So far this PGA TOUR season, 25 of the 36 tournaments have been won by players who came through Boise on the Korn Ferry Tour in recent years including World Number 1 Scottie Scheffler, U.S. Open Champion Wyndham Clark, Keegan Bradley, Max Homa, Justin Thomas, Viktor Hovland, Tony Finau, Jason Day, Rickie Fowler and many more. The Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron will be the first of three Korn Ferry Tour Finals events to feature the top 156 Korn Ferry Tour players from the 2023 regular season as they compete for 30 PGA TOUR cards for the 2023-2024 PGA TOUR season.
 
Albertsons EVP and Chief Operations Officer, Susan Morris spoke about the Albertsons Boise Open’s rich history of supporting charity, raising nearly $33 Million since 1990. She explained that once again a significant portion of the money raised for charity will again come from the Mondelez Tickets Support Charity Program, where 100% of all ticket sales support local charities. Through the Mondelez Tickets for Charity program, all ticket purchasers will select one of 40 local charities that their ticket purchase will support.
 
Following Morris, Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron Executive Director and JSE CEO, Jeff Sanders, spoke to the crowd about the new fan enhancements at the event this August 24-27. 
  
Again this year, the event will feature three nights of concerts after golf on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, August 24-26 at Hillcrest CC. 
 
The concerts will kick off following golf on Thursday, August 24th with nine-time Grammy winner, Sheryl Crow. Crow’s first nine studio albums have sold 35 million copies worldwide; seven charted in the Top 10, and five were certified for Multi-Platinum sales. Most recently, the full-length documentary film based on Crow’s life and career, entitled Sheryl, premiered to critical acclaim at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival ahead of its network premiere on SHOWTIME. She will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this coming November.
 
Following golf on Friday night, rock and roll legend Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will take the stage. Formed in 1979 and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts have had eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles, including the classic “Bad Reputation,” “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll,” “I Hate Myself For Loving You,” and “Crimson and Clover.”
