The Georgia native, who secured his maiden PGA Tour victory at the 2024 John Deere Classic, revealed that this year's guest list features J.T. Poston, Greyson Sigg, Patton Kizzire, and Sepp Straka.

"Yeah, so I think the first two years, Chris Kirk booked it, and then last year I don't think Chris played, so he kind of left it to Greyson Sigg, and Greyson has booked it these past two years.

Then a few weeks ago, Greyson sent out a group text that -- I think it was me, J.T. Poston, Greyson, Patton Kizzire and Sepp Straka and maybe one other, and I'd have to go back and look, but I think that's the group this year. Kind of confirmed, not really confirmed. But I'm sure it'll be a good group of guys, kind of like it was last year."[19:54-20:31]
