American hero and Diamond brand ambassador Chad
Pfeifer to play in the amateur field at the 2015 Humana
Challenge
After graduating college, Chad Pfeifer enlisted into the U.S.
Army, where he advanced to the rank of corporal. He was deployed to
Iraq in 2007 as a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. While on his
tour of duty in Iraq, Pfeifer's vehicle was hit with a pressurized
IED, resulting in significant disability, including the loss of his
left leg. As a part of Pfeifer's therapy and recovery he thrust
himself into golf. Pfeifer learned how to play the game with his
new prosthetic leg. His game progressed quickly and he has since
won the 2011, 2012 and 2013 George W. Bush Presidential Center
Warrior Open.
Continuing his pursuit of professional golf, Pfeifer will
compete in the upcoming Humana Challenge in La Quinta, Calif. on
January 21-25, 2015. Caddying for Pfeifer will be veteran PGA Tour
caddy Kip Henley. Henley also caddied for the 2013 Humana Challenge
winner, PGA Tour professional and Diamond Resorts brand ambassador
Brian Gay. In addition, The Golf Channel announced last week that
Pfeifer would be a contestant on their immensely popular 2015 Big
Break.
"Chad is an inspiring role model both on and off the golf
course. He recently played in the 2014 Brian Gay Invitational
presented by Diamond Resorts International® and helped raise
$805,000 in net proceeds to benefit the Walt Disney Pavilion at
Florida Hospital for Children," said Michael Flaskey, Diamond
Resorts International® Chief Sales and Marketing Officer.
"I look forward to representing Diamond Resorts while playing in
the Humana Challenge next week. I would also like to say a special
thank you to The Clinton Foundation for their invitation to play in
the tournament, and represent the Wounded Warriors and their
families," said Pfeifer.
"Diamond Resorts International® is incredibly proud for our
brand to be associated with Chad Pfeifer. He is an American hero
and an inspiration to our great country. Chad and all of our
country’s service men and women allow our members, owners and
guests the privilege and freedom to Stay Vacationed.™. We wish Chad
the best of luck at the Humana Challenge," said Flaskey.
