The Tim Tebow Foundation held its 8th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic over the weekend. The 2-day event was held at the TPC Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. Friday night kicked things off with a Celebrity Gala, before the Golf Classic on Saturday. The Celebrity Weekend is the foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year.
The event has raised about $10 million over the years. 100 percent of the proceeds go to helping children around the world. Joanna Gaines showed her baby bump on social media over the weekend while attending an event with her husband Chip hosted by athlete Tim Tebow.
‘What an amaizng [sic] weekend with the @timtebowfoundation Thank you for giving hope and love to so many #ttfgolf2018,’ Joanna wrote in the caption.
From the mulligans (do-overs), play-throughs and skipped holes due to autographs and photo ops, it was definitely a day of fun, friendship and giving back. Tim showed off his swing, and it’s probably better than his baseball swing.

At the Golf Classic, 22 of Tebow’s celebrity friends and others joined Tim in a round of golf. It was split up where each Celebrity was grouped with about 4 or 5 others to play eighteen holes.
Not all of his Celebrity friends played golf but helped out in other ways. Laura Rutledge hosted the 17th hole lip sync battle. Each hole had a fun event for the spectators to watch like- football throw, cornhole challenge and Wii homerun derby just to name a few.

Tim really deserves a humanitarian award. The man does great work, it’s a shame he can’t focus on this full time. Much more productive than taking someone’s spot on a baseball roster.
