After Korn Ferry Tour event canceled, title sponsor gives back in big way

While COVID-19 kept the Korn Ferry Tour from rolling through Nashville this year, it didn’t stop the tournament’s title sponsor from giving back.

Simmons Bank, which sponsors the Simmons Bank Open, got creative after the April 30-May 3 event at Nashville Golf and Athletic Club was canceled, finding another way to raise money for the event’s charity, the Snedeker Foundation. Through an initiative called Drive. Putt. Do Good., Simmons Bank involved its four ambassadors on the KFT – Will Zalatoris, Braden Thornberry, Kevin Dougherty and Dawson Armstrong – and pledged to donate $50 for every birdie made during the remainder of the year on both the KFT and PGA Tour.
