Fans, like Nate Livesay, caught pictures and video of Neyland Stadium and Gibbs High School’s football field getting airtime on the massive Sphere screens.

“When we started talking about all of the possibilities playing Sphere offered, I was all in,” Chesney is quoted on the Sphere’s website. “Just the idea of 4D technology and the impossibly dialed-in sound raises the experience for No Shoes Nation; literally immersing them in music, visuals, sound and being together. To me, this is going to be a whole new way of rocking the fans, and I can’t wait.”

Chesney will be playing at the Sphere through June 21.

PHOENIX – Memorial Day weekend for many means fueling up boats, loading up coolers and celebrating with family and friends. For a select group of amateur golfers, however, they’ll be seekig drier ground and competing in the 2025 NCAA Division 1 Men’s Golf Championship in Carlsbad, Calif.

Thirty college golf teams, including Arizona State, and six individual golfers have qualified to tee off at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa, starting with 54 holes of stroke play starting Friday and finishing up Sunday. Representing the Sun Devils are 2024 U.S. Amateur champion and three-time All-American senior Josele Ballester, junior Michael Mjaaseth, sophomore Connor Williams, freshman Peer Wernicke, sophomore Fifa Laopakdee and senior Preston Summerhays.

Additionally, from San Diego all the way to Auburn, Ga., former Arizona high school athletes will compete in the final matchup of the 2024-2025 season with the hope of bringing home the ultimate prize in college golf.

Trey Moore

Team: Utah Utes
Class: Freshman
Hometown: Scottsdale
High School: Desert Mountain
Highlights: As one of the youngest competitors in the field, Moore has made a name for himself within the Utes program in just a short amount of time. He earned his high school team’s MVP award in 2023, and he secured two junior tournament titles during his time at Desert Mountain, including the Prescott City Junior Championship. Upside defines Moore’s game, but he’ll need to dig deep into his tool belt to secure a win against the more experienced competitors on the course this weekend.

Davis Johnson

Team: Utah Utes
Class: Junior (Redshirt)
Hometown: Scottsdale
High School: Scottsdale Preparatory Academy
Highlights: From being ranked in the Top 100 for the 2021 recruiting class to recording the team’s lowest stroke average last season (71.7), consistency is the name of Johnson’s game. He is currently ranked 331st according to the World Amateur Golf Ranking, but he’s risen as high as 175th on the list at his best. He’s had three top 10 finishes in the past 104 weeks, and he’ll look to add to that total this weekend.

Henry Dall

Team: San Diego Toreros
Class: Freshman
Hometown: Phoenix
High School: Brophy College Preparatory
Highlights: Yet another freshman on our list, Dall competed as a varsity golfer for Brophy Prep all four years of his high school career. During that time, the program appeared in three Arizona state championships, including securing the state title in 2021 and 2022. Dall’s current index maintains a +3.5, Amateurgolf.com reports, an admirable statistic at any level of golf.

Hometown: Chandler
High School: Hamilton
Highlights: Though his college career started at USC, Chirravuri is now comfortably a part of the Pepperdine program, boasting a scoring average of 71.44 through his first 34 rounds of golf with the program.
