“I had the opportunity to play the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass this past fall and got to scope out where the concert will take place and I got chills just thinking about it. To play a show on the most famous hole in golf is a dream come true,” remarked Swindell.
Throughout his career, Swindell has racked up 12 No. 1 singles as an artist—13 as a songwriter—as well as 12 certified-Platinum singles, a Platinum-certified debut album, a Platinum-certified sophomore effort, a Gold-certified third entry and a Gold-certified fourth album.
His massive, GRAMMY® Award-nominated hit “Break Up In The End” was named the 2019 NSAI Song of the Year and most recently, his three-time Platinum chart-topper “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” garnered three ACM Awards for Single of the Year and Song of the Year (as both a songwriter and artist), an iHeart Music Award for Country Song of the Year and received a nomination for Musical Event of the Year at this year’s CMA Awards.
