"I'm honored to be hosting the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's L.A. Golf Classic again this year. It's always a great opportunity to gather with members of our industry and support a cause that provides critical help to my fellow performers who need it most," says Joel McHale, currently starring in the workplace comedy Animal Control on FOX. "While the golf itself may be a bit rough, the financial support we raise for the Foundation's assistance programs is truly invaluable. I look forward to another great Classic that brings us all together in support of a common goal, and getting a sunburn on my arms and neck."

Golf Classic is made possible through the generous support of its celebrity players, as well as the sponsors, which include Gold Sponsor: Johnny Carson Foundation; Course Hospitality Sponsors: CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka, Johnnie Walker Blended Scotch Whisky, and Tequila Don Julio; Silver Sponsors: Anthem Blue Cross, Backstage, City National Bank, Evoke Advisors, Netflix, and SAG-AFTRA; and Bronze Sponsors: Bush Gottlieb, Campari Group, CVS Health, Howard Building Corporation, Jones & Associates, Los Angeles Chargers, MarketingPartnerships.com, and United Airlines.
