Justin Timberlake Joins the PGA Tour

Justin Timberlake has just signed a five-year deal with the PGA Tour that will find him hosting a tournament in Las Vegas in 2008.  The “Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open” will be played October 13-19 and will help raise funds for the Shriners group, which, by the way, provides medical care at no charge to children under 18 years old. JT will play in a celebrity-golf game that week as well, and had this to say on the subject: 

“Raising money to better children’s lives while playing golf? I can’t think of a better way to pass the time.”

Justin Timberlake’s visibility has also landed him on Barbara Walters’ “10 Most Fascinating People of 2007″ list, and they can be seen chatting on an hourlong special on ABC set to air December 6 at 10 p.m. ET.
