What are you doing Tuesday night after the practice rounds at the Players Championship at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida?  We have an idea for you and your family and friends to enjoy an evening of food and fun for a very special cause at Nippers Beach Grille.  Fred Funk, the 2005 Players Champion, will host the event and bring his PGA golf friends.   J.T. Townsend has invited the registered golfers of the 2012 Players Championship as well as the Jacksonville Jaguars.  

So, as J.T. says, “Let’s see who shows up because this will be the place to be during one of the beach’s most spectacular weeks.  There will be some very special surprise guests.”  J.T. and Board Member Liza Chung (professional designer, event planner, and wife of former Jaguar and NFL player Eugene Chung) expect 1,000 attendees, so get your tickets early.         

Continuing a PGA TOUR tradition of honoring men and women in uniform, THE PLAYERS Championship today unveiled a full slate of activities and programs that will take place during the 2012 event as part of Birdies for the Brave, a military outreach initiative proudly supported by the PGA TOUR.  In addition to providing all active duty, retired, and Reserve military personnel along with their dependents with complimentary admission to the tournament all day, every day, THE PLAYERS also offers discounted admission to veterans.  New this year will be the “Military Job Fair at THE PLAYERS” on Monday, May 7.  THE PLAYERS also announced, along with Capitol Records Nashville, that country music star Luke Bryan will help the tournament honor area military with a special musical appearance on Wednesday, May 9, during Military Appreciation Day.
