Jim Furyk won't play in his PGA Tour Champions event for first time
Jim Furyk will be a fixture next week at the Constellation Furyk & Friends PGA Tour Champions event he hosts at the Ocean Course at Hammock Beach in Palm Coast. Just not with a golf club in his hand. Furyk said he would not be playing in the tournament for the first time since it began in 2021 at the Timuquana Country Club in Jacksonville, saying his back doesn't hold up over a week that usually includes two pro-ams and 54 holes of competitive golf in Champions Tour events. "I can play golf … everyday life is good," said the 17-time PGA Tour winner and 2003 U.S. Open Champion. "But playing five rounds of golf in a row puts a lot of stress on my back." That's not to say Furyk won't be busy. He will be engaging with sponsors and fans every day, helping out more with tournament operations and appearing on Golf Channel's broadcast each day. Furyk began working with Golf Channel last March at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and has since been an analyst at The Players and the Masters. He's looking forward to helping showcase the Ocean Course, a Jack Nicklaus design that includes sweeping oceanside

Ocean, Wind and Pressure: Hammock Beach Awaits PGA Tour Champions
At the Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS, a new home brings a new kind of pressure: four oceanfront closing holes where a victory can vanish in the wind. Beginning Oct. 9, the PGA Tour Champions event will make its first appearance at Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa after five years in Jacksonville. The move is more than a 60-mile trip south. It brings the tournament to one of Florida’s most distinctive golf settings: a Jack Nicklaus Signature design whose closing stretch, the Bear Claw, becomes every bit as formidable as its name when the wind picks up.
