Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS presented by Circle K, a premier PGA TOUR Champions event in Florida, is officially heading to Hammock Beach. The Club’s award-winning Ocean Course will serve as the tournament venue, welcoming the most legendary names in golf to Palm Coast.

What Is FURYK & FRIENDS?

FURYK & FRIENDS  is a competitive golf tournament with a charitable focus that was founded by Jim Furyk, a 2003 U.S. Open Champion and PGA TOUR Champion. The event, which is organized by the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation, unites top athletes, supporters, and sponsors to raise funds for Northeast Florida charities.

The tournament is renowned for its charitable values, off-course fun, and difficult field. It has backed many causes over the years, such as education, military families, and health. When it relocates to the oceanfront golf course at Hammock Beach, its new home on the Florida Atlantic coast, in 2026, it will broaden its reach!

Hammock Beach: A True Tournament Destination

It is not only a significant accomplishment to bring a PGA TOUR Champions event to Florida, but it also demonstrates the quality of golf at Hammock Beach. The Club was established on a love of the game, and holding the PGA TOUR Champions event, the 2026 Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS, only serves to reinforce that goal. Members test themselves on the Ocean Course every day, and in 2026, some of the biggest names in golf will join them.

For Hammock Beach, this event is more than a tournament. It’s a chance to honor the game, support great causes, and put the spotlight on a Club that’s already famous for its championship golf and breathtaking oceanfront setting.

The Ocean Course at Hammock Beach: Built for Champions

Jack Nicklaus created the Ocean Course at Hammock Beach with a mission: to craft a course that would test golfers while highlighting the natural beauty of the Atlantic coastline. The outcome is a design that’s as visually striking as it is strategically sophisticated, perfect for the 2026 Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS.

Key Features:

  • Par 72 | 7,201 yards
  • Designed to emphasize wind, water, and natural movement
  • Oceanfront holes with elevation changes and protected greens
  • Several tee boxes to suit a wide range of players
  • Platinum Paspalum greens and fairways for smooth, consistent play in coastal climates
  •  

This course isn’t just postcard-pretty; it’s a test of skill, patience, and judgment. Every hole makes you think, and every round is unique.

The Bear Claw

Hole-by-Hole Drama: The Bear Claw

The Bear Claw, the Ocean Course’s last section, is one of Florida’s most iconic coastal golf settings. Holes 15 through 18 provide expansive views of the Atlantic while hugging the dunes.

  • Hole 15: A par-4 that often demands more club than expected.
  • Hole 16: A challenging par-4 requiring an accurate drive and a long iron approach.
  • Hole 17: A par-3 with elevation and crosswinds that test control.
  • Hole 18: A risk-reward par-4 that closes the round with options for aggressive play or a smart finish.

The stretch alone makes the Ocean Course at Hammock Beach worthy of the spotlight, and it’s where many matches will be decided in 2026.

Play Where the Pros Play: Experience Oceanfront Golf in Florida

The chance to host FURYK & FRIENDS reinforces what Hammock Beach Members already know: this is one of the premier championship golf courses in Florida. From the opening tee shot to the final putt, the Ocean Course delivers the kind of experience typically reserved for the pro circuit.

Hammock Beach’s daily play is anything but typical. Players come back time and time again for the challenges and the sheer fun of the game because of the ocean breeze, the strategic layout, and the course's organic flow. It’s the best chance to play in Florida, where the pros play.

Why Hosting Matters

Bringing FURYK & FRIENDS to Hammock Beach is about more than just golf. The tournament has always been based on philanthropy, using professional golf as a means to bring meaningful change. That goal, which unites people via great golf, unforgettable events, and a mutual love for the game, complements the experience that Hammock Beach provides.

In addition to providing Members with the chance to see and take part in something genuinely unique, the 2026 event will bring the Club a new audience. It’s a unique opportunity to witness a PGA TOUR Champions moment on home soil, whether you’re volunteering, watching, or just walking the same course as the pros.
