Listen to KJAN this weekend for live coverage of the Tournament of Champions from the Atlantic Golf & Country Club.  We will broadcast from the course and the clubhouse Thursday through Sunday as some of the top golfers in Iowa compete in both an open and a senior division.

Our coverage begins Thursday afternoon at 5:00 pm with our preview show.  We’ll visit with some of the area golfers about the weekend as they finish their Ham-Am round.  On Friday, we’ll follow a number of area golfers as the three day tourney gets underway.  Live reports begin at 8:35 am.  Saturday we will again begin at 8:35 am with our first broadcast as we begin to shift our focus to the top contenders.  And on Sunday, we’ll play “Follow the leaders” as we catch the swing-by-swing action from the course as the open and senior champions are crowned.
