ST. LOUIS (August 4, 2026) – Officials of the Stifel Charity Classic presented by Compliance Solutions announced today the details surrounding the tournament’s second annual concert event.

"We're excited to partner with the Stifel Charity Classic again this year to bring another great night of live music to St. Louis. Last year's concert was a terrific experience, and we're excited to welcome the Gin Blossoms this summer," said Mark Travis, Chief Strategy Officer at CarShield. "Events like this give people a chance to spend time together while supporting a great cause, and we're proud to help make that possible."
Tickets are on sale for the 2026 Stifel Charity Classic presented by Compliance Solutions, taking place the week of October 19-25, 2026, at Norwood Hills Country Club.

“We're thrilled to build on the success of last year's inaugural concert by welcoming the Gin Blossoms to the 2026 Stifel Charity Classic,” said Ron Kruszewski, Chairman and CEO of Stifel. “This event adds to the unique experience we are creating around tournament week, and helps expand the positive impact the Stifel Charity Classic has on the St. Louis region through tourism, community engagement, and charitable giving.”
The Stifel Charity Classic proudly stands as a premier playoff event on PGA TOUR Champions, but it is much more than a golf tournament. The events and activities associated with the Stifel Charity Classic provide an all-inclusive, entertaining atmosphere. The beautiful views of historic Norwood Hills Country Club serve as a backdrop for world-class golf and provide the perfect venue to mingle with friends, family and business leaders while watching some of golf’s greatest champions.
The 2026 PGA TOUR Champions regular season features 28 events (25 regular season and three playoff events) and will have players competing for more than $70 million in total prize money, the highest in PGA TOUR Champions’ 46-season history. This year’s Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs, a season-ending, three-tournament series to determine the TOUR’s season-long champion, will mark the 10th year for the PGA TOUR Champions culminating series. The sixth annual Stifel Charity Classic will be the first playoff event. Past Charles Schwab Cup champions include World Golf Hall of Fame members Bernhard Langer (6), Missouri natives Tom Watson (2) and Hale Irwin (2), and 2025 champion Stewart Cink.

About Gin Blossoms
Formed in Tempe, Arizona in 1987, Gin Blossoms helped define alternative radio in the early ‘90s with their breakout major-label debut New Miserable Experience. Led by the gold-certified hit “Hey Jealousy,” the album went on to sell more than four million copies, delivering enduring singles like “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away” and cementing the band as power-pop mainstays. Their hometown legacy was officially recognized in October 2022, when Tempe unveiled an honorary street sign renaming a section of 8th Street between Rural Road and Una Avenue as “Allison Road Avenue,” celebrating both the beloved song and the album’s 30th anniversary.
They followed with the platinum-selling Congratulations I’m Sorry, featuring the Top 10 smash “Follow You Down” and the GRAMMY®-nominated “As Long as It Matters.” Decades later, their jangly guitars, sharp hooks, and emotionally resonant songwriting still hit with the same immediacy. Made up of Robin Wilson, Jesse Valenzuela, Bill Leen, and Scotty Johnson, Gin Blossoms continue to evolve without losing the sound that made them essential. Their latest album, Mixed Reality (produced by Don Dixon and engineered by Mitch Easter), delivers 15 new tracks packed with chiming melodies, wry lyricism, and undeniable heart, proving the band is as vital now as ever.
Inducted into the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame in 2017, Gin Blossoms remain road-tested and fan-driven, touring relentlessly and sharing stages with Collective Soul, Barenaked Ladies, and Hootie & The Blowfish. Reuniting once again with Blues Traveler for this year’s tour, the longtime collaborators are building on the momentum of last summer, when they took over the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage for an epic mashup — an electric reminder that Gin Blossoms continue to turn nostalgia into something unmistakably alive.
