Overview
- The PGA Tour and the LeBron James Family Foundation announced the LeBron James Family Foundation Invitational on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026, for July 6–7, 2027 at Firestone Country Club’s South Course in Akron.
- Organizers confirmed the event will run two days and include on-course competitions for amateurs and professionals from the Tour’s Pathway to Progression Pro‑Bound Five program.
- The schedule also includes off-course mentorship that will connect students in James’s I Promise program with Pathway alumni to provide coaching, exposure and fundraising for Akron youth.
- Key logistics such as the exact competitive format, the list of professional and celebrity participants, and broadcast plans have not been finalized and will be announced later by the Tour and the Foundation.
- Firestone’s South Course returns to high-profile golf for the community after losing its regular Tour stop, and the Invitational aims to use that history to spotlight efforts to expand golf opportunities for underrepresented players.
