The hosts of this year's Hamptons Golf Classic were Chris Duhon of the New York Knicks and Justin Tuck of the New York Giants, with Richie Notar of Nobu restaurant being the day's special honoree.

TW Steel and London Jewelers hosted a table in the Hampton Hills clubhouse with a selection of TW Steel's most popular styles from London Jewelers available for order. The table remained a focal point for the 200 event attendees and received constant traffic throughout the day, even resulting in on-the-spot watch sales.
