Tiger Jam Tickets


The Tiger Woods Foundation announced today that Tiger Jam XI presented by AT&T will take place Saturday, April 19 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.  Golf legend Tiger Woods will welcome rock icons Van Halen to Tiger Jam XI to raise funds for the Tiger Woods Foundation and select Las Vegas-based charities.


Saturday evening's highlights will include top-notch epicurean fare as well as an exclusive live and silent auction featuring unique items.  Following the dinner and auctions, the celebration will move to the Mandalay Bay Events Center stage where Woods will introduce Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, Wolfgang Van Halen and front man David Lee Roth for a rocking Van Halen concert.


"Tiger Jam XI will be incredible with Van Halen," Woods said.  "I'm thrilled to have this amazing group of diverse musical talent coming together for such a great cause.  Van Halen is one of my favorite bands and I can't wait to see them perform on the Tiger Jam stage."


Van Halen is one of the most important and influential bands of all time.  From the moment they released their self-titled 1978 debut album, Van Halen shook the foundations of rock, thanks largely to Roth's peerless showmanship, Eddie Van Halen's revolutionary guitar virtuosity and their songwriting abilities.  The band's record of achievement is hard to top.  Presented with two Diamond Award Recording Industry Association of America Certified Status' for their albums Van Halen and 1984, Van Halen joins an elite list of two-time Diamond Award honorees in the history of the music industry.  The Diamond Award is presented to an artist for album sales of 10 million or more units. 


They also are in the Guinness Book of World Records for having more No. 1 hits on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart than any other band in history.  Inducted into the Rock ‘N' Roll Hall of Fame in March 2007, Van Halen has produced a treasured body of work that fans will admire for decades to come.  More information on Van Halen can be found at www.van-halen.com.


About Tiger Jam and the Tiger Woods Foundation


Since its creation in 1998, Tiger Jam has raised more than $10 million for the Tiger Woods Foundation and select Las Vegas-based charities through its sold-out performances and one-of-a-kind auction items.  Tiger Jam was created by the Tiger Woods Foundation, an organization dedicated to empowering young people to reach their maximum potential. Proceeds from previous Tiger Jams have supported Child Haven, Center for Independent Living, Greater Las Vegas Inner City Games, Boys & Girls Club of Las Vegas, GRAMMY in the Schools and The VH1 Save the Music Foundation. 


Since its inception in 1996 by Tiger Woods and his father Earl, the Tiger Woods Foundation has reached an estimated 10 million young people through character development, career exploration, scholarships and grant making programs.  Programs developed and supported by the Tiger Woods Foundation all share a similar mission of empowering young people to dream big and to set specific goals to achieve their dreams.


Specific programs of the Foundation include the Tiger Woods Learning Center, a youth-education facility and curriculum based in Anaheim, Calif. that soon will expand to Washington, D.C., and a nationwide character development program based on Earl D. Woods' book entitled Start Something.  The Tiger Woods Foundation recently launched the Fist Pump Challenge, an online program allowing young people to post videos of celebrating a personal goal or achievement.  Launched in late January, the Fist Pump Challenge is designed to serve as a springboard to success and also will provide an opportunity for students to vie for an Earl Woods Scholarship to college.  More information on the Tiger Woods Foundation and its programs can be found at www.tigerwoodsfoundation.org.
