Tim Tebow charity golf event this Saturday

Gators and NFL players in lineup of celebrities

Jacksonville, FL —

Tim Tebow, former Gator and now Denver Broncos QB, has never done things the traditional way.

“I like to have fun out on the golf course, and the 18-hole skills challenge will go a long way to keep everyone loose out there and ensure that all of us – the participants and the spectators – will spend the day having a great time,” Tebow said. “I hope everyone comes out on Saturday, especially to help me make a putt on the fourth hole.” 

Saturday's Tim Tebow Foundation Celebrity Golf Classic will raise money for youth around the world and will feature numerous celebrities, athletes and coaches beginning at 9 a.m. on Dye’s Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass. 

Each of the 18 holes will have a unique element that will include food stops, athletic competitions and even the rare opportunity for spectators to be invited inside the ropes to participate in the action.

The list of celebrities who will have to navigate through the 18 holes includes NFL Pro Bowlers, former and current University of Florida football players and coaches, performing artists and Tim Tebow himself. Joining Tebow are Elvis Dumervil, Fred Durst, David Garrard, Artis Gilmore, Scott Hanson, John Lynch, Urban Meyer, Will Muschamp, Mike Pouncey, Maurkice Pouncey, Fred Taylor, Jason Taylor, Brandon Spikes, Scott Van Pelt, Danny Wuerffel and Leon Washington.
