Phil Oates Celebrity Golf Classic

About the classic

The story

The Phil Oates Celebrity Golf Classic was co-created by Phil Oates and Bill Hammond in 2020. After attending many of Hammond’s other fundraising golf tournaments, Phil Oates, Chairman of Buzz Oates, the largest commercial real estate owner in Sacramento, approached Bill to create his own fundraising event.

Over the 6 years since inception, the Phil Oates Celebrity Golf Classic has supported dozens of organizations in the US – from EASE Sacramento, which Phil Oates founded in 2005, to Bayside Church, Destiny Christian Academy, Hands4Hope, Battlefields2Ballfields, the American Cancer Society, and the Tim Tebow Foundation, there is no shortage of causes that we have been blessed to support through this endeavor.

The Golf Classic, which takes place in Sacramento, California in September, brings together sponsors, celebrities, family, friends, and invited guests and supporters to support Phil Oates, Hammond Blessed 25th, and our mission.
