The Polo Players Support Group (PPSG) is pleased to announce that tickets are now available for the 2020 U.S. Polo Assn. 40-Goal Polo Challenge. Set to take place on Saturday, February 15, 2020, the fundraising event will bring together the world's top polo players at the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, for the highest rated polo game in North America. PPSG provides financial assistance to seriously injured or ill polo players and grooms. Since 2002, the PPSG has provided over $2.6 million to 83 different players and grooms.
There are five ticket options available that range from General Admission to VIP Packages that grant you access to the gourmet seated dinner, as well as silent and live auctions surrounded by polo players and enthusiasts. A portion of all ticket purchases are tax-deductible.
General Admission: $20
Includes lawn seating at eye level with the action. Seats are not assigned.
Stadium Seating: $100

The fundraising event will showcase an exciting display of skill, teamwork and action from some of the world's most talented 10-goal polo players as they vie for the 2020 title. In 2019, the event raised $375,000 with Polito Pieres earning the Tito's Handmade Vodka Longshot of the Day award within the first 30 seconds of the game. Ultimately, it was Airstream that claimed the victory, defeating Pilot Catastrophe Services by two points.
