"With the addition of Brothers Osborne to our concert lineup, we're set to deliver an unforgetta­ble start to what promises to be our best tournament yet.”

Tournament has raised $3.5 million for charity

Furyk & Friends has generated more than $3.5 million in charity in the first three years, including a $500,000 direct donation from Constellat­ion. The money goes to North Florida charities such as the MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation, First Tee — North Florida, Blessings in a Backpack, St. Johns Riverkeepe­r and Beaches Habitat for Humanity.

"In terms of the interest in hospitalit­y, our pro-ams (the Wednesday and Thursday pro-ams have been sold out all three years) the tournament has exceeded our expectatio­ns," said tournament director Adam Renfroe. "Since the grounds ticket revenue goes primarily to charity, we're never going to be completely satisfied with how many we sell and there's room for more. But we're very pleased overall with the impact the tournament has had in the community and for charity."

The tournament also benefits other local organizati­ons including Wolfson Children's Hospital Family Links Program, Operation Shower, Jacksonvil­le Humane Society, Hope for the Holidays, K9s United, Guardian ad Litem Foundation, KIPP Jacksonvil­le Public Schools and Walk Off Charities.

Brett Quigley is the defending champion, joining Steve Stricker and Phil Mickelson in winning at Timuquana.
