October 1, 2019, Guerneville, CA – Korbel California Champagne once again held the highly-anticipated “Spray-Off” Challenge on September 25th at Silverado Resort in Napa, California, where champion Charles Howell III took home first place and $5,000 from the Korbel Toast Life® Foundation to benefit his charity - The First Academy School in Orlando, Florida.
Just as golf pros made their way to the 17th tee, Korbel challenged players to show off their best champagne-celebration skills during the fourth-annual Spray-Off as part of Wednesday’s Pro-Am. Howell took home the winning title after popping the cork 56.5 feet for the furthest distance of the day. Ranked 9th on the PGA Tour, Howell has had a lot of practice popping corks on the course.
This year’s competition brought together 33 PGA Pro-Am players, all vying for the championship to benefit charity. Contending participants included second place winner Chesson Hadley with a distance of 54.2 feet followed by Phil Michelson with a 51-foot cork shot earning him third place in the Korbel Spray-Off.
