The 2025 PGA Show will be rockin’ and rollin’ Thursday evening after the second day of exhibits and presentations close on the PGA Show floor.
If you have an official 2025 PGA Show badge, you have a ticket to the PGA Show Winter Jam featuring San Francisco-based rock band THIRD EYE BLIND, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and first acts performing at 6:30 p.m. on THE | RETREAT Stage in Hall E of the Orange County Convention Center.
The evening of music, golf industry networking, and fun foods and beverages moves into high gear at 6:30 p.m. with Brian Vander Ark, lead singer and principal songwriter for the multi-platinum alternative rock band The Verve Pipe, along with Latin Grammy-winning and Grammy performing trumpeter, songwriter, producer and DJ Spencer Ludwig.
Then, at 7:30 p.m., the PGA Show Winter Jam turns into full rock-and-roll mode with THIRD EYE BLIND, which will bang out Top 10 U.S. Billboard hits such as “Semi-Charmed Life,” “Jumper” and “How’s It Going to Be?”
Since its inception in 1997, THIRD EYE BLIND has recorded five best-selling albums led by Stephan Jenkins. The band’s 2021 album Our Bande Apart was recorded when the COVID-19 lockdown ended, with Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast and Ryan Olson of Poliça. The band has continued to gain artistic clarification—and, surprisingly, a fanbase that is larger, younger and more dedicated than ever – since the pandemic.
“We can’t wait to take the stage in front of the movers and shakers of golf,” says THREE EYE BLIND’s Jenkins, a longtime supporter of SeaTrees, an organization that helps restore a portion of the Palos Verdes Kelp Forest. “It’s a time to come together, let go and feed off the lights, the music and everybody up close singing as one.”
Indeed, after a productive two days of exhibitions featuring more than 1,000 leading golf companies and brands on the PGA Show floor, the 2025 PGA Show Winter Jam will allow PGA Show badge holders to kick back and enjoy an evening of music, food and drink, and lively networking with industry peers.
adidas and Corebridge Financial are supporting sponsors of the 2025 PGA Show Winter Jam and will offer a hosted VIP hospitality chalet in THE | RETREAT Hall, including special access to the concert viewing and Corebridge Financial lounge amenities. PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere), the flagship military program of the PGA of America REACH Foundation, the 501(c)(3) charitable foundation of the PGA of America, will be the concert’s charitable partner. Veterans, active-duty military, PGA HOPE certified PGA of America Golf Professionals, PGA HOPE Ambassadors and PGA HOPE graduates registered for the PGA Show will be honored as special guests.
Before featured band THIRD EYE BLIND takes the stage, Vander Ark and Ludwig will share their multiple talents with a menagerie of eclectic music.
Please be aware that attendance at the PGA Show Winter Jam is limited, and entry is reserved solely for PGA Show badge holders on a first-come, first-served basis.
