LeBron James and the PGA Tour to stage a two-day event at Firestone geared toward youth‎

LeBron James' growing passion for golf now includes a partnership with the PGA Tour announced Tuesday that will bring a two-day tournament to Firestone Country Club in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, next summer to connect youth with aspiring professionals. The LeBron James Family Foundation Invitational will be played July 6-7 on the South course at Firestone, where the PGA Tour recently ended a 72-year run. The event is to include mentorship that connect students from James' “I Promise” program with players who advanced through the tour's Pathway to Progression Pro-Bound Five that creates spots for college players in the Advocates Professional Golf Association circuit.
