The 1996 event will feature past Masters champion and 12-time Tour winner Craig Stadler.
Lanny Wadkins, 1995 Ryder Cup Captain and eight-time team member, will demonstrate the shots that earned him 21 Tour victories, including the PGA Championship, and $6 million in career earnings.
Long-drive champion Art Sellinger will give a clinic and join amateur teams in the Sponsor Tournament and Celebrity Pro-Am.
The Classic will also introduce LPGA Tour Pro Beth Daniel to the Celebrity Pro-Am and Celebrity Skins Challenge. Her 32 victories have earned $5 million on the Tour, placing her third on the money list.
The Celebrity Pro-Am is an 18-hole round featuring a prominent celebrity in each amateur foursome. Some past celebrities have included Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Eric Lindros and Julius Erving.
