 In front of 800 tournament sponsors, local media partners and special guests at the Hershey Company Pro-Am Dinner, Albertsons and Chevron executives announced over $3 MILLION was raised for charity from this year’s Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron. The donation brings the 35-year charity total to $39 MILLION, a record on the Korn Ferry Tour.
“We are thrilled to announce over $3 Million dollars for deserving charities again this year thanks to the amazing support of Albertsons, Chevron, our treasured sponsors, the great fans of Boise and our 800 hard-working volunteers,” said Jeff Sanders, CEO of Jeff Sanders Entertainment, the event’s management company. “We look forward to entertaining our fans in Boise this week, showcasing PGA TOUR golf by day and sold-out concerts by night.” The Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron is the first event of the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, featuring the top 156 Korn Ferry Tour players as they compete to earn their PGA TOUR cards for the 2025 PGA TOUR season. So far this PGA TOUR season, 30 tournaments have been won by players who came through Boise on the Korn Ferry Tour including the top ranked player in the world Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, Chris Kirk, Akshay Bhatia and more. Again this year, the event will feature three concerts after golf, August 22-24 on the 18th fairway at Hillcrest Country Club. The concerts will kick off following golf on Thursday, August 22nd with Jon Pardi. Currently headlining his worldwide Mr. Saturday Night World Tour, Pardi recently released new music from an upcoming project, “Cowboys and Plowboys” ft. Luke Bryan, as the follow up single to his sixth career #1 on Country radio, “Your Heart Or Mine,” off of his ACM Album of the Year nominated project, Mr. Saturday Night. The album earned Pardi back-to-back Album of the Year nominations and reunited the producing team of Bart Butler, Ryan Gore and Pardi, the same team behind the boards of his critically acclaimed CMA and ACM Album of the Year nominated project, Heartache Medication. Heartache Medication debuted among the top albums on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and was named in 2019 Rolling Stone’s “Best Album of the Year” and by the Los Angeles Times as one of the (Top 10) “Best Albums of the Year.” Following golf on Friday night, Daryl Hall will take the stage. Daryl Hall is a modern-day renaissance man, an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the best-selling duo of all time, the star of his very own award-winning web series-turned-TV staple, Live from Daryl’s House, as well as a successful venue owner with “Daryl’s House,” a restored venue and live music space in Pawling, N.Y. Since signing his first record deal in 1972, the Philadelphia soul man is still achieving career milestones more than four decades later, continuing to perform with his band to sold out venues everywhere. On Saturday night, Goo Goo Dolls will rock the stage. Formed by Rzeznik and Takac in Buffalo, NY during 1986, Goo Goo Dolls have quietly broken records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans, and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. Beyond selling 15 million records worldwide, the group has garnered four GRAMMY® Award nominations and nearly a dozen platinum & gold singles combined, and seized a page in the history books by achieving 16 number one and Top 10 hits. As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10 Singles.” Among a string of hits, “Iris” clutched #1 on the Hot 100 for 18 straight weeks and would be named “#1 Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years.” On the heels of going viral on TikTok, the track recently achieved seven-times-platinum status and re-entered the Billboard charts, yet again proving the timelessness of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog. Tickets for the concert days are sold out but Sunday tickets are still available for only $10. The concerts are sponsored by Smithfield Foods on Thursday, Tyson Foods on Friday and Wayne-Sanderson Farms on Saturday. In addition to the great golf and concert admission, all tickets will include admission to five on-course hospitality venues - the Albertsons Wine Bar & Chill Zone, Corona Premier Beach Club, Michelob Ultra Fan Pavilion & Beers Fore Birdies featuring the Albertsons Signature Café, Coors Light Fan Deck, and the United Rentals Heroes Outpost. Sunday’s Final Round will feature Junior Day sponsored by St. Luke’s Health Plan. Junior Day will include a free tournament logo’d hat and lunch for the first 500 kids in attendance as well as free golf games and golf lessons from PGA Professionals. Kids 15 and under get free admission all week. For more information, please visit www.AlbertsonsBoiseOpen.com Comments are closed.
