Maine Celebrity Golf Tournament Announces Big Names in 2025 Lineup

Following another incredible tournament in 2024, celebs from the entertainment, music, and sports worlds will once again hit the links in Falmouth, Maine, in June of this year.

The 2024 Drive FORE Kids Charity Golf Tournament was a Smashing Success

After a successful inaugural tournament, Shamrock Sports & Entertainment once again hosted Drive Fore Kids, a celebrity golf tournament benefiting local charities. The event took place at Falmouth Country Club, just a short drive from Portland.

The celebrity field for the tournament's second year was highly impressive. Patrick Dempsey, Roger Clemens, Doug Flutie, Marshall Faulk, and Ronde Barber were just a few of the big names who teed off in pursuit of golf supremacy and to help promote an amazing cause.

The total prize purse for the celebrities was $265,000, with the winner taking home $50,000. That's not a bad chunk of change for a weekend of work. Plus, is golf really work?

Former tennis star Mardy Fish claimed the honor of winning the tournament. The six-time ATP Tour winner is known for being one of the best celebrity golfers on the circuit.

But we all know what this tournament was truly about, and that's giving back. Kudos to all the players, sponsors, and folks behind the scenes for putting together such a beautiful event for the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital and Dempsey Center.

According to Shamrock, Drive Fore Kids raised a total of $100,000 for both organizations. That is a stunning number that everyone should be extremely proud of.

Are we ready for Round 3? Well, Shamrock and plenty of celebrities are, because the dates for this year's tournament have officially been announced.

The 3rd Annual Drive Fore Kids is scheduled for June 19-22, 2025. It will be back at Falmouth Country Club, and many celebrities have already announced they plan to return.
