Greensboro, Ga. (April 19, 2018) – North Carolina Head Football Coach Larry Fedora and Head Basketball Coach Roy Williams will represent the Tar Heels in the 12th annual Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament. Coach Fedora will make his 7th appearance in the event as he looks to compete for a share of a $650,000 total purse. The team’s winnings will be split between an endowed scholarship at the University of North Carolina and UNC Children's Hospital.
As a top-tier academic medical center, UNC Children's Hospital upholds a four-tiered mission to "CARE," aligning clinical care, advocacy, research and education to deliver world-class family-centered care—always regardless of a family's ability to pay. The hospital has nearly 200 physicians with expertise spanning nearly 50 programs in 20 clinical departments, including 14 divisions in the UNC Department of Pediatrics. They are joined by more than 1,800 clinical and ancillary staff, all dedicated to providing exemplary, compassionate care to thousands of children each year.
The nation’s premier head coach and celebrity golf event will be held April 29 to May 2 at Reynolds Lake Oconee resort outside Atlanta. Proceeds from the event benefit endowed scholarships at the participating universities and charitable foundations selected by the coaches. Since its creation in 2007, the event has contributed a total of $6.8 million in scholarship and charity, helping make the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl college football’s most charitable bowl game.
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge main event features pairings that include a university head coach and a former athlete from the same school competing in a scramble format against other university teams from around the country. The event will be broadcast on ESPN in August and December. Specific dates will be announced this summer.
This year’s Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge will also feature an inaugural Legends Tournament, consisting of 10 former coaches who will be vying for a share of a $50,000 purse that will go toward their selected charities.
The main event field of competitors is scheduled to include the four-time winning pair of Paul Johnson and Jon Barry of Georgia Tech (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015), as well as first-time appearances from Brian Kelly of Notre Dame and Matt Luke of Ole Miss. In total, both the main event and Legends Tournament include an impressive roster of college football greats that features two Heisman Trophy winners, eight Dodd Trophy winners, and a total of 10 FBS National Championships won by the head coaches.
