Last week we were excited to announce many details for the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Presented by Talking Stick Resort, a production of the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships November 7th at WestWorld of Scottsdale.

This week we wanted to zero in on some exciting new elements, new teams and a new focus on social distancing. Despite some of the changes for 2020, we believe it might be the most rewarding year yet.
WHAT’S NEW FOR 2020?
*A new team joining the event this year will be the Celebrity Cruises Polo Team in support of Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center. The team features some of the world’s top professional polo players including John Grobin and Tareq Salahi.
*A new, elegant and even more socially distance option this year is our new Elevated South Road Seating. Located above the field on WestWorld’s South Road this option offers a unique view of all the action. Includes a complimentary bottle of champagne for the table.
*Miss going to concerts? Local Arizona music legend Roger Clyne will be presenting a post event concert that will take place immediately adjacent to the polo field. Clyne’s performance is being produced by R Entertainment. The concert will be separately ticketed.
