RISING SINGER/SONGWRITER COREY KENT TO HEADLINE INAUGURAL FOLDS OF HONOR BENEFIT CONCERT PRESENTED BY SINCLAIR AT HARD ROCK TULSA

Posted on Wednesday, August 20, 2025

OWASSO, Okla. – Tournament officials announced today the details surrounding the Compliance Solutions Championship’s inaugural concert event. The 2025 Folds of Honor Benefit Concert presented by Sinclair will feature rising singer/songwriter and Oklahoma native Corey Kent, with fan-favorite hits like “Wild as Her” and “Something’s Gonna Kill Me”. The concert will be held Thursday, October 2, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, following the first round of tournament competition at the official Korn Ferry Tour Finals event.

Corey Kent finds himself musically at the intersection of rock infused country, heartland values, and red dirt grit. Still in his 20’s, he built the foundation of a fanbase, has been developing his show for 15 years, and is now positioned as one of country music’s next breakout artists nationwide. Drawing inspiration from The Eagles, Keith Richards, Turnpike Troubadours and more, Kent strives to build an undeniable stage presence, and his bandana-wearing Rock ‘N’ Roll spirit comes to life on the stage.

Benefit Concert tickets will go on sale Friday, August 29. General admission tickets start at $35.

“The Compliance Solutions Championship is quickly establishing a tradition of giving, and we are excited to provide incredible musical talent for our first-ever concert event that will raise impactful charitable dollars for the Folds of Honor Foundation,” said tournament director Lucas Fox. “Corey Kent is a local and national favorite, and, thanks to Sinclair, we know he will be an excellent addition to the Compliance Solutions Championship, headlining a week of world-class golf, fan destinations and special events.”  

Folds of Honor was founded by Lt Col Dan Rooney, history’s only F-16 fighter pilot to also become a PGA of America Golf Professional. Folds of Honor provides educational scholarships to the children and spouses of fallen or disabled military service members and first responders. Since its inception in 2007, it has awarded nearly 62,000 academic scholarships valued at almost $300 million.
