According to the couple’s wedding website, the newlyweds tied the knot in North Palm Beach, Florida.

The couple met three years ago at a golf tournament with Aethos Investment Management president Todger popping the question two years later during a mountain hike in Cordillera, Colorado.

Christie’s grandfather Jack, nicknamed The Golden Eagle, is widely regarded as one of the best golfers of all time.

He was inducted into the Golf World Hall of Fame in 1974 and awarded the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008.
