On Sunday, the ten lowest scoring pro-amateur teams and six lowest scoring pro-celebrity teams will advance to play in the final round at Thornblade Club.

“Many of the celebrities are happy to sign an autograph or take a quick selfie with fans, but it’s safe to assume they will only have a moment,” said McIntyre Hargrove, Communications Manager. “Have your pen in hand or your camera all set to snap the photo as soon as you say ‘hello.’ It’s also very important for fans to understand that tournament play cannot be interrupted, so you will need to catch your favorite celebrity as they are exiting the course after they’ve finished for the day.”

In addition to the list of “who’s who” of actors, artists and athletes, the tournament brings other activities to the Upstate as well, including:

The inaugural Executive Women’s Day will take place on Wednesday, May 17 from 9:30 to 3 p.m. at Furman University’s Trone Student Center.
