SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The EMC Greats of the Game at the Sanford International is returning in 2026. Multi-platinum, award-winning country music artist Jordan Davis will join Tournament Host Andy North as confirmed participants.
North and Davis will join two yet to be announced additional participants in a 9-hole exhibition on Saturday, September 12 at Minnehaha Country Club. The four participants will tee off on Hole No. 10 following the final group of the Sanford International.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jordan Davis to the Sanford International for this year’s EMC Greats of the Game event,” said Davis Trosin, tournament director of the Sanford International. “Jordan is not only one of country music’s biggest stars, but he is also an avid golfer who shares our passion for the game. Combined with his incredible acoustic performance at the Friday dinner, it’s going to be an unforgettable weekend for our fans.”
Jordan Davis, known for his deeply personal songwriting and genre-blending approach, has become one of country music’s most innovative voices. With his new album, Learn the Hard Way, Davis explores new creative territories while maintaining the authenticity that has earned him multiple platinum certifications and ten career No. 1s on US country radio. An avid golfer, Davis brings a portable golf simulator on the road during his tours, demonstrating his passion for the game rivals his love of performing.
