Grammy Award winner Justin Timberlae is getting his own golf tournament. The 26-year-old singer will host the PGA Tour event in Las Vegas, which will be renamed the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. The five-year agreement will kick off October 13-19, 2008 with Justin becoming the 14th celebrity to host an event, joining the likes of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Glen Campbell. “I couldn’t be more excited,” said Justin. “We will make sure to make this event unique and memorable. We will raise money for charity while participating in the greatest game ever played. I thank the PGA Tour and the Shriners Hospitals for Children this amazing opportunity. Raising money to better children’s lives while playing golf? I can’t think of a better way to pass the time.”
