First Coast Fall Classic: Constellation Furyk & Friends returns for fourth year at Timuquana

Changes are in store for the tournament venue, but title sponsor and schedule slot should remain going forward.

• The Constellation Furyk & Friends is a PGA Tour Champions event
• The purse is $2.1 million, with the winner collecting $378,000
• The tournament has generated more than $3.5 million for charity in the first three years

It will be another star show on the banks of the St. Johns River for the fourth Constellation Furyk & Friends Oct. 4-6 at the Timuquana Country Club. 

Players in the field of the PGA Tour Champions event hosted by Jim and Tabitha Furyk have won every significant tournament in the world. They've won the Masters and slipped on the green jacket at the end of a stressful spring day at Augusta National, and captured U.S. Open titles at Shinnecock, Oakland Hills, the Olympic Club and Oakmont. They've won golf's oldest championship, the British Open, at St. Andrews, Carnoustie and Muirfield.

They have won PGA Championships, Players Championships, Ryder Cups both as players and captains and been enshrined among golf's immortals at the World Golf Hall of Fame.

To study the Furyk & Friends field is to get a history lesson of worldwide professional golf over the last four decades.

Led by Schwab Cup points leader, four-time major champion and Hall of Fame member Ernie Els, there will be seven Hall of Famers, 16 major champions who have combined for 27 titles and before the playing of the Pure Insurance Championship Sept. 20-22 at Pebble Beach, 14 of the top-20 players on the Schwab Cup points list had committed to the tournament.

There are also two past FedEx Cup champions (Furyk and Vijay Singh of Ponte Vedra Beach) and five past Players champions ( Davis Love III of St. Simons Island, Ga., Jacksonville native David Duval, Jacksonville resident Fred Funk, Stephen Ames and Lee Janzen. 

Furyk had a theory for why the fields for the first four tournaments have been consistently loaded. 

"Usually, I like to play at my favorite golf courses and it had to have a great title sponsor," he said. "Our players love coming, they've got a great golf course, the food is incredible, our sponsors take care of them ... it just has a big feel. One by one, they come up to me and rave about the event." 

The players did more than that. After only two Furyk & Friends, they voted it the best tournament on the PGA Tour Champions Tour. 

"It was an honor to get that award but it also makes you want to work that much harder to stay at that level," Furyk said. 

Who else is playing at Furyk & Friends? 

The top-five players on the Schwab Cup points list (prior to the Pure Insurance Championship), Els, Ames, Steven Alker and Steve Stricker, along with eight of the top 10. 

Multiple major champions Padraig Harrington, Bernhard Langer, Retief Goosen, Singh, Janzen and John Daly. Langer also will be trying to add to his record as the all-time PGA Tour Champions victory leader. And if anyone's wondering how much gas is left in the 67-year-old Langer's tank, he took a streak of five top-10 finishes to Pebble Beach, beginning with a tie for fifth at the Senior Open, and he forced a playoff at the Ascension Charity Classic, then tied for second at the Sanford International. 

Fourteen of the 16 players who have won the Champions Tour this season. 

What changes are coming to Furyk & Friends? 

It was announced late last year that the Timuquana membership had voted to not renew the five-year contract to host the tournament. That means 2025 will be the final year Furyk & Friends will be at the historic course that two years ago celebrated its 100th anniversary. 

Tournament officials have stressed that the event will stay on the First Coast and if possible, in Duval County. If their desire is the latter, the options for courses able to host a major event, with the infrastructure and potential volunteer base, are limited to the Glen Kernan Country Club, where Furyk is overseeing a redesign and renovation for the new ownership group, or the San Jose Country Club, like Timuquana, a Donald Ross-designed course. 

If the tournament has to venture outside Duval County, the best options would be the Sawgrass Country Club (which hosted Furyk & Friends for 10 years from 2010-2019 when it was a two-day event), the TPC Sawgrass Dye's Valley (which hosted the Kaulig Companies Championship in 1988 and 1989) or either the Slammer & Squire or King & Bear, the two courses linked to the former World Golf Hall of Fame that combined to host the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf four times between 1999-2002. 

An announcement is expected by the end of the year, but no one connected with the tournament was willing to comment. 

What's not going to change? Constellation as the sponsor 

Constellation, an energy company based in Baltimore, has had a relationship with Furyk as an individual sponsor and tournament titles sponsor for more than 20 years and has helped Furyk & Friends raise more than $3.5 million in charity in the first three tournaments, which has benefited 42 non-profits on the First Coast. 

No one believes Constellation is going anywhere and an extension could be announced as soon as tournament week. 

"Our relationship [Furyk and his foundation] spans over two decades now and we both so deeply value the importance of giving back ... a share value in this partnership," said Jim McHugh, executive vice-president and chief commercial officer of Constellation. 

Combine that with a presenting sponsorship with Circle K and other local sponsors, individuals who play in three pro-ams during tournament week and Furyk & Friends is a prime example of how sponsorships work from the title to the pro-am level. 

"They've been amazing," said Tabitha Furyk, who is the President of the Furyk Foundation. "Considering [Constellation] is located [in Baltimore] but they're helping us do amazing things in Jacksonville ... we're proud of that. We're proud of Circle K and so many groups here in Jacksonville that have supported [the tournament]." 

Tournament director Adam Renfroe was optimistic the relationship with Constellation would go another five-year term. 

"We're having very productive conversations about the future," he said. "I fully anticipate we're going to remain with them. They're a golf-savvy company and they know how to leverage the partnership. They're also very good people." 

Furyk & Friends expected to remain in Fall 

Furyk & Friends has had solid ticket sales and attendance, mainly because the tournament doesn't try to fight football. 

The tournament has occupied an early October date all four years so far, with an expectation that it will remain in that slot. Fans can mix football with golf by catching their favorite teams on big-screen TVs in private hospitality venues, the Tailgate Village, a large, open-air spot near the 17th and 18th holes and the Circle K ParTee Porch, which also has views of the seventh, 11th and 12th holes. 

The Furyk & Friends field also is strong because it's in the stretch run to the Schwab Cup Playoffs. There's only one more tournament after the Furyk & Friends for players to make the top-72 on the points list, the SAS Championship in Cary, N.C., Oct. 11-13. The three-tournament Schwab Cup Playoffs begin Oct. 18-20 with the Dominion Energy Charity Classic in Richmond, Va. 

What is the PGA Tour Champions?

Learn the similarities and differences between the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions

• DESCRIPTION Bernhard Langer, the champions tour money leader
• PERMISSION getty image license

The PGA Tour Champions, commonly known as the Champions Tour, is the PGA Tour's professional senior tour, where the best golfers aged 50 and above compete.

Champions Tour Qualifying

In general, qualifying for PGA Tour Champions events is restricted to those players who finished in the top 50 of last year's competition and those age eligible players who are in the top 70 of the all-time money list from PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions events.

In addition, exemptions are given to members of the World Golf Hall of Fame and winners of previous PGA Tour Champions events. As with PGA Tour events, sponsors are also allowed to bring a small number of golfer's into a given event.

A select number of spots in Champions Tour events are also up for grabs each week through Monday qualifying , similar to other professional tours.

History of the Champions Tour

While senior golf tournaments, like the Senior PGA Championship, have been around since 1937, a formal PGA Tour for seniors was not established until 1980. Don January and Arnold Palmer were the tour’s first two winners.

The idea for a senior tour grew out of the highly successful 1978 Legends of Golf tournament at Onion Creek Club in Austin, Texas. The event featured competition from some of the greatest senior golfers at the time who competed in teams of two.

From 1980 until 2002, the tour was known as the Senior PGA Tour before transitioning to the Champions Tour until the latest name change to PGA Tour Champions in 2016.

A typical seasons on the Champions Tour consists of 26 events, mostly in the United States.

PGA Tour & Champions Tour Differences

While sharing many similarities with the PGA Tour, the PGA Tour Champions has several differences.

One difference is the allowance of golf carts at some events. Most of the events take place over three rounds  with 54 holes and no cut instead of four rounds totalling 72 holes with a 36-hole cut on the PGA Tour.

While there are seldom cuts in the PGA Tour Champions events, three of the five senior majors play a standard four-round, 72 hole tournament with a 36-hole cut.

Senior Majors

Just like the PGA Tour, the PGA Tour Champions has its own series of major championships. The senior majors include The Tradition, the Senior PGA Championship, the Senior Players Championship, the U.S. Senior Open, and The Senior Open Championship.

Charles Schwab Cup

Each year, the tour ends in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, the final tournament in a three-tournament play-off series mirrored after the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup.

The Charles Schwab Cup began in 1990 and took its current format in 2016, when the tour moved to a playoff format, and the top 72 players on the money list automatically qualify for the first playoff event.

There is also a Wildcard Weekend the week prior to the playoffs at the SAS Championship which allows for one player who finishes in the top 10 that week, but is outside the money list’s top 72, to advance to the playoffs.

The first playoff event is the Dominion Energy Charity Classic event at Richmond’s Country Club of Virginia James River Course. The second event is the Simmons Bank Championship at Pleasant Valley CC in Little Rock Arkansas, and the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, the final event, takes place at Phoenix Country Club in Phoenix, Arizona.

Champions Tour All-Time Money List

Since the PGA Tour Champions inception in 1980, the circuit continues to grow. Lee Trevino became the first senior tour winner to win $1 million in 1990.

Hale Irwin is the winningest golfer in Champions history with 45 victories, but isn’t at the top of the all-time money winner list. There have been six golfers to surpass the $15 million mark, three have surpassed the $20 million and one player, Bernhard Langer, has made more than $30 million dollars.

As of the finish of the 2023 season, here are the top 10 PGA Tour of Champions All-time Money winners.

Gloomy TV ratings hang over LIV Championship, PGA Tour fall debut

• Follow on Twitter
• Follow on Instagram

Jon Rahm's LIV Individual Championship win came in front of an average audience of 89,000 viewers, per the SBJ.

Most of the time, TV ratings require nuance.

Anyone can read the numbers, but the numbers don’t always tell you everything you need to know. A favorable time slot, pre-broadcast audience tailwinds, or a lack of alternative options can boost a good rating in much the same way a scheduling snafu, extra opponent, or changed timezone can influence a bad one.

But the numbers from this weekend’s professional golf tournaments — the LIV individual championship and the PGA Tour’s Procore Championship — need no such context. They were bad by any objective measure, raising the latest warning of a TV audience exodus driven by years of division and confusion in the pro game.

We’ll start with the PGA Tour, which recorded 69,000 average viewers during Sunday’s final round at the Procore Championship in Napa, less than a quarter of the audience that tuned into Sahith Theegala’s final round victory in the same event last fall.

The Procore Championship (formerly the Fortinet Championship, Safeway Open and Frys Open) was not aided by the same Netflix star-winner support it received in ’23. Instead, PGA Tour journeyman Patton Kizzire seized a five-shot win over a light field. The final round aired opposite the NFL on Golf Channel, which reaches a far smaller audience than most traditional PGA Tour broadcasts on NBC and CBS. Still, the final number was paltry even by Golf Channel’s diminished viewership standards, considering it ranked beneath the August average for a Golf Channel telecast of any kind ( 76,000 ).

Kizzire’s win kicked off a FedEx Cup Fall Season refashioned by the PGA Tour to serve as a feeder series for the big tour. The Tour shifted away from its “wraparound schedule” to amplify its biggest events during the spring and summer months when sports TV competition is comparatively light. But the downside of that shift is that it risks ceding the fall months to the NFL and college football entirely — a change that could further harm the rest of the Tour’s diminishing TV ratings.

The situation was just as dire across the street at LIV, where only 89,000 average viewers tuned into Sunday’s final round of the league’s individual championship in Chicago, less than one-third of the 286,000 viewers that tuned into the league’s first event on the CW in Mexico last February.

LIV’s ratings were closer to its averages, but the league didn’t have the PGA Tour’s built-in challenges of a journeyman winner, a weaker point in its yearlong schedule or an event that aired exclusively on cable. Rather, LIV’s averages — which fall safely below the August averages on such cable channels as Great American Family, Disney Junior and Up TV — came from the final round of what might be its biggest event of the year, with one of the league’s highest-priced stars claiming a big-money victory on the league’s typical broadcast network home, the CW.

We’ll point out here that LIV and the PGA Tour faced lots of competition in the sports world this weekend, including a typical bludgeoning from the NFL’s TV behemoth and a pair of in-house competitors, the Irish Open and Solheim Cup. These items no doubt combined to steal market share from the two major pro tour telecasts, but it’s also fair to ask if, even given these headwinds, telecasts from the two largest pro tours in the world should be capable of producing viewership larger than a combined 158,000 average viewers.

Tempting as it is to focus on these questions, or more specific issues with either league’s television and competitive products, another gloomy batch of ratings raises bigger concerns about the health of the sport’s TV product more broadly.

LIV’s intrusion into the sport has made pros fabulously wealthy and infused billions in new investment, but it has cost golf dearly in terms of public goodwill. Scores of casual golf fans have reported tuning out of pro golf after being angered by the sport’s partisan rancor, turned off by its lack of week-to-week star power, disinterested in its new competitive formats or confused by the on-again, off-again state of peace talks between the two sides, which have now stretched to 15 months without any clear solutions.

Over the last nine months, executives at both leagues and several networks have slow-walked concerns raised about the state of the TV audience, but the growing number of questions surrounding sagging ratings underscored a deeper truth: the numbers were dropping.

“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves when it comes to the ratings stuff. It’s early to be worried,” CBS Sports chief David Berson told GOLF in May , a point echoed in later months by executives at NBC, LIV, and more recently, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan.

At the end of the 2024 regular season, SBJ’s Josh Carpenter quoted one PGA Tour network partner as having faced a year-over-year ratings swoon of 15 to 17 percent, far outpacing the dips faced by other sports properties as cord-cutting continues to proliferate.

“I think when you look at 2024, it’s important to note, and I’m going to note it, that overall consumption across our platforms in aggregate is up,” Monahan said at the Tour Championship last month . “That’s a really good sign for the PGA Tour and the engagement that we have with our fans.”

Consumption data is good for optics, but ratings are still where sports leagues and networks make their money. The value of a sports TV deal is tied intrinsically to the size of the audience and the volume of advertisements sold — without either, a deal isn’t nearly as valuable.

This is why LIV has struggled to gain a noticeable foothold with advertisers and corporate partners, and why it has entertained extending its agreement with the CW despite those same audience development struggles. It’s also why the PGA Tour is spending the fall looking for innovative solutions for its telecasts, including its curious influencer pilot program, the “Creator Classic.”

None of this is to say that pro golf is headed in a hopeless direction, or that the losses of the last several years are unfixable next to the combined financial might of golf’s two major pro tours. It is to say, however, that the problem of television ratings in golf is real, and that each of golf’s stakeholders bears a piece of the responsibility.

After the latest round of ratings, it’s okay to be blunt.
