“You’ve Got a Friend in Me” Congratulations to Phil Mickleson on winning the Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS presented by Circle K! I just keep hearing in my head… Randy Newman’s “Toy Story” hit… “You’ve got a friend in me.” The Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation created a new event to PGA TOUR Champions in 2021. The event promised to bring a unique approach to golf with our celebrity friends attending and a focus on music, food and fun for all. Held at Timuquana Country Club, October 4-10, 2021 in Jacksonville, Florida, the proceeds will be benefiting North East Florida charities. The Music… was provided a major concert on Thursday evening by Darius Rucker and Scotty McCrurry. Food

was provided be the master chefs of the Country Club at Timuquana… and the fun was the final day… watching the battle to the championship… that came down to the final putt on the 18th green on Sunday afternoon. During the trophy presentation… Jim Furyk mentioned that, “I was so excited when the commitment came through from Phil Mickelson… then I sat there and thought about the fact that my chances of winning our own tournament… just diminished slightly.” What a great event to pull off for the first year and was truly a major success. We’ll see you in 2022. Talk about friends… You’ve got one in us!
