Justin Timberlake to Host PGA Tour Stop for Shriner's



Justin Timberlake, a stand up guy, is holding his first official PGA tour event this week in Las Vegas. The scratch golfer (6 handicap), is doing this to raise money for Shriner's victims, and also, bring attention to young golfers.

Each time I hear Timberlake talk, I become a bigger fan...

The event will be held October 13-19 at the TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas, with an official Pro-Am on Wednesday. The event will be televised on the Golf Channel. As part of his involvement, Timberlake, a six handicap, will play in the Wednesday Pro-Am and host a concert during the tournament week.

“Raising money to better children’s lives while playing golf? I can’t think of a better way to pass the time,” Timberlake said.

“I couldn’t be more excited,” said Timberlake. “We will make sure to make this event unique and memorable, and we will raise money for charity while participating in the greatest game every played.”
