PALM COAST, Fla. — The Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS presented by Circle K will debut at its stunning new home, Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa, in 2026 — bringing world-class golf, meaningful charitable impact, and a significant economic boost to Florida’s Palm Coast community.
Tournament Director Adam Renfroe welcomed guests and media, saying, “We’re excited to expand the footprint of the Jim and Tabitha Furyk Foundation and to preview what fans can expect from our debut event in 2026.”
The partnership between Constellation, the PGA TOUR Champions, and the Jim and Tabitha Furyk Foundation has been a model of purpose-driven collaboration. For title sponsor Constellation, the event offers more than branding — it’s an experience.
Where Deals Are Made
“At Constellation, partnerships like this are key elements of our overall marketing strategy,” said Jim McHugh, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer.
“The Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS is definitely the marquee partnership in our portfolio and the title sponsorship really gives us the opportunity for a very unique experiences with all the folks that come down to be part of the event with us,” shared McHugh.
“Just this past 2025 tournament we had well over 100 or 150 of our key customers that were able to be here and really spend time with our day-to-day contacts and the senior leaders of Constellation in a relaxed environment and that just makes for a good place to talk to and establish these relationships with our customers. We’re looking forward to bringing that to Hammock Beach to have a whole new customer hospitality experience for them.
And then really on the opposite side, the business side is just our long-standing partnership with Jim and Tabitha. It’s grounded in just shared values that we have between Constellation and the Furyks and they’re all foundational for this event. We’re so thrilled that the tournament showcases community engagement and gives back to organizations that are doing wonderful work in the community and we want to extend that impact to here in the Palm Coast area,” he said.
“Events like this are super impactful to our community from an economic development standpoint,” said John Phillips, President of the Palm Coast-Flagler Regional Chamber of Commerce.
“The media, PR value of showcasing Flagler County and the Hammock Beach Golf Resort on television and through all the media reporting, ESPN, Golf Channel, there’s incredible value there. This is a great day for our community.”
Giving Back, Local
Since its inception, in partnership with Constellation, the event has raised over $5 million for charity, funding programs that fight hunger, build homes, and expand environmental education according to Tabitha Furyk, President of the Foundation.
“Charity is at the heart of what they do, it’s what we do, and I think what makes us such great partners is that we really want to impact and be positive about the communities and the work that we’re doing in them,” she said.
Members Barbara Ungerman, Andrea Kelly, and Bernadette Walsh are already looking ahead to the positive impacts the event will make on the community.
“This is something that benefits the Club a great deal,” said Ungerman, a member of the Advisory Board of Governors. “The best part is we’re giving back. Charity is an important thing to all three of us right here.”
Kelly, also a member of the advisory board in addition to serving as president of the Club’s homeowners’ association, is thrilled to see the event on the schedule. “It’s just going to be really exciting for all of us who have invested in this community,” she said.
As the treasurer of the Ocean Hammock Outreach Committee, Walsh is deeply involved in the area’s charitable networks. She has already started a conversation regarding charitable opportunities with the Furyks.
“I already spoke to her when she came in. Hopefully we’ll be able to get a lot of people to help donate to this event,” added Walsh.
Showcasing Florida’s Most Prestigious Ocean Course
Hammock Beach General Manager Brad Hauer took time to share the many benefits of hosting the event at the resort.
“With six holes right on the ocean, a mile of oceanfront golf, a Jack Nicklaus signature designed golf course, this is lined up to just be a phenomenal tournament for the players,” said Hauser.
“We have beautiful accommodations, we have the restaurants, the pools, the beach access, spa and the fitness. But what’s really super important about this property and we discussed it a lot on the tours taking Jim and Tabitha around are the outdoor venues that we have here. For the concerts, all the food and beverage functions that are going to take place, it’s just absolutely spectacular,” he added before revealing the most important factor.
“And then finally, what really brings us to life is our team members, the people that work here. We have over 100 that have been here 10-plus years that just know the mission of service and how important this event’s going to be for us under the leadership of our managing director, Carlton Grant,” he said with pride.
Fun for the Whole Family
That excitement extends beyond golf. The tournament’s signature mix of sports, music, and family fun will be part of the Palm Coast experience.
“We’ve provided this great environment that’s a lot of fun,” added Tabitha. “There is some golf going on in the background but we always make sure that we’re great food, great fun and great music, and we don’t want that to change, right? We want to bring that here. We want to bring that family environment where you come, have a great time together whether you’re entertaining clients or you’re walking around with your kids.”
Tournament co-host and 17-time PGA TOUR winner Jim Furyk said the resort’s beauty made the decision easy.
“I came walking through the back doors top of the steps right next to the steakhouse, looked down and went, oh, my goodness, look how beautiful this is. Staring at the beach, the event lawn, the golf course,” he said. “When we walked through those doors and learned more about what you’re doing here, Brad and his team feel like family, we knew we were in the right spot and we’re excited for our opportunity and our next step.
Miller Brady, President of PGA TOUR Champions, was enthusiastic about the warm welcome they’ve received.
“The players love being here. You mentioned earlier, you stay here, you eat here, you entertain here, you roll out to the practice facility. So, the players are going to love the experience.”
The Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS takes place at the Hammock Beach Resort October 5 – 11, 2026 —where championship golf meets coastal charm, and every swing makes a difference.
