Tiger Woods' Tiger Jam VI to feature Bon Jovi, Goo Goo Dolls
Bon Jovi will finish its North American tour by headlining Tiger Jam VI, an annual benefit concert that raises funds for the Tiger Woods Foundation and children's charities based in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
The concert, which will also feature the Goo Goo Dolls , is set for April 19 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Tickets will go on sale on Feb. 1.
"I grew up listening to Bon Jovi, and I'm really looking forward to seeing them live," Woods said in a statement. "It means a lot to me that Jon and the guys have joined in my efforts to support today's youth through Tiger Jam."
Proceeds from Tiger Jam VI will support the many programs funded throughout the year by the Tiger Woods Foundation. Charities that received funding from last year's Tiger Jam V include Child Haven, Center for Independent Living, Greater Las Vegas Inner City Games, Boys & Girls Club of Las Vegas, UNLV Women's Athletics, GRAMMY in the Schools and The VH1 Save the Music Foundation.
Bon Jovi and Goo Goo Dolls open a new round of tour dates in State College, Pa., on Feb. 8.
Bon Jovi's latest album, "Bounce," entered the Billboard 200 album chart at No. 2 in October, marking the highest chart debut in the band's history.
The Goo Goo Dolls' seventh studio album, "Gutterflower," was released last April and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.
