Country star Toby Keith died in February 2024 at the age of 64 after a battle with cancer. A few weeks ago, a giant party that included a golf outing and a rockin' performance was held in his honor.
Sammy Hagar, the legendary Van Halen frontman, and Keith's widow, Tricia Lucus Covel (Covel was Keith's given surname), hosted the 21st annual Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic in Norman, Oklahoma. Keith was obviously the host himself prior to his death, so this marks the second year they held the event without Keith.
In 2024, they held a silent auction full of country stars' donated memorabilia in order to benefit the Toby Keith Foundation OK Kids Korral — Keith was from Oklahoma and an avid Sooners fan.

For 2025, Hagar both hosted and performed, and Keith's official Instagram announced that they raised over $1.4 million for the Kids Korral this year.

Keith and Hagar were known friends, dating back to Keith being one of the stars who attended and performed at Hagar's 60th birthday bash back in 2007 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Keith was survived by his wife, Tricia, of 40 years, and their three children — daughter Shelley, 45, whom Keith adopted when he married Tricia, daughter Krystal, 39, who is a fellow country artist, and son Stelen, 28. He also had two grandchildren, Krystal's children Kirby and Hensley.
