Also at media day, THE PLAYERS Championship announced that country artist Luke Combs will perform on the evening of Military Appreciation Day on Tuesday, May 8.
“Performing at THE PLAYERS, on the 17th hole, is one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ experiences,” said Combs in a press release distributed by THE PLAYERS Championship. “The fact that my performance is part of a ceremony that honors our men and women in the armed forces makes it even more special.”
The Asheville, North Carolina, native released his GOLD-certified debut album, “This One’s For You” in 2017, which spurred two consecutive PLATINUM-certified multi-week No. 1 hit radio singles, “Hurricane” and “When It Rains It Pours,” and his current Top 30 and climbing hit, “One Number Away.” Voted iHeart Radio’s Best New County Artist of 2018 and named Billboard’s Top 100 Artist and Top New Country Artist of 2017, Combs made country radio history as the first new solo male artist to achieve a multi-week No. 1 with a debut single since 2001.
New this year, the Military Appreciation Day Ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m., and the Concert will kick-off at 6 p.m. on the 17th hole. The ceremony and concert are free to any Tuesday ticket holder; a Tuesday Stadium Pass starts at just $25. Parking is also free on Tuesday and Wednesday of tournament week.
