The Q-tip is at it again. Justin Timberlake’s name is often bandied about in the world of golf. The buff mouseketeer is
often seen on the golf course and plays in Pro-Ams and celebrity tournaments, and with his six handicap has talked about wanting to turn pro. Whether or not that ever happens, now he’s found a way to be an official part of the PGA Tour without being a member.
Today, the Tour announced that Justin will be the host of its Las Vegas event starting in 2008, with a five year contract. Formerly sponsored by Frys.com, the event will now be known as the Justin Timberlake Shriner’s Hospitals for Children Open. Says Justin: “Raising money to better children’s lives while playing golf? I can’t think of a better way to pass the time.” Can’t argue with that – raising money for any worthy cause while playing golf is about as Pabstian* as it comes.
*“It doesn’t get any better than this.”
Naturally, JT will play in the event’s pro-am, but he also plans to host a concert during the week of the tournament. No word on whether money raised from the concert will benefit Shriner’s, but I’m guessing it will, at least in part. Which would make sense: “Music” for children benefiting children. Nice match, Justin. Congrats on your new gig.

With that beard and Hat he is wearing it is hard to tell if he is playing golf or Deer Hunting.

True – not wild about those cuffed pants, either. But the kid’s got taste in shoes. Those are Ecco Crossfires!

Let’s have Justing do a duet with kazoo playing golfer Kenny G. Then we can have George Lopez do his “comedy” after that.
Barf bag please.
