‘Pretty awesome’: Monday After the Masters tees off with fans for the first time in years

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - Monday After the Masters is teeing off with fans in attendance for the first time in five years.

Tournament Director Paul Graham said the annual Pro-AM golf event hosted by Grammy-award-winning band Hootie & The Blowfish sold out within a week of tickets going on sale.

Graham said they expect around 3,500 fans and players at the Dye Club at Barefoot Resort on Monday, including all four members of Hootie & The Blowfish.

Proceeds from ticket sales go towards the Hootie & the Blowfish Foundation, which supports the educational needs of children in South Carolina, and the South Carolina Junior Golf Foundation through a fully funded endowment.

“To be here and to see the same folks raise a lot of money...be a part of the community is pretty awesome,” said Hootie & The Blowfish vocalist Darius Rucker, who’s also known for his successful solo career. “The one thing I cherish the most is the friendships I’ve gotten to be a part of, having great friends that always want to support you is pretty awesome.”

Monday After the Masters is teeing off with fans in attendance for the first time in five years.

The field also includes a star-studded line-up of celebrities, including former national championship-winning football coach Urban Meyer, The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore, NSYNC member Joey Fatone and The Today Show’s Craig Melvin.
