Two Canadian members of the PGA Tour will put the Humboldt Bronco bus tragedy in a global spotlight this week in New Orleans.

Mackenzie Hughes and Corey Connors have joined forces in the two-man format at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and have been given the green light from Tour officials to use Tom Cochrane’s Big League song as their walk-up music.

Allowing walk-up music is a first for the PGA Tour this year and is similar to a baseball player walking to the batter’s box and having chosen music to accompany him.

“Like all Canadians, what happened to the Humboldt Broncos and the Sask. community really hit home with us,” Hughes wrote in an email interview with The StarPhoenix.

“When Corey and I discovered that Big League was the adopted tribute song of the tragedy and with the new addition of walk-up music at this week’s team event, we thought it would be a fitting tribute to honour the victims this way.”
