Albertsons Companies to Extend Title Sponsorship of Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron Through 2028

Albertsons Companies Inc. announced today that the retailer is extending its title sponsorship of the Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron for three additional years, ensuring the event will continue through 2028.  
 
It was also announced that Hillcrest Country Club will continue as the event’s host venue and Jeff Sanders Entertainment, Inc. will remain the event management company through 2028.
 
This year’s Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron will be held August 14-17 at Hillcrest Country Club and marks the 36th consecutive year that Albertsons has been the title sponsor and Hillcrest Country Club the host venue. 
 
The announcement by Albertsons Cos. Chief Executive Officer Susan Morris was made earlier today at the Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron Media Day sponsored by Coca-Cola which hosted 150 local media, sponsors, special guests and representatives from the PGA TOUR.
 
“We are immensely proud to extend our title sponsorship of the Albertsons Boise Open for three more years,” said Morris. “This marquee event is a special opportunity to give back to the Boise community – home to our corporate headquarters and our very first Albertsons grocery store – while deepening collaboration with valued suppliers, supporting the next generation of golfers, and helping raise substantial funds for organizations that uplift people’s lives.”
 
The Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron will continue its rich history of supporting the community by adding to the $39 million raised since the inaugural event in 1990. Over the last three years, at least $3 million was raised at each event.  
 
“We are grateful for 36 years of amazing support from our title sponsor, Albertsons Cos., host venue Hillcrest Country Club, our 850 treasured volunteers and amazing sponsors. The unwavering support of Albertsons Cos. has been the engine for all 36 years that has driven millions of dollars from the event proceeds to charity,” said Jeff Sanders, CEO of Jeff Sanders Entertainment, the event’s management company. “We are excited to break the $40 million mark this year for charities since the inaugural event in 1990 as we continue to lift the bar on the Korn Ferry Tour for charity dollars raised.” 
 
A portion of the money raised for charity will once again come from the Mondelez Tickets Support Charity Program where 100% of all ticket sales support the local community. Through the Mondelez Tickets Support Charity program, all ticket purchasers will select the local charity their ticket purchase will support.
 
The Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron will be the final event of the Korn Ferry Tour regular season, featuring 156 Korn Ferry Tour players as they compete for position in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals and PGA TOUR cards for the 2025-2026 PGA TOUR season. The tournament has hosted many of the best golfers in the world over the years on their way to PGA TOUR stardom including current PGA TOUR stars Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Victor Hovland, Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Justin, Max Homa, J.J. Spaun and many more.
 
Again this year, the event will feature three nights of concerts after golf on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, August 14-16 at Hillcrest Country Club. 
 
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, August 15th, 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, August 16th, 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.
