NORTON, Mass – The 2024 FM Championship will not only bring the world’s best golfers to the greater Boston area for four days of intense competition, but will also introduce an elevated fan experience with high-energy activations all around the grounds of TPC Boston.
WHAT TO DO
Located adjacent to the TPC Boston clubhouse, the Fan Zone will host fun activities for the whole family, including Golf Skee-ball, Battle Chip and Corn Hole. Fans can stop by Watch Out for that Hazard Mini Golf brought to you by FM to show off their talents with the flatstick.
Commemorate the visit to the FM Championship with a selfie at the Photo Booth presented by Rhone. Snap a photo and use #FMChampionship on social. Tag the @LPGA on Facebook and X, and @LPGA_Tour on Instagram and TikTok.
Fans who visit the Photo Booth on Thursday will have an extra special opportunity to grab a pic with the Larry O’Brien Trophy, awarded to the winner of the NBA Finals. As all Boston sports fans know, the Boston Celtics captured the Larry O’Brien Trophy for a record 18th time in June 2024.
At the FM Risk Prevention Truck, research and solutions for risks such as fire, flood and high winds will be brought to life through several interactive exhibits. Fans can discover some of the ways FM helps clients see both property risks and innovative methods to prevent them.
Visit the Boston Common Golf’s Mobile Golf Simulator to participate in their Closest to the Pin Challenge. Daily winners will receive a pair of tickets to watch the Boston Red Sox play the Chicago White Sox on Sept. 8 at Fenway Park. Then head over to the TPC Boston Pro Shop to pick up the latest LPGA gear, including hats, polos, mid layers, accessories and more. A full selection of LPGA apparel and accessories are available at www.LPGAProShop.com.
A stop at the Practice Areas will allow fans to get up close and personal with the LPGA Tour stars competing in the FM Championship. While at the driving range, checkout one-of-a-kind memorabilia from Massachusetts and LPGA Tour legend Pat Bradley, thanks to a partnership with Mass Golf. See some of her exclusive items which will be showcased in their museum later this year and pick up some fun giveaways too.
The driving range will also host the Iovera LPGA Lesson Zone, a unique fan activation that offers free 10-minute lessons from LPGA Teaching Professionals. Lessons are available to fans of all ages and skill levels. On Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the FM Championship will host a Junior Girls Golf Clinic, in partnership with the LPGA Foundation and LPGA*USGA Girls Golf and sponsored by BJ’s Wholesale Club and Devlin Energy.
