There’s a refreshing change in the air on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule. Starting in October 2026, the popular Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS presented by Circle K will be moving to the stunning Ocean Course at Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa in Palm Coast, Florida.. Having earned a reputation for delivering competitive drama and a festival-like atmosphere since its launch in 2021, the tournament has become a cherished staple for fans and players alike. This move promises to infuse new energy into an already dynamic event, pairing top-tier golf with Florida’s scenic coastal charm.
The new venue isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a game-enhancing setting. With its windswept fairways and oceanfront views, the Ocean Course offers a fresh sense of place that complements the event’s legacy while inviting fresh excitement. Golfers will face invigorating challenges in a layout designed to reward precision and strategy, while spectators can enjoy a more immersive, relaxed experience surrounded by the Atlantic’s natural beauty. As the tournament turns the page to this new chapter, expectations are soaring—not just for the golf, but for the memories and moments that will shape its future.
Jim Furyk, along with his wife Tabitha and the Furyk Foundation, expressed their enthusiasm about the move. Furyk praised the venue’s charm and strategic layout of the Ocean Course, noting that players will appreciate the challenge. At the same time, fans and sponsors will enjoy the hospitality and scenic beauty of Hammock Beach.
Moving Forward Without Losing Heart
While the tournament prepares to bid farewell to Timuquana Country Club in Jacksonville after its final run there in 2025, it’s important to remember that its philanthropic spirit will continue to thrive. The Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation, which has played a pivotal role in raising more than $5 million for various charities since the tournament’s inception, remains deeply committed to giving back to the Jacksonville community. This event has been more than just a sporting competition; it has been a powerful force for positive change.
Key organizations that have greatly benefited from the tournament include Wolfson Children’s Hospital, First Tee – North Florida, and Blessings in a Backpack. Each of these organizations has seen the tangible impact of the tournament’s generosity, helping to improve countless lives. Even as the tournament’s physical location changes in the future, its heart will remain firmly rooted in North Florida, sustained by the foundation’s ongoing dedication to making a difference. The legacy of this event is about more than golf—it’s about community, compassion, and enduring hope.
The Ocean Course: Scenic, Strategic, and Unforgettable
Flowing through pristine wetlands and shimmering lakes, the Ocean Course at Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa shines as a true gem among Florida’s top golf destinations. Designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, this award-winning layout offers a memorable blend of beauty and challenge, featuring six stunning holes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean—more than any other course in the state.
Spanning over 100 acres, the course’s Platinum Paspalum turf is salt-tolerant and environmentally friendly, maintained for optimal performance year-round. Nicklaus called the final four holes “The Bear Claw,” providing a dramatic coastal finish that tests even skilled players. Managed by Troon, the Ocean Course also features a 10,000-square-foot putting green and chipping area. Meanwhile, the resort’s luxurious amenities ensure a world-class experience for guests both on and off the course.
Golfers should expect to face ever-changing ocean breezes that influence shot choices, adding unpredictability and excitement. Meanwhile, spectators and visitors enjoy sweeping ocean views, fine dining options, and upscale accommodations that make every visit memorable. Just steps from the course, guests can partake in a variety of resort activities, creating a luxurious vacation experience that complements their time on the links.
More Than Just Golf—It’s an Experience
What sets the Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS apart is the festival-like atmosphere that surrounds the competitive action. It’s not just golf—it’s concerts, culinary delights, interactive fan experiences, and family-friendly activities all rolled into one memorable week.

This immersive quality has helped build a loyal fan base and transform the event into a destination not just for golf lovers, but for families and casual fans looking for a weekend getaway with some flair.
