Justin Timberlake’s star-studded golf experience returns to Las Vegas
There are golf tournaments — and then there are experiences.
The 8AM Invitational at Wynn Las Vegas, hosted by Justin Timberlake, has quickly carved out a lane of its own: part competitive golf, part cultural moment, and entirely unlike anything else on the calendar.
Now entering its fifth year, the event has become one of the most anticipated annual gatherings in the game — bringing together a curated mix of athletes, entertainers, actors and cultural icons for a weekend that blends golf, entertainment and philanthropy at the highest level.
A one-of-a-kind setting — and an unmatched field
Set against the backdrop of Wynn Golf Club — the only course on the Las Vegas Strip — the Invitational delivers a setting that feels as premium as the guest list.
And the guest list is exactly what sets this event apart.
In recent years, Timberlake has welcomed an eclectic and electric mix of talent, including Jimmy Fallon, Michelle Wie West, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, Michael Phelps, J.J. Watt, Blake Griffin and Michael Strahan, along with Matthew Stafford and Colt McCoy.
The crossover doesn’t stop with sports. The field has also featured entertainers and personalities like Nate Bargatze, Andrew Santino, Brian Baumgartner and Michael Peña, alongside actors like Chace Crawford and a new generation of golf and lifestyle voices including Kira Dixon and Erin Lim Rhodes.
8AM Golf
Add in names like Ryan Sheckler, Sean Malto, Chandler Parsons, Trey McBride, Courtney Lee and Dexter Fowler, and you get a lineup that feels less like a tournament field and more like a perfectly curated cultural moment.
This isn’t a traditional event. It’s a collision of worlds, where elite competitors, entertainers and personalities all show up with something to prove — and have a great time doing it.
More than a tournament — it’s a full weekend experience
What makes the 8AM Invitational truly unique is that it doesn’t stop when the last putt drops.
Select sponsor guests are invited inside the ropes, gaining rare access to both the competition and the personalities that define it. That includes watching the tournament up close, playing in a celeb-am leading into the event, and attending two unforgettable parties hosted at Wynn alongside the players and talent.
And in a nod to one of golf’s most iconic traditions, the Invitational enforces a strict no-phone policy — both on the course and at the parties — creating an atmosphere that feels present, private and refreshingly unplugged.

Where entertainment and golf collide
From competitive moments during the day to late-night performances and stories that rarely leave the room, the energy of the 8AM Invitational is constant.
It’s golf — but louder, more social and unmistakably modern.
Yet beneath the spectacle is real competition. Many of these names can play, and pride is very much on the line when they tee it up at Wynn.
Driven by purpose
At its core, the 8AM Invitational is about more than just the experience.
To date, the event has raised more than $1 million for the American Skin Association, using its platform to drive meaningful impact beyond the ropes.
The can’t-miss event on golf’s calendar
In a sport rooted in tradition, the 8AM Invitational is something entirely different.
An epic annual gathering. A one-of-a-kind golf experience. And a weekend at Wynn Las Vegas that continues to redefine what a golf event can be.
