He represented the U.S. on six Ryder Cup Teams over the years and was captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup Team in 1985, the news release said.

Over four weeks in 1971, he won the U.S. Open, the Canadian Open and the Open Championship, contributing to his 1971 recognition as PGA of America Player of the Year. He also was a five-time recipient of the Vardon Trophy, the 2013 PGA Distinguished Service Award and the 1992 and 1994 Senior PGA Championships.

“We are excited to have Lee Trevino join us for this year’s Evening of Stars celebration,” stated Lyn Hruska, executive director of the Central Illinois Chapter of the American Red Cross. “We encourage everyone to join us for an inspiring night with Lee, a legendary golfer and incredible person.

Funds raised during the event will help the Red Cross provide disaster response, blood donation, training services and support to military members and their families.
