The airport was abuzz with the grand opening of this newest location celebrated by a team of PGA TOUR representatives, along with HMSHost and joint venture partner Lee Wesley Group, LLC, and Jacksonville Aviation Authority executives. With THE PLAYERS\u00ae Championship being held May 11-14 at TPC Sawgrass in nearby Ponte Vedra Beach, the opening is a timely greeting for players, caddies, and fans from around the world coming to take in the tournament or play at one of the many renowned courses found throughout Florida\u2019s First Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the PGA TOUR national headquarters in nearby Ponte Vedra Beach, and some of the country\u2019s top golf destinations in the local region, Jacksonville International Airport is the perfect location to bring the PGA TOUR Grill experience to the millions of visitors and locals flying in and out of airport,\u201d said HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Stephen Douglas. \u201cHMSHost is excited to continue our partnership with Jacksonville International Airport and our joint venture partner, Lee Wesley Group, LLC, to enhance the airport with the best dining choices in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PGA Tour Grill highlights Northeast Florida\u2019s golf scene, one of our region\u2019s main leisure attractions,\u201d Jacksonville Aviation Authority CEO Steve Grossman said. \u201cRestaurants such as these are one of the many reasons JAX was voted North America\u2019s #1 airport for customer satisfaction.\u201d<\/p>\n

PGA TOUR Grill\u2019s atmosphere gives travelers an inside look at the region\u2019s golf history, including pictures of TPC Sawgrass through the restaurant, and adds a new dimension to the airport\u2019s dining program. Golf-centric travelers won\u2019t miss any action happening on the green as PGA TOUR Grill features numerous big-screen televisions showcasing live championship action, previous week\u2019s tournament highlights, and Golf Channel programming.<\/p>\n

PGA TOUR Grill is a beacon for those who enjoy golf or those who simply enjoy sports and a fresh and healthy meal. PGA TOUR Grill\u2019s menu was created by HMSHost executive chefs with a focus on using healthy ingredients for every menu item. Dishes like the Power Salad take this to task with nutrition-packed ingredients including quinoa, marinated tomato, roasted peppers, garbanzos, arugula, avocado, and herbs. The menu denotes heart healthy and gluten-free dishes to accommodate specific dining desires of guests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to bring PGA TOUR Grill to the Jacksonville International Airport and The First Coast, home to the PGA TOUR, THE PLAYERS Championship and the World Golf Hall of Fame,\u201d said Lance Stover, the PGA TOUR\u2019s Senior Vice President of Licensing & New Ventures. \u201cWe\u2019ve been extremely pleased by the success and growth of the PGA TOUR Grill concept, thanks to the expertise of HMSHost. The First Coast has such a rich golf history which we look forward to celebrating while offering visitors the great healthy food choices for which the PGA TOUR Grill is known.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether you just completed the challenging 17th hole, “Island Green”, at TPC Sawgrass or had a rough finish at your closing hole, this clubhouse style restaurant will put you at the top of the leaderboard and makes for a great finish to your trip.<\/p>\n
