“I like to have fun out on the golf course, and the 18-hole skills challenge will go a long way to keep everyone loose out there and ensure that all of us – the participants and the spectators – will spend the day having a great time,” Tebow said. “I hope everyone comes out on Saturday, especially to help me make a putt on the fourth hole.”
