With a Dick’s Open win in 2014, and returning to play in this years tournament too, Mr. Langer is familiar with the course and the area. He will speak at a presentation that starts at 6 p.m. on the 18th green. Here he will be accompanied by SiriusXM host Dave Marr for an interview, question-and-answer segment and demonstration of chipping and putting.

The live presentation will follow the Expo, which will feature health information tables, prize drawings and giveaways, starting at 4 p.m.

“We of Team UHS are honored to have Bernhard Langer, one of the world’s greatest golfers, as the honorary host of our Expo this year” said John M. Carrigg, president and chief executive officer of UHS. “Not only is he a champion athlete in every sense of the word, he is a champion in the cause of physical fitness, good nutrition and wellness for a lifetime.”

At age 64, Mr. Langer has the most senior major championships among the PGA Tour Champions. He has nine senior major titles and is one of only five golfers to win on all six continents where golf is played.

At UHS’ Expo, Mr. Langer will be providing tips on both golf and wellness. Along with this, different service providers from UHS will be offering a variety of displays on how to stay healthy and will show what UHS has to offer the community.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with UHS and welcome another World Golf Hall of Fame member to this special event,” said John Karedes, executive director of the Dick’s Open. “What Mr. Langer has been able to accomplish at his age is a testament to not only his skill but to great health and wellness. This makes him a perfect fit for our event.”

There will be giveaways and prize drawings at the Expo. Although the event is free, advance registration is required; call 607-205-1500 or click here to access the UHS Golf Expo-2022 Registration Survey.
