PGA TOUR winner, University of Nevada Las Vegas alum and Las Vegas resident Charley Hoffman is excited to announce the Charley Hoffman Foundation Pro-Am on Monday Oct. 18, 2010. The event will be played at TPC Summerlin, the host course of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, an Official PGA TOUR Event.

Hoffman and his wife Stacy created the Foundation in 2009 to raise awareness and financial support for a variety of children’s charities in their native San Diego as well as their adopted hometown of Las Vegas. The inaugural Charley Hoffman Foundation Pro-Am was held in February 2010 in San Diego and helped raise more than $100,000 for the San Diego Junior Golf Association (SDJGA). This will be Hoffman’s First Pro-Am event in Las Vegas and will benefit the following Las Vegas charities: Blessings in a Backpack, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Goodie Two Shoes Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Las Vegas, as well as the Transportation Fund of the local Zelzah Shrine Temple.

Participants of the Pro-Am will enjoy the unique opportunity to play a round of golf inside the ropes of an official PGA TOUR tournament course alongside a professional PGA TOUR player. The modified shamble will start at 1 p.m. after Hoffman provides a clinic, divulging the secrets of his great golf game. Concluding play, participating amateurs and professionals will honor winners at a reception on The Hill, the tournament’s entertainment pavilion, overlooking the 18th hole of TPC Summerlin.
