cameron Smith (Ripper GC), and many more. Following the thrilling conclusion of the 2024 Team Championship—where Smith’s Ripper GC claimed victory—the all-Australian squad will look to defend their title at The Cardinal.
As the host of LIV Golf’s marquee event, Saint John’s Resort joins a prestigious roster of world-class venues across North America, Europe, Asia and beyond, showcasing its ability to deliver an unparalleled guest and player experience. Along with providing premier accommodations for players, the week-long event will include headline concerts, exclusive parties, and a high-energy atmosphere from start to finish, delivering the League’s “Golf, But Louder” experience that has been embraced by fans across the globe.
The newly designed Cardinal, an 18-hole championship golf course designed by renowned architect Raymond Hearn, opened in June 2024 as part of Saint John’s Resort’s extensive multi-million-dollar transformation. With 200 acres of undulating terrain, The Cardinal will present a distinct challenge for the world’s top players as they compete for the ultimate team trophy of the year.
“Hosting the LIV Golf Team Championship marks a defining moment for Saint John’s Resort,” said Kevin Doyle, Chief Operating Officer of the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation. “Our transformation into a destination that blends timeless beauty with modern luxury has created an exceptional experience where guests can enjoy everything they need without ever leaving the grounds. With world-class accommodations, premier dining, and thoughtfully designed amenities, we are uniquely positioned to host an event of this scale and significance. We look forward to welcoming the world to our grounds and building on this momentum to establish Saint John’s as a premier destination for future international events.”
Saint John’s Resort is owned by the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation and operates under the Humanitarian Hotels model, dedicating 100% of net profits to educational and humanitarian initiatives. This mission aligns with LIV Golf’s innovative and forward-thinking approach to the sport, making the partnership a natural fit.
“Our Foundation’s Humanitarian Hotel model not only dedicates 100% of profits to charitable organizations but also uses our hotel properties as platforms for meaningful community impact,” Doyle said. “With LIV Golf’s ‘Potential Unleashed’ impact and sustainability strategy focused on improving the lives of millions of young people worldwide, we are excited to partner with them to deliver tangible, positive change in the Metro Detroit community throughout 2025.”
