Pro Football Hall of Famer and Vikings Ring of Honor defensive tackle John Randle on Tuesday helped announce a star-studded golf tournament that will debut in 2025 and feature members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and PGA Champions Tour.
Star Tribune writer Mark Craig detailed Randle’s latest endeavor, which is titled “The James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational.”
John Randle, the Vikings Hall of Famer who loves playing golf as much as he treasured terrorizing quarterbacks back in the day, has found a way to mix his two pleasures.
The James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational will be held from March 31 to April 6, 2025, at the Old Course at Broken Sound Club in Boca Raton, Fla. The tournament will feature 78 PGA Champions Tour players and 26 football legends who will compete for a $2.2 million purse.
Craig added that Randle plans on participating in the tournament when it debuts next year.
Randle told reporters at the news conference that he’s looking forward to the tournament because, for him, golf “became like oxygen” once he turned to it full-time while doing a lot of charity work in Minnesota after his football career ended
