Yogi Berra will take on a new role at the Bob Hope Classic as the first “Classic Ambassador,” in which he will perform a variety of duties during the 51st edition of the tournament in the California desert.

The 84-year-old Hall of Fame catcher played 15 times in the Bob Hope. Among other things, Berra will hit the ceremonial first tee shot on Jan. 20 and present the trophy after the 90-hole tournament.
