“We look forward to expanding upon our Legends Party event series after our success at the 2022 NFL Alumni Legends Party in Los Angeles during the Big Game weekend,” said Jason Taylor, President, USA TODAY NETWORK Ventures. “As there are very few events open to the general public during the Masters, one of the biggest and most exclusive sporting events in the country, we are honored to invite the community in to share this unique and fun experience with prestigious golfers during the weekend.”
