Major championship golf comes to Akron this weekend

On the course: Jerry Kelly, who won the tournament last year and in 2020, will look to become the second player in history to win the event three times.

• The only other player to do so, Steve Stricker, is arguably the hottest player on tour and comes to Firestone having won four events, including two majors, in 2023 already.
• The field also includes PGA legends José María Olazábal, David Duval, John Daly, Lee Janzen, Rocco Mediate and Stewart Cink, who turned 50 in May.

Off the course: Fans can expect daily concerts at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Stage, including a Saturday performance by the beloved Youngstown alt-rock trio, The Vindys.

• Additional amenities include a kid's zone near the 18th green, a pinball parlor in the clubhouse, a lounge, a putt-putt green and multiple food trucks.

Of note: For the 21+ crowd, a viewing deck overlooking the signature 16th hole will offer half-off beers after every birdie.

If you go: Daily tickets for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday start at $25, and children 18 and under are admitted free.
