It will be the 12th annual Tiger Jam for golf superstar Tiger Woods, and he’s landed Gwen Stefani and her band No Doubt, who kick off their first tour in five years at the star-studded fundraising gala. AT&T will present the charity event at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on May 16, and Tiger also has booked Paramore and The Sounds as special guests with No Doubt.

Said Tiger: “I’m thrilled No Doubt is kicking off their tour at Tiger Jam. They are amazing performers, and I’m honored they are helping raise funds and awareness for the millions of young people my foundation supports.”

Gwen added: “Playing this show is going to be really fun for all of us. Tiger’s foundation empowers kids to achieve their dreams, and we’re excited to help support that.”

Highlights of the night will include top-notch epicurean fare and exclusive live and silent auctions featuring one-of-a-kind luxury items. Following the VIP dinner and auctions, the celebration will progress to the Mandalay Bay Events Center stage, where Tiger will introduce Grammy Award winners Gwen with Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young for the rocking concert. The band won two Grammy Awards for their multiplatinum album Rock Steady, and Gwen scored with two successful solo albums in 2004 and 2006. It was just three months ago that No Doubt announced plans for this year’s summer tour.

The fundraiser benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation and Las Vegas-based charities. Since he created it in 1998, Tiger has raised more than $11 million for his mission to empower youths to reach their maximum potential. Tickets for Tiger Jam, which start at $54, go on sale March 7.
