Alabama football head coach Kalen DeBoer’s group came in second among the celebrity groups during Wednesday’s pro-am before the Regions Tradition in Birmingham. DeBoer and his group, which included PGA Tour Champions player Ernie Els, came in at -16, but it still wasn’t enough to take down former Auburn head coach and current U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville’s team.

Tuberville’s group, playing at Greystone Golf and Country Club, included country music singers Riley Green and Jamey Johnson, along with John Daly, according to scores reported by a Regions Tradition representative. The group came in at 22 under par, winning by a sizable margin.

The pro-am was a five-man best ball net handicap event. Each team counted its best net individual score on each hole.

Hugh Freeze’s group finished ninth among the 10 celebrity groups. Freeze’s team, playing with David Toms, came in at -10, one stroke better than SEC commissioner Greg Sankey and Georgia coach Kirby Smart’s group, which went nine under par, with Davis Love III.

UAB head coach Trent Dilfer, one of the best golfers in the college football coaching community, saw his group run fifth among the celebrity squads, at -13. Kenny Perry served as the group’s pro.

A group featuring two former Alabama quarterbacks (Greg McElroy and AJ McCarron) along with American Idol winner Taylor Hicks and 1996 British Open winner Tom Lehman ran one spot behind Dilfers. The team came in at 12 under.

Nick Saban and Charles Barkley’s team, playing with Stewart Cink, who played with DeBoer’s group last year, ran sixth. Saban, whose public handicap is a 10.6 but has not posted a score to the GHIN since February of 2023, and his group were -12.

Alabama basketball head coach Nate Oats and his group were tied seventh among the celebrity teams at -11, with Steve Stricker as the pro. Bo Jackson, playing with Darren Clarke, made the same score.

The Regions Tradition tournament is a major for the PGA Tour Champions. Play will continue Saturday and concluded Sunday at Greystone.
