In the humorous spots, Timberlake is depicted as a one-man grounds crew, preparing the tournament golf course in a meticulous fashion for the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, which will take place Oct. 16-19. The spots also include an appearance by PGA TOUR pro Duffy Waldorf, who whispers to Timberlake, "Dude, aren't you taking this hosting a golf tournament thing kind of seriously?"

Conceived and produced by GOLF CHANNEL, the spots will run on the network during the next three weeks leading up to the tournament. Other than promoting the tournament, the motivation for producing the spots was to show the more than 80 million GOLF CHANNEL viewers inthe United States that Timberlake not only has serious business interests in the world of golf, but - as a golfer himself with a single-digit handicap - he has serious game, as well. The spots were filmed Sept. 13 on a golf course inCarefree, Ariz., and at the tournament's host course, TPC Summerlin inLas Vegas, Nev.
