A pair of PGA Tour members and a World Series champion are among the early commitments to the 25th Hootie & the Blowfish Monday After the Masters Celebrity Pro-Am, which is nearing a 13th consecutive sellout.
Spectator tickets to the tournament, which will be played for the 17th consecutive year at the Barefoot Resort Dye Club on April 15, went on sale Monday, less than a couple hundred remained Wednesday afternoon.
They are $20 and available at the House of Blues, Barefoot Resort & Golf pro shops and all Ticketmaster outlets by calling 800-745-3000. Children 12 and under are admitted free when accompanied by a paying adult.
