Darius Rucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Brothers Osborne to Perform at 36th Albertsons Boise Open Presented by Chevron

3/24/2025

 
Tickets go on sale Tuesday, March 25th at 9:00am.
All daily tickets include admission to the Albertsons Boise Open golf tournament and concert after Golf.
 
The 36th annual Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron announced the concert lineup today for this year’s event to be held August 14 – 17 at Hillcrest Country Club. The Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron features four days of PGA TOUR golf with three concerts at Hillcrest in the evenings following each of the first three tournament rounds. 
 
Last year, the Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron delivered more than THREE MILLION DOLLARS to charities. The event will continue its rich history of supporting charity by adding to the $39 Million raised since the inaugural event in 1990, the most by any Korn Ferry Tour event.
 
A portion of the money raised for charity will once again come from the Mondelez Tickets Support Charity Program where 100% of all event ticket sales support local charities. Through the Mondelez Tickets Support Charity program, all ticket purchasers will once again select the local charity their ticket purchase will support.
 
The concerts will kick off following golf on Thursday, August 14th with Darius Rucker. Rucker first achieved multi-Platinum status in the music industry as lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the GRAMMY Award-winning band Hootie & the Blowfish, who have sold more than 25 million albums worldwide including their Double Diamond-certified (22x Platinum) debut Cracked Rear View, which remains among the top 10 best-selling studio albums of all time. Since releasing his first Country album in 2008, Rucker has earned a whole new legion of fans with four No. 1 albums on the Billboard Country chart plus 10 No. 1 singles at Country radio and 11 Gold, Platinum or multi-Platinum certified hits. Rucker was inducted as a Grand Ole Opry member in 2012 and he won his third career GRAMMY Award in 2014 for Best Solo Country Performance with his Diamond-certified (11x Platinum) version of “Wagon Wheel,” one of the top five best-selling Country songs of all time.
 
Following golf on Friday night, Lynyrd Skynyrd will take the stage. More than a half century after the release of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s critically acclaimed debut album they resonate as deeply with their multi-generational fan base today as when they first emerged out of Jacksonville, Florida in 1973.  Few ensembles have had the deep impact in creating a lifestyle as Skynyrd has. The band travels forward with a primary mission of celebrating a legacy that honors all whom have had a resonating contribution to the lives of hundreds of millions of fans globally. With a catalog of over 60 albums, billions of streams, tens of millions of records sold, and the introduction of Hell House whiskey, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remain a cultural icon that appeal to all generations.
 
On Saturday night, Brothers Osborne will rock the stage. The reigning CMA and ACM Duo of the Year winners, John and TJ Osborne are leaders of a progressive and still classic school of country music, and the faces of the new generation of Nashville. The siblings took home their first GRAMMY in 2022, winning Best Country Duo/Group Performance for their song “Younger Me,” inspired by TJ's recent coming out. The song is featured on the deluxe version of their GRAMMY-nominated album, Skeletons. The band has been nominated for 12 GRAMMYs in total, standing as six-time CMA Vocal Duo of the Year winners and are four-time ACM Duo of the Year winners. Overall, they have collected seven CMA awards, seven ACM trophies and received the ASCAP Vanguard Award in 2019. Their critically acclaimed hit songs have tallied multiple RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications, while surpassing more than 2.7 Billion global streams. 
 
“We are excited to announce another entertaining concert lineup for this year’s Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron,” said Jeff Sanders, CEO of Jeff Sanders Entertainment, the company that promotes and operates the event. “Thanks to our amazing title sponsor, Albertsons, presenting sponsor, Chevron, over 125 major sponsors and 850 loyal Boise volunteers, we look forward to breaking the $40 MILLION mark for charities since our first Albertsons Boise Open in 1990.”

Matt McCarty wins Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron, earns Three-Victory Promotion to PGA TOUR

8/25/2024

 
Seven weeks ago, Matt McCarty walked off the 18 green at TPC Colorado without a Korn Ferry Tour win and having lost a three-stroke 54-hole lead. As it turned out, the setback was merely the start of a historic run to the PGA TOUR.

McCarty bounced back the very next week, winning the Price Cutter Charity Championship presented by Dr Pepper. Three starts later, a win at the Pinnacle Bank Championship presented by Woodhouse. And this week, in what was his second start as a two-time winner, McCarty closed out a two-stroke victory at the Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron and earned the coveted Three-Victory Promotion.

McCarty, who led by three strokes through 36 holes and carried a one-stroke lead into the final round, countered four bogeys with six birdies en route to a 2-under 69 Sunday at Hillcrest Country Club. The Scottsdale, Arizona native totaled 21-under 263 for the tournament, good enough for a two-stroke victory over Kevin Roy and William Mouw, both of whom, along with Ryan Gerard, earned #TOURBound declarations of their own.

But only McCarty officially became a PGA TOUR member Sunday evening in Boise, Idaho.

The trophy and winner’s check were bonus prizes. For McCarty, the most desired piece of hardware was the PGA TOUR card a tournament official handed him shortly before the trophy ceremony came to a close.

“A little surreal, for sure… just really grinded it out and was happy to hang on in the end,” McCarty said moments prior to pulling the PGA TOUR card out of his pocket. “The card was the best part. I got handed my (PGA TOUR) badges walking out of scoring, so that was pretty cool, too. I knew I was going to get it, but it’s different having it.”

McCarty became the first player since Mito Pereira to achieve the Three-Victory Promotion. Pereira accomplished the feat in the 2020-21 season, which spanned two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to Sunday, the last Korn Ferry Tour player to win three times in a single calendar year season was Wesley Bryan in 2016.

The Three-Victory Promotion grants McCarty immediate eligibility for PGA TOUR events, meaning he will join the TOUR’s priority ranking for the FedExCup Fall.

McCarty also extended his lead over the No. 2 player on the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour Points List, Max McGreevy, to 687 points. With only three events remaining in the season-ending Korn Ferry Tour Finals, no other player is within 880 points of McCarty on the Points List.

While the top 30 players on the Points List upon conclusion of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance will earn PGA TOUR membership for the 2025 season, the No. 1 player also earns exemptions for the 2025 PLAYERS Championship and 2025 U.S. Open.

The first two events in the FedExCup Fall – Procore Championship and Sanderson Farms Championship – conflict with Korn Ferry Tour Finals events, leaving McCarty with some decisions to make as he looks to solidify the No. 1 spot on the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour Points List.

“I haven’t really thought about it,” McCarty said. “The goal is to get the No. 1 spot. We’ll maybe play some (FedExCup) Fall events, have some fun out there and look forward to continuing to get better and compete out there next year.”

McCarty birdied the first four holes in Sunday’s final round, but his playing partners in the final group – 19-year-old Korn Ferry Tour winner Aldrich Potgieter and 23-year-old William Mouw – went 3-under par across the same stretch.

After the group struggled through the rest of the front nine, McCarty birdied the par-4 12th, only to come back to the field with back-to-back bogeys at the par-4 14th and 15th. McCarty’s lead dwindled to just one stroke until a birdie at the par-5 16th provided an extra cushion.

McCarty finished the win with two-putt pars at the par-3 17th and par-4 18th.

“Playing golf how I know I can play it is more satisfying than anything,” McCarty said. “It wasn’t easy to win. It doesn’t get any easier. This was probably the hardest day I’ve had out of all three (wins) Sunday. It’s a grind out here, always is.

“It’s just been a lot of grinding, and a lot of hard work,” said McCarty, who will have two weeks to determine where he will tee it up next, whether it be the Procore Championship on the PGA TOUR, or the Simmons Bank Open for the Snedeker Foundation on the Korn Ferry Tour. “The next two weeks or whatever it is are going to be very welcomed. Some rest on the couch, and football season starting, so that will be fun.”

While the trio will not officially earn PGA TOUR cards until the conclusion of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance, scheduled for October 3-6, Gerard (T7), Mouw (T2), and Roy (T2) were all declared #TOURBound Sunday. The three are now assured of a top-30 finish on the Points List and PGA TOUR membership for the 2025 season.

The top 144 players on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List are eligible to compete in the Simmons Bank Open for the Snedeker Foundation (September 12-15), the second of four Korn Ferry Tour Finals events. Three players who began the week outside of the top 144 played their way into the top 144: Bryson Nimmer (T12), Bill Haas (T24), and Morgan Hoffmann (T24).

Quotables
Matt McCarty on what the hardest thing about Sunday’s final round will be… “I think just staying focused on what I'm doing and continuing to just hit fairways and give myself looks. Got chased down a lot today by a lot of people. The course is gettable. Everybody is playing well. It'll be tough. It's not easy to win golf tournaments. I wouldn't say it's been easy for me the last couple ‑‑ month and a half, but it's been very tough before that. Just understanding how difficult it is and knowing that and just kind of keep reminding myself of that tomorrow.”
 
McCarty on what he’s learned about himself the last couple months… “I'm just most proud of, after winning in Springfield, just continuing to play well. I think knowing that this is the level of golf that I'm capable of, but being able to continue that, as well, just on a lot of different golf courses. Springfield, Omaha, this place, they're all different. It's still golf, still the same thing, but you're hitting a lot of different shots. Just being able to do that, and just being able to play well and continue this streak.”

Quotables
Matt McCarty on whether a shorter course like Hillcrest Country Club plays to his strengths… “Yeah, I mean, I think you can kind of play as aggressive as you want, and if you drive it well while doing that, you can really have some like easy looks. That freedom of just kind of being able to play it a little bit more aggressive is probably nice. You kind of got to do everything well. I haven't hit my wedges too well, but I've been making a lot of, you know, 20‑footers, so it's been good.”
 
McCarty on if Hillcrest reminds him of other courses he enjoyed success at… “San Jose Country Club; we played out there in college. It's very similar. It's tight. If you drive it well, you can give yourself a lot of good looks. I think being accurate off the tee kind of like plays into my hand a little bit. Yeah, the greens are good, course is in great shape.

Quotables
Kevin Roy on his first-round 9-under 62… “I've been playing really good golf for a while now, I just haven't really seen many putts go in. Obviously they all kind of went in today, which was a really cool feeling, and it was a lot of fun to see 'em go in.”
 
Roy on his current position on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List… “I feel pretty comfortable where we're at. It's been a very weird year with all the two‑time winners. I would never use the term "locked," but we feel pretty comfortable where we're at. There's obviously four more events still. Our goal is always to get to #TOURBound before I get to French Lick, so off to a good start.”

35th Albertsons Boise Open Presented by Chevron Raises Over $3 MILLION for Charity Setting Korn Ferry Tour Record

8/20/2024

In front of 800 tournament sponsors, local media partners and special guests at the Hershey Company Pro-Am Dinner, Albertsons and Chevron executives announced over $3 MILLION was raised for charity from this year’s Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron. The donation brings the 35-year charity total to $39 MILLION, a record on the Korn Ferry Tour.
 
“We are thrilled to announce over $3 Million dollars for deserving charities again this year thanks to the amazing support of Albertsons, Chevron, our treasured sponsors, the great fans of Boise and our 800 hard-working volunteers,” said Jeff Sanders, CEO of Jeff Sanders Entertainment, the event’s management company. “We look forward to entertaining our fans in Boise this week, showcasing PGA TOUR golf by day and sold-out concerts by night.”
 
The Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron is the first event of the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, featuring the top 156 Korn Ferry Tour players as they compete to earn their PGA TOUR cards for the 2025 PGA TOUR season. So far this PGA TOUR season, 30 tournaments have been won by players who came through Boise on the Korn Ferry Tour including the top ranked player in the world Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, Chris Kirk, Akshay Bhatia and more.
 
Again this year, the event will feature three concerts after golf, August 22-24 on the 18th fairway at Hillcrest Country Club.
 
The concerts will kick off following golf on Thursday, August 22nd with Jon Pardi. Currently headlining his worldwide Mr. Saturday Night World Tour, Pardi recently released new music from an upcoming project, “Cowboys and Plowboys” ft. Luke Bryan, as the follow up single to his sixth career #1 on Country radio, “Your Heart Or Mine,” off of his ACM Album of the Year nominated project, Mr. Saturday Night. The album earned Pardi back-to-back Album of the Year nominations and reunited the producing team of Bart Butler, Ryan Gore and Pardi, the same team behind the boards of his critically acclaimed CMA and ACM Album of the Year nominated project, Heartache Medication. Heartache Medication debuted among the top albums on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and was named in 2019 Rolling Stone’s “Best Album of the Year” and by the Los Angeles Times as one of the (Top 10) “Best Albums of the Year.”
 
Following golf on Friday night, Daryl Hall will take the stage. Daryl Hall is a modern-day renaissance man, an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the best-selling duo of all time, the star of his very own award-winning web series-turned-TV staple, Live from Daryl’s House, as well as a successful venue owner with “Daryl’s House,” a restored venue and live music space in Pawling, N.Y. Since signing his first record deal in 1972, the Philadelphia soul man is still achieving career milestones more than four decades later, continuing to perform with his band to sold out venues everywhere.

On Saturday night, Goo Goo Dolls will rock the stage. Formed by Rzeznik and Takac in Buffalo, NY during 1986, Goo Goo Dolls have quietly broken records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans, and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. Beyond selling 15 million records worldwide, the group has garnered four GRAMMY® Award nominations and nearly a dozen platinum & gold singles combined, and seized a page in the history books by achieving 16 number one and Top 10 hits. As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10 Singles.” Among a string of hits, “Iris” clutched #1 on the Hot 100 for 18 straight weeks and would be named “#1 Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years.” On the heels of going viral on TikTok, the track recently achieved seven-times-platinum status and re-entered the Billboard charts, yet again proving the timelessness of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog.
 
Tickets for the concert days are sold out but Sunday tickets are still available for only $10. The concerts are sponsored by Smithfield Foods on Thursday, Tyson Foods on Friday and Wayne-Sanderson Farms on Saturday.
   
In addition to the great golf and concert admission, all tickets will include admission to five on-course hospitality venues - the Albertsons Wine Bar & Chill Zone, Corona Premier Beach Club, Michelob Ultra Fan Pavilion & Beers Fore Birdies featuring the Albertsons Signature Café, Coors Light Fan Deck, and the United Rentals Heroes Outpost.
 
Sunday’s Final Round will feature Junior Day sponsored by St. Luke’s Health Plan. Junior Day will include a free tournament logo’d hat and lunch for the first 500 kids in attendance as well as free golf games and golf lessons from PGA Professionals. Kids 15 and under get free admission all week.
