Throughout 2015, Pfeifer will appear at 10 Events of a
Lifetime™, a Diamond Resorts program that delivers VIP vacation
experiences to select members, owners and guests, and involves
special guest appearances by a roster of high-profile celebrities
such as baseball Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson and Gaylord Perry,
PGA touring professionals Brian Gay and John Cook, and Super Bowl
XXVI MVP Mark Rypien.
“I am excited to be a part of the incredible things that Diamond
Resorts is doing. I recently participated in the Brian Gay
Invitational, Diamond’s celebrity/amateur charity golf event that
raised $805,000 for Florida Hospital for Children. In addition to
being a world-class golf event, Diamond Resorts delivered an
unparalleled hospitality experience where I discovered what it
truly means to Stay Vacationed™. I am looking forward to this
opportunity to participate in Events of a Lifetime™ and also
represent Diamond Resorts on the golf course,” said Pfeifer.
According to Michael Flaskey, Executive Vice President, Chief
Sales and Marketing Officer, Diamond Resorts International®, “Chad
is a true American hero and we are honored to be associated with an
incredible role model who exhibits immense character both on and
off the course. Chad’s story is an inspiration to many, and our
members, owners and guests will thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to
meet and spend quality time with our newest Diamond Resorts
Ambassador. His strength and determination is something we can all
aspire to and admire.”
After graduating college, 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.
Since his debut on the golf scene, Pfeifer has won the National
Amputee Championship hosted at Rio Verde Golf Club and is a
three-time champion of the Warrior Open, an event hosted by former
President George W. Bush. He placed 5th in the 2014 American
Century Golf Championship and competed in the 2015 Humana Challenge
in La Quinta, Calif. Pfeifer currently appears on the Golf
Channel's Big Break show, Big Break The Palm Beaches, Fla., where
he advanced this week by eliminating two players in an exciting
playoff.
