The Royal Canadian Golf Association announced that Kevin will take part in the inaugural Mike Weir Charity Classic on July 20, 2009, at the Glen Abbey Golf Club. Other celebrities will include hockey stars Martin Brodeur and Rick Nash, two-time NBA most valuable player Steve Nash, Canadian rocker Tom Cochrane, and American comedian George Lopez. All proceeds will go to charities benefiting from the Mike Weir Foundation.

RCGA executive director Scott Simmons said Costner was happy to be a part of the festivities. “He’s gotten to know Mike through some of the other charity events, and loves the game, and wants to help out,” Simmons said Wednesday on a conference call. “I’m sure he’ll be visible.” Kevin and his band Modern West will provide the entertainment Thursday night, following the first round of the Canadian Open.

PGA Tour stars slated to take part in the charity event include Anthony Kim, Camilo Vilegas, Trevor Immelman, Luke Donald, Fred Couples, Mark Calcavecchia and 2008 Canadian Open winner Chez Reavie.
