Funky & Friends Concert/Celebrity Golf Classic
Ponte Vedra, FL
– Jim and Tabitha Furyk are pleased to announce the second annual concert and
celebrity golf outing to be held Sunday, March 25 and Monday, March 26.
Headlining the concert is country sensation Rodney Atkins. Celebrity players in
the golf tournament include Jim Furyk, Stuart Cink, Lynn Swann, Jack Ingram and

The Jim and
Tabitha Furyk Foundation was established in late 2010 in an effort to support
local children and families in need.
Last year, the inaugural concert and golf event raised over $250,000 for
northeast Florida charities. Some of the funds were used to feed an entire Jacksonville elementary school for the school year through Blessings in a
Backpack, provide care for 100 families in the Community PedsCare program and
fund a family suite in the new Oncology tower at Wolfson Children’s hospital.

Rodney Atkins along with
special guests are going to rock Whisky River, owned by race-car sensation Dale
Earnhardt Jr. and located at the St. Johns Town Center. Premier packages include pre-concert

individual concert tickets and Premier Package tickets are available on-line at

Classic will take place at Sawgrass Country Club. Sawgrass was home to The
Players Championship from 1977 through 1981. The 27 hole golf course was
designed by noted Arnold Palmer Course Design architect, Ed Seay. Sawgrass is
consistently recognized is one of the finest courses in the country and
continues to host top quality tournaments.
