Hometown Hero Hosts Korn Ferry Tour

0:00On March 6th, Gene Holman has organized golf tournaments for top pros like Scotty Sheffler and legends such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Lee Trevino. Now he's gearing up for the corn fairy tours Colonial Life Charity Classic at Wood Creek Club in Columbia set for May 14th through 17th. This one stands out because it's his first event right in his South Carolina hometown area. Holman grew up near Anderson, went to Ermal High School, and earned degrees from the College of Charleston and the University of South Carolina. After a brief corporate job, a magazine profile inspired him to dive into sports event management. His company, Eventive Sports, handles PGA, Corn Fairy, and Champions Tour, stops worldwide, plus college football, and SEC baseball. He's extra motivated here, calling it deeply personal, and predicting it could be the Corn Fairy's best debut tournament ever. Local support from the city, county, and sponsors has him thrilled, and he praises tournament director Chris Baker and course owner Harold Pickrell for upgrades like a revamped clubhouse.

It benefits United Way of the Midlands with volunteers pouring in and more sponsors on board. Holman aims to educate fans on the Corn Fairy tour while delivering a PGA-style experience on a smaller scale.
