Dodgers' Mookie Betts & Chris Taylor join Rangers superstar Corey Seager & others to participate in 8th annual Justin Turner Golf Classic fundraiser

The 8th annual Justin Turner Golf Classic fundraiser is happening this Monday at Sherwood Country Club in California. It is an annual charity golf tournament hosted by the Justin Turner Foundation.

Justin Turner and his wife Kourtney, who founded the Justin Turner Foundation in 2016 and serves as its vice president, are set to host another sold-out event this year. Last year, the couple hosted the event successfully, raising $650,000 in donations for their foundation.

The event attracted several celebrities and athletes, including many former and current Los Angeles Dodgers players. This year, several notable Dodgers are scheduled to join again.

Participants include outfielder Mookie Betts, shortstop Chris Taylor, and pitcher Tony Gonsolin. Texas Rangers player Corey Seager, who was with the Dodgers from 2015 to 2021, is also set to attend.

Other attendees include Jonny DeLuca, Nomar Garciaparra, Jerry Hairston Jr., John Hartung, Eric Karros, James Loney, Ryan Pepiot, and Chris Woodward.
