Tiburón Golf Club
The Gold Course hosts the annual QBE Shootout (formerly Franklin Templeton Shootout), originally the "Shark Shootout", an off-season golf event hosted by Norman that includes members of the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions. The tournament debuted in California in 1989 and moved to Tiburón in 2001. In 2023, the PGA Tour replaced the QBE Shootout with a new team event at Tiburon, the Grant Thornton Invitational, which is a 16-team event featuring one PGA Tour and one LPGA Tour golfer on each team.
Since 2013, the Gold Course has also hosted the season-ending event of the LPGA Tour, the CME Group Tour Championship, held in November.
The Black Course hosts the Chubb Classic, a Champions Tour Event held in February.
History
The Gold Course opened 26 years ago in 1998 and the Black in 2001. Tiburón is designated as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary by Audubon International. In 2006, the club was the first to use customized Segway golf carts.
The golf club is part of a gated golf community by the same name. The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples, is also located on the property. The club is also home to the Tiburón Golf Academy , which features private lessons, multi-day golf schools, junior camps, and clubfitting.
