Diddy, 2 Chainz, Quavo & More Confirmed For DJ Khaled’s Charity Golf Classic
Diddy, 2 Chainz and Quavo are just a few of the names confirmed for DJ Khaled‘s forthcoming inaugural charity golf classic.
As previously announced, the Jordan-sponsored charity event will go down at the Miami Beach Golf Club on July 20. Proceeds will benefit the We the Best Foundation’s endeavors in education, the arts and more.
On Tuesday (July 11), the music mogul revealed who will be in attendance. In addition to the aforementioned names, Fat Joe, Jim Jones, Marshawn Lynch, Shannon Sharpe, Timbaland and even Quavo’s Migos brother Offset will also be there for the first annual event.
“Just to be out on the golf course with close friends and family of mine is a blessing,” Khaled said in a statement when announcing the classic last month. “Giving back makes it even better. I can’t wait to see you all at the first-ever We the Best Foundation Golf Classic. We’re starting something very special here while introducing the sport of golf to a wider community.”
The festivities begin with a VIP reception with sponsors and special guests on July 19, followed by the tournament the next morning and an awards reception at 2:30 p.m. that afternoon.
DJ Khaled only recently caught the golfing bug, but he can’t get enough of the sport. In May, he graced the cover of Golf Digest, calling the honor a “dream come true.”

“When I’m done playing golf, and I walk into the studio, I have a clear mind,” he told the publication. “On this new album, a lot of my great ideas came from me sitting on the golf course or me walking the fairway and just thinking.
“A lot of my great ideas come out when I jump in the car on the way home after a beautiful day of golf, and I’m driving home, and I’m saying ‘Man, I got a dope idea. I’m gonna go lay it down in the studio.’”
In addition to the classic, DJ Khaled will be launching a golf-centered show with his good friends Diddy and Mark Wahlberg. Though they teased the series in March, little details are known as of yet.
