NFL Legends + PGA Champions = One Wild Week in Boca
Two Worlds Collide as NFL Greats and PGA Champions Turn Broken Sound Into a Showcase of Skill and Swagger.
March 5th and 7th, 2026
Morning light stretched across The Old Course at Broken Sound like it knew something special was about to happen. Not another stop on the schedule. Something with a different pulse.
This one hums.

The James Hardie™ Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational sits in a space most events never reach. Football royalty trading cleats for spikes. Spiral throws replaced by controlled fades. It feels natural the second you see it in person.
What stands out right away is the depth of the field. No filler. No shortcuts. A roster that reads like a time capsule of greatness.
On the golf side, names stack quickly. Zach Johnson, Padraig Harrington, Stewart Cink, Justin Leonard, Darren Clarke, David Duval, Tom Lehman, Retief Goosen, Ernie Els, Fred Couples, Bernhard Langer, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, Mark Calcavecchia, Corey Pavin, David Toms, Kirk Triplett, Ken Duke, Stephen Ames, Billy Andrade, Paul Broadhurst, Thongchai Jaidee, Jerry Kelly, Doug Barron, Scott McCarron, Tim Petrovic, Dicky Pride, Rod Pampling, Alex Cejka, K.J. Choi, Shane Bertsch, Y.E. Yang, Robert Karlsson, Harrison Frazar, Scott Parel, Joe Durant, Brian Gay, Ken Tanigawa, Charlie Wi, Boo Weekley, Brandt Jobe, Olin Browne, Tom Byrum, Willie Wood, Jeff Sluman, Tom Gillis, Scott Dunlap, Esteban Toledo, Carlos Franco, Rocco Mediate, Vijay Singh, Marco Dawson, Michael Allen, Woody Austin, Bob Estes, Gene Sauers, Jesper Parnevik, Lee Janzen, Steve Flesch, Colin Montgomerie, and John Daly.

Different eras. Different swings. Same edge.
Then the football side steps in and shifts the energy. Emmitt Smith, Brian Urlacher, Calvin Johnson, Tim Brown, Lawrence Taylor, Cris Carter, Marshall Faulk, Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber, Champ Bailey, Jerome Bettis, Anthony Muñoz, Aeneas Williams, Darrell Green, Kevin Greene, Morten Andersen, John Randle, Andre Reed, James Lofton, Steve Atwater, Tony Dungy, Art Shell, Bill Polian, Bobby Beathard, and Jimmy Johnson.
Not just names you recognize. Names that still carry presence before a club even touches the ball.
That’s where the rhythm settles in.
Watching Zach Johnson move through a round feels like reading a blueprint. Every shot accounted for. Every decision measured. A few holes over, Emmitt Smith stands over a putt with the same focus he once carried into the end zone. Different sport, same instinct.
Johnson took control of the tournament and never let go, finishing at eleven under and separating himself with quiet authority. No drama needed. Just execution.
The real charm lives in the space between those moments.
A linebacker crouched behind a ball, reading a break.
A major champion pausing over a wedge, recalculating.
Fans turning their heads back and forth, unsure which pairing to follow.
It flows more than it competes.
That flow carries into the Legends Shootout, where the tone loosens and personalities come forward. Players mic’d up, conversations drifting into the gallery, a well-timed jab landing just as a putt drops.
Trash talk hits differently when it rides on the pace of play.
Nothing feels rehearsed. It lands as it happens.
Out on the course, movement feels easy. You follow a group for a few holes, drift elsewhere, settle in where the moment pulls you. No barriers, no stiffness. Just access.

Even the smaller touches feel tied to the setting. The Goslings 1806 Club pours the “Stinger,” a cocktail built with honey sourced right from the course. A detail that connects the drink back to the ground beneath it. Subtle, but memorable.
Then everything slows.
The Folds of Honor ceremony shifts the entire atmosphere. Conversations quiet. Movement pauses. A 102-year-old WWII veteran stands in front of a crowd that suddenly feels much smaller, more grounded.
Golf fades into the background for a few minutes.
Perspective steps in.
By the time the final putts fall and the fairways begin to empty, what lingers isn’t just the leaderboard.

It’s the feeling carried through the day.
A tournament comfortable in its own identity. Competitive with purpose. Relaxed without losing its edge. Star power that shows up and plays.
A fairway filled with stories.
A leaderboard that holds weight.
A crowd that stayed closer than expected.
Somewhere between a flushed iron and a misread putt from a Hall of Famer, it all settles into place.
Greatness, just out there walking the same grass, enjoying the moment.

Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
