Traveling Golfer has a full trip of fun to Tampa thanks to Yuengling Beer.
It’s the Tampa Bay Yuengling Beer Special – which was released in September 2025.
This is perfect if you’re heading to Tampa, Florida for getaway.
Host Tony Leodora spotlights the vibrant combo of golf, craft beer, and spring training in Tampa Bay.
This latest installment takes viewers on a spirited journey through the region’s most iconic destinations, anchored by the legendary Yuengling Brewery.
Tony also visits the Philadelphia Phillies’ spring training complex, about 30 miles away and some golf and lifestyle hotspots that define the area’s unique charm.
Baseball Meets Brews
The episode opens with CEO and Owner Dick Yuengling explaining his life-long connection to the Philadelphia Phillies and before that the Philadelphia A’s.
That has led Yuengling to be the official beer of the Phillies.
And the Tampa brewery, now more than a quarter century old, is an incredible tourist spot not only for spring training baseball but year-round. The brewery and its surrounding property is like an amusement park loaded with golf simulators, putting greens, and cornhole areas.
Another tourist attraction at the brewery is the Yuengling Draft Haus & Kitchen which serves up more than just pints. It’s a full-bodied experience of local flavor, live events, and behind-the-scenes access to the oldest brewery in America.

Tony goes into the kitchen with Sean Eckman, director of hospitality, to show us how to make the classic chicken and waffles breakfast that uses a combo of a pressure cooker in a deep fryer.
Golf Glory in the Gulf
From hops to fairways, Traveling Golfer then tees off at TPC Tampa Bay, a Bobby Weed-designed course that has hosted PGA TOUR Champions for over two decades. This is where Jack Nicklaus won his final PGA tournament. And Tom Watson won in back-to-back years here.
With its lush layout and championship pedigree, the course offers a compelling contrast to the laid-back vibe of the Draft Haus, proving Tampa Bay’s versatility as a destination.

Strategic Partnership with The Venetian
The episode also highlights Yuengling’s partnership with The Venetian Golf Club, a collaboration that blends premium brewing with upscale golf experiences. This alliance underscores Yuengling’s growing footprint in the golf lifestyle space, offering exclusive tastings, branded events, and member perks that elevate the club’s appeal. Wait until you see some of the roller coaster greens at The Venetian that will test your putting game – if you get a chance to play it.
If you’re a golf enthusiast or someone just looking for a great getaway near Tampa, Florida, this is a great choice.
