With the growing popularity of golf, many organizations, from the PGA to local charities, are tapping and tapping into all the positive traits that golf has to offer and, year after year, golf tournaments like the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic have been setting those standards. But times are changing and tournaments are moving from one to two days to three to four days, including everything from the actual golf tournament, celebrity meet and greet, grand auctions and concerts. These chartable tournaments are no longer known as a golf tournament but are now a golf “event” and no one has been doing it better than the Hootie and the Blowfish Monday After the Masters Celebrity Pro-Am Golf Tournament.
Once considered just a college band, Hootie and the Blowfish gained national notoriety with hits like “Hold my Hand” and “Only Wanna Be With You” and soon won “Best New Artist” at the 1996 Grammy Awards. Building on their success in the music industry and driven by their passion for golf, they started the “Hootie and the Blowfish Foundation” and the “Monday After the Masters Golf Tournament” in an effort to give back to their home state of South Carolina. .
The Hootie and the Blowfish Monday After the Masters Golf Tournament is now widely regarded as one of the most popular celebrity pros in the country and takes place the same weekend as the PGA Master’s Golf Tournament. The tournament continually draws thousands of people who enjoy the music of the two-time Grammy award winners, as well as the friendly competition between the band and their celebrities and professional PGA friends. Over the past 13 years, the tournament has donated more than $ 3.5 million to the South Carolina Junior Golf Foundation and the Hootie and the Blowfish Foundation, which supports the educational needs of South Carolina. In 2004, the tournament raised a record $ 400,000 and attracted more than 5,000 fans.
In the past, the Hootie and the Blowfish Monday After the Masters Golf Tournament has attracted many renowned PGA professionals, including Tiger Woods, David Duval, Craig Stadler, Fred Couples, Tom Kite, and John Daly.

Jackson, Dan Marino, John Elway, Brett Favre, Meatloaf, Sister Hazel, Edwin McCain, Lou Holtz, Alice Cooper Jim Hodges, members of Creed, Bernie Kosar, ESPN’s Dan Patrick, Stuart Scott and Mike Tirico.
