Larry the Cable Guy is the latest addition to
Toby Keith’s charity golf tournament in Norman, Okla. Larry the Cable Guy will join Keith as co-emcee of the event, which will include an auction and dinner the night before the tournament.
The golf classic has also added Cincinnati Bengals defensive back and former OU Sooner Roy Williams to the event’s list of celebrity participants. Williams is also one of three NFL stars who contributed a one-of-a-kind Triumph Rocket 3 motorcycle, donated by Pros For Africa and adorned with autographs. Williams, along with Chicago Bear Tommie Harris, Minnesota Viking Adrian Peterson and Baltimore Raven Mark Clayton, traveled to Uganda in March to advocate and provide for children in the region.
The auction will also include tickets to The View as part of a New York City package that also includes tickets to Mary Poppins on Broadway. There will be 10 live auction items and 84 silent auction items.
The golfing portion of the event has 36 participating teams and is expected to host 750 attendees.
David Allan Coe and metal/pop mash up band Rock Sugar will perform.
All proceeds assist severely ill children and their families through the Toby Keith Foundation. The foundation’s immediate goal is to fund the OK Kids Korral 16-room guest lodge. The lodge will house pediatric cancer patients and their families on the Oklahoma University Medical Center campus. More information can be found at
