GET READY, JACKSONVILLE!
The Constellation Furyk & Friends presented by Circle K golf tournament is back in town, and it’s shaping up to be an electrifying weekend! This much-anticipated event kicks off this Friday and runs through Sunday at the beautiful Timuquana Country Club. It’s the fourth year that Jacksonville has played host, and the excitement is palpable!
CHARITY AT THE HEART OF THE TOURNAMENT
Now, let’s talk about what really makes this tournament special. Not only does it bring top-tier golf to our region, but it also serves as a major driver for local charities. Thanks to the generosity of players and sponsors, over $3.5 million has been funneled into *Northeast Florida charities* over the years. That’s right, folks! This isn’t just a sport; it’s a way to give back. Local legend Jim Furyk, alongside his wife, Tabitha, has made sure that charitable contributions remain a central theme of the event. Furyk has checked in with fellow golfers on the PGA Tour Champions circuit, and you can guess what? They all seem to love the event and the awesome course setup!
SPONSORSHIP & VENUE NEWS
Big news dropped recently when the tournament announced a new five-year sponsorship agreement with Constellation, extending their partnership through 2030. However, it won’t be at Timuquana forever. The club opted not to extend beyond 2025, so we may see this event in a new venue shortly. Golf fans, keep your eyes peeled for more announcements!
TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE & TELEVISION INFO
Mark your calendars! The tournament kicks off on Friday and wraps up on Sunday. The course features a splendid Donald Ross design and measures a challenging 7,005 yards with a par of 72.
