Darius Rucker knows what people need more than ever in the summer of 2020…beer and sunshine, which just so happens to be the title of his new song!

Rucker also loves to have a good time in the sunshine when he heads to the golf course with his son, Jack.

Golf has been a passion of Rucker's for years, and that is something he has proudly passed down to his teenage son. As anyone who golfs with their kids knows, it’s an opportunity to bond. This is a tradition that the two plan to continue for the rest of their lives.

He told us, “You know, having my son be a golfer and love it the way that he does is so amazing for me because you know we could do it for the rest of our lives. We could play from different tees and we could play together for as long as we can physically play."

Rucker adds, "I just look forward to those times with him…and the times we’ve already had have been amazing.”
