Thank you for joining us March 12 - 15, 2026, for the 16th annual The Warburton Celebrity Golf Tournament in beautiful Palm Desert, California, where Patrick Warburton and his celebrity friends will come together for a fun weekend of star-studded festivities to help St. Jude Children's Research Hospital battle childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The Warburton has raised more than $38 million for St. Jude since its inception in 2011.
The Warburton weekend kicked off Thursday evening with a Songwriters Night at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort, where renowned Nashville songwriters shared stories behind some of their biggest hits. The hotel also hosted Friday's Pairings Party & Rheneypalooza Jam, which brought together rock-and-roll legends for an unforgettable night of fun, including the Saturday Soirée, featuring a red carpet, dinner, a premier auction and entertainment by SIXWIRE & Friends.
The Golf Tournament took place on Saturday and Sunday at The Classic Club and Desert Willow Golf Resort in Palm Desert, where each foursome paired with a celebrity player. The weekend concluded on Sunday with an awards luncheon and check presentation.
All proceeds from this event help further the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®

We wanted to have something that gave us a sense of purpose outside of just our own world: raising funds for a charity that benefited sick children, specifically, and their families.
