USA TODAY NETWORK Ventures Announces Former PGA Player Colt Knost as Host of Legends Party at the Masters

Special Guest Appearance by Golf Legend Davis Love III

MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Legends Party presented by USA TODAY NETWORK Ventures and Golfweek, is embracing one of the biggest golf events of the year to provide a culturally relevant moment in Augusta, Georgia and engage the community during the Masters Tournament. Hosted by former PGA Player Colt Knost on April 9 from 8 p.m. ET to midnight at Topgolf, the event will offer attendees the ultimate sports experience with access to a premium open bar, dinner, music, fan photos and an appearance by golf legend Davis Love III.

“I’m excited to partner with USA TODAY NETWORK Ventures to host the Legends Party in Augusta,” said Colt Knost, former PGA golfer and CBS Sports golf analyst. “The Masters is a legendary tournament, and this event will help make this year extra special for golf fans celebrating the weekend.”

Tito’s Handmade Vodka is sponsoring the Legends Party and will provide guests with two specialty cocktails during the party. USA TODAY NETWORK Ventures will continue to leverage sporting events with Legends branded experiences celebrating renowned athletes across the country.

“We look forward to expanding upon our Legends Party event series after our success at the 2022 NFL Alumni Legends Party in Los Angeles during the Big Game weekend,” said Jason Taylor, President, USA TODAY NETWORK Ventures. “As there are very few events open to the general public during the Masters, one of the biggest and most exclusive sporting events in the country, we are honored to invite the community in to share this unique and fun experience with prestigious golfers during the weekend.”

Tickets for the Legends Party are available to the public for purchase while supplies last by visiting LegendsParty.com/progolf/. Ticket options include General Admission and Reserved Play packages.

Discounted tickets are being provided to the military members of Fort Gordon and Gannett’s Military Forward Employee Resource Group (ERG) as a way to thank them for their service and to further connect those living in the Augusta community.

“We are delighted to be a part of this Legends event, which takes place during one of the most iconic tournaments in golf with some of the greats of the game,” said Nate Scott, Director of Content for Golfweek. “Augusta will be the center of the golf universe that week and we're so excited that members of the public will be able to join us during this special time and in this special place.”
