LOS ANGELES, November 20, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Premier Live and Mehow are excited to announce that the 2017 Manuka Doctor Necker Cup and Necker Open presented by Metal, will be Nov. 27- Dec. 2, 2017. Due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma to the entire BVI region, this year's events will be held at the newly opened, highly anticipated luxury resort destination Baha Mar in The Bahamas.

The 2017 Manuka Doctor Necker Cup presented by Metal is a six-day/five-night, all-inclusive world-class Pro-Am tennis event, featuring top ATP /WTA Pros & Legends and Sir Richard Branson who are paired up with amateur teams of all levels, who compete in this fun and spirited tennis competition, which will take place at the Peter Burwash International Racquet Club at Baha Mar. Taking place concurrently with the tennis event, the 2017 Manuka Doctor Necker Open presented by Metal is a six day/seven night, all-inclusive world-class Pro-Am golf event featuring top PGA Pros & Legends. This year’s tournament will take place at Royal Blue Golf Club at Baha Mar. This 18-hole, par 72, Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course is stunning. Freeform tees on each hole ensure a new playing experience each day with the course length able to vary from between 6,100 and 7,200 yards.

Given the widespread devastation, it was tough to even think about the event; however, Sir Richard Branson and our team feel the Necker Cup and Necker Open, with the help of our title sponsor Manuka Doctor, and presenting sponsor Metal, offer an incredible opportunity to raise much-needed awareness and funding for the hurricane victims. The outpouring of support from all our guests, pros and celebs has been outstanding, and we sincerely appreciate your kindness.
