Celebration of Life for beloved golf reporter Tim Rosaforte will be livestreamed. Here’s how to watch it

Golf journalist Tim Rosaforte’s Celebration of Life will be held Thursday, February 17, at 2 p.m. at Christ Fellowship in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Rosaforte, who rose to popularity as an insider for Golf Channel, died on January 11 at 66 from Alzheimer’s disease.

Rosaforte worked for Golf Digest, Sports Illustrated, and a half-dozen Florida newspapers, including The Palm Beach Post from 1987-94.

Rosaforte was the first journalist to be given honorary membership by the PGA of America; he received the Memorial Golf Journalism Award last year; and was awarded the 2014 PGA Lifetime Achievement Award. His alma mater, the University of Rhode Island, endowed a scholarship in Rosaforte’s name in the neuroscience department.

The Honda Classic named its media room after the longtime Jupiter resident and created the Tim Rosaforte Distinguished Writers Award; he was the first winner. Players and caddies in next week’s PGA Tour event at PGA National will wear purple ribbons that read “Rosie.”

Pastor Tom Mullins will deliver the eulogy. Christ Fellowship is at 5343 Northlake Blvd.

The service will be live-streamed at funerals.online.church.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations go to West Palm Beach Alzheimer’s Society, Trustbridge Hospice, the First Tee-Florida Gulf Coast or the Tim Rosaforte Scholarship, University of Rhode Island Foundation and Alumni Engagement, P.O. Box 1700, Kingston, R.I., 02881.
