Celebrities Are Streaming to Maine This Week for a Big Golf Benefit Tournament

Celebrities from the entertainment, music, and sports worlds will be hitting the links in Maine this summer for what should be one heck of a benefit tournament that kicks off later this week.

After two successful years of hosting the PGA Korn Ferry Tour, Shamrock Sports & Entertainment announced a celebrity golf tournament to be held starting on June 21, 2023. The event will once again be hosted by the Falmouth Country Club, just a short drive from Portland.

Brian Corcoran from Shamrock has spoken enthusiastically about the upcoming tournament, which includes an amazing charitable benefit for the Barbara Bush Children's Hosptial at Maine Med.

“We are committed to driving significant charitable, community and economic impact to our region,” said Brian Corcoran, Chief Engagement Officer and Founder of Shamrock Sports & Entertainment and Executive Director of Drive Fore Kids. “We are proud to partner with The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital and have set a goal to raise $100,000 for them through tournament net proceeds and special events throughout the tournament week.”

The celebrity field had been steadily filling up with exciting announcements over the past few months. Now we finally have a look at the total field, and it's impressive. Patrick Dempsey, Roger Clemens, Michael Pena, Kathryn Tappen and many others are ready to tee off for golf supremacy and for a great cause.

The total prize purse for the celebrities is $250,00, with the winner bringing home $50,000. That's not a bad chunk of coin for a weekend of work. Plus, is golf really work?

This is a very exciting opportunity for golf fans here in Maine. As great as it was having the PGA feeder tour here for a few years, this has the potential of being downright huge.

But we all know what it's truly about, and that's giving back. Kudos to all the players, sponsors, and folks behind the scenes for putting together such a beautiful event for the Barabra Bush Children's Hospital.
