There are golf tournaments – and then there are experiences.
The 8 a.m. 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 completely 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 combines golf, entertainment and philanthropy at the highest level.
A special setting – and an unrivaled field
Placed in the background of Wynn Golf Club – the only course on the Las Vegas Strip – the Invitational offers an environment 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 electrifying mix of talent, including Jimmy Fallon, Michelle Wie West, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, Michael Phelps, JJ Watt, Blake Griffin and Michael Strahan, along with Matthew Stafford and Colt McCoy.
The crossover doesn’t stop with sports. The course has also featured artists and personalities such as Nate Bargatze, Andrew Santino, Brian Baumgartner and Michael Peña, along with actors such as Chace Crawford and a new generation of golf and lifestyle voices including Kira Dixon and Erin Lim Rhodes.

Add 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 is not 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 tour – it’s a complete weekend experience
What makes the 8AM Invitational truly unique is that it doesn’t stop when the last shot is fired.
Selected sponsor guests are invited inside the ropes, gaining rare access to both the competition and the personalities who define it. This includes watching the tournament up close, playing in a party leading up to the event, and attending two unforgettable parties hosted at the Wynn alongside the players and talent.
And in a nod to one of golf’s most iconic traditions, the Invitational implements one no phone policy – both on the course and at parties – creating an atmosphere that feels present, private and refreshingly detached.

Where fun and golf collide
From competitive daytime moments to late-night shows and stories that rarely leave the room, the energy of the 8am Invitational is constant.
It’s golf – but louder, more social and decidedly modern.
However, beneath the spectacle is a real competition. Many of these names can play, and pride is very much on the line when they do it at the 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 to the American Leather Associationusing her platform to bring meaningful impact beyond the ropes.
The can’t-miss event on the golf calendar
In a sport steeped in tradition, the 8am Invitational is something entirely different.
An epic annual gathering. A unique golf experience. And a weekend at Wynn Las Vegas that continues to redefine what a golf event can be.
