Mack Brown and Roy Williams to Compete in 2019 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge

Greensboro, Ga. – North Carolina head football coach Mack Brown and head basketball coach Roy Williams will represent the Tar Heels in the 13th annual Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament. Both coaches will look to compete for a share of the $650,000 scholarship and charity purse.

The nation's premier head coach and celebrity golf event will be held April 28-30 at Reynolds Lake Oconee resort outside Atlanta. Proceeds from the event benefit endowed scholarships at the participating universities and charitable foundations selected by the coaches. Since its creation in 2007, the event has contributed a total of $7.6 million in scholarship and charity, helping make Peach Bowl, Inc. college football's most charitable bowl organization.
