Jimmie Johnson hit the links on Wednesday for the Eighth Annual Jimmie Johnson Foundation Golf Tournament.

More than 130 golfers took to the legendary Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, Calif. The event raised more than $650,000 for the Champions Grants program, a partnership between the Jimmie Johnson Foundation and Lowe's Toolbox for Education. 

"This event keeps getting better and better," said Johnson. "I'm so thankful to everyone that supports the Foundation. It is because of sponsors like Lowe's, that we are able to provide support to K-12 public education. Chani (wife) and I look forward to continuing the great work of the Foundation."
