A Message to the Media elcome to the 2004 Champions Tour and our 25th season, which we enter with much anticipation and great enthusiasm. We look forward to working with our many friends in the news media over the course of our 30 official Charles Schwab Cup events this year. The Champions Tour has focused significant attention and energy over the last two years to enhance its product and position in the marketplace. These efforts are paying off as the Tour is experiencing a rising tide in terms of the competition, attendance, fan response, player interaction and sponsor interest. Today, it is a different kind of Tour. From a competitive standpoint, it features golf played at a very high level. Its roster includes players who are approachable, accessible and seeking to make a genuine connection with fans and sponsors. The Champions Tour balances competitive excellence with a high entertainment value, valuable game-improvement platform, integrity and sportsmanship, while giving back to charity and the communities where it plays. Last year offered many great story lines, both inside and outside the ropes. The season ended on a very high note at Sonoma, CA, with Jim Thorpe winning the Charles Schwab Cup Championship and Tom Watson capturing the Charles Schwab Cup. Tom donated his $1-million prize to charity and a significant portion to ALS in support of his longtime caddie and dear friend, Bruce Edwards, who is suffering from the disease. From January through October, we were treated to many exciting moments, including 25 different players winning at least one event, incredible major championships and a down-to-the-wire Player of the Year race eventually won by Tom Watson. We also experienced the Tour’s debut on The Golf Channel, several talented and personable rookies, including three-time winner Craig Stadler, and a very successful full phase-in of the Fan Features program. There are many reasons to be excited about 2004, starting with a 30-tournament schedule offering more than $52.7 million in official prize money. The Tour welcomes one new event, the Champions Tour at Augusta Pines in Houston, and Outback Steakhouse, the Blue Angels and Commerce Bank as new title sponsors in Tampa, Pensacola and Long Island, respectively. The schedule features a smooth geographic flow and much continuity in terms of title sponsors, host communities, organizations and venues. It will once again include 12 Georgia-Pacific Grand Champions events for members age 60 and over. The fresh faces of PGA TOUR champions Jerry Pate, Jay Haas, Peter Jacobsen, Mike Reid and Keith Fergus, among others, will join their many friends on the Champions Tour in 2004, as will two former Ryder Cup captains, Sam Torrance and Mark James, and 50time international winner Mark McNulty. They will be joined by other notables in the next few years, names such as Strange, Norman, Hoch, O’Meara, Cook, Price, Faldo and more. The Golf Channel, which made so many contributions last year, is poised to advance its Champions Tour coverage with extensive promotion, programming and innovation throughout the year. As always, charity will continue to be a primary stimulus for much of what we and our 30 tournaments do on the Champions Tour in 2004. Collectively, the three tours of the PGA TOUR have now generated more than $800 million for organizations in the United States and elsewhere since 1938, and we look forward to growing that number in 2004. In closing, we appreciate your coverage of this Tour and sharing with the public the many good stories there are to tell about our members. We look forward to working with you in the year ahead and remind you our entire communications team stands ready to assist you whenever the need arises. See you on Tour in 2004!

The name of our organization is the PGA TOUR, a tax-exempt membership group of professional golfers that plays more than 100 officialmoney tournaments on three TOURs – the PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour. Our headquarters are located in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, southeast of Jacksonville. We should never be referred to as the PGA as we are a different organization than the PGA (of America). We are the PGA TOUR. On second reference, you can call us the TOUR. The PGA is the Professional Golfers’ Association of America, a membership organization for the nation’s club professionals. The PGA runs the PGA Championship, Senior PGA Championship and Ryder Cup Matches, among other championships. The PGA headquarters are located in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The PGA TOUR and PGA of America were affiliated until 1968, when the tournament players, a small subset of the total PGA membership, broke away to form the Tournament Players Division and gain more control of their finances and tournament schedule. The Tournament Players Division was renamed the PGA TOUR in 1975. While the two organizations still work

closely together today, the PGA TOUR and PGA of America are separate entities. Two other American golf organizations are involved in men’s professional tournament play, independent of the PGA TOUR but with their marquee events included on the PGA TOUR schedule as non-PGA TOUR cosponsored tournaments. The United States Golf Association, with headquarters in Far Hills, NJ, oversees the national championships (U.S. Open, U.S. Senior Open, U.S. Amateur, U.S. Women’s Amateur, etc.) and administers the Rules of Golf, among other duties. The Augusta (GA) National Golf Club plays host to the Masters Tournament. In 2003, two of our Tours were renamed to create a closer brand family under the PGA TOUR umbrella. The Champions Tour will continue to combine extremely competitive golf for champions of the game age 50 and older with a fan-friendly platform that promotes "inside the ropes" and gameimprovement for its fans. The Nationwide Tour grows as a virtual extension of the PGA TOUR. Through 2003, 137 PGA TOUR tournaments have been won by former Nationwide Tour players.

Name PGA TOUR’s Champions Tour (first reference)
In 2004, the field size for Champions Tour events returns to 78 players (vs. 81 in 2003), except at those tournaments that have specific eligibility criteria.
Headquarters 112 PGA TOUR Boulevard, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082, Tel: 904-285-3700
Eligibility In order to be eligible for an official Champions Tour event, a player must be at least 50 years of ago prior to his first tournament obligation. The field size at the majority of Champions Tour events in 2004 will return to 78 players (vs. 81 in 2003) and eligibility requirements modified as follows for standard 78-player fields:
Commissioner Timothy W. Finchem (since June 1, 1994) Web Site PGATOUR.COM Overview Formerly the Senior PGA Tour, the Champions Tour is a tax-exempt membership organization of professional golfers age 50 and older. Since its inception in 1980 with just four sanctioned events and purses totaling $475,000, the Champions Tour has 30 official Charles Schwab Cup events offering more than $52.5 million in official prize money in 2004 and its highest average purse ever of $1.75 million. The Tour has an additional lineup of four Challenge/unofficial money events that are played in January, November and December. The Champions Tour operates under the umbrella of the PGA TOUR, which includes the PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour. The Champions Tour’s primary purpose as a component of the PGA TOUR is to provide significant competitive and earnings opportunities for players age 50 and older; to protect the integrity of the game; and to help grow the reach of the game in the U.S. and around the world. In addition to providing competitive opportunities for its membership, Champions Tour events also generate significant sums of money for charity. The three Tours of the PGA TOUR and their tournaments have generated more than $800 million for charity since the first recorded donation was made in 1938. More than $70 million was raised in 2003.

Tom Watson accomplished many things in 2004, both on and off the golf course. Perhaps his greatest achievement was winning the Charles Schwab Cup in late October and announcing plans to donate the $1-million first prize to ALS research and patient care in support of his longtime caddie and friend Bruce Edwards. Respect for Watson, always high among his peers, grew immeasurably throughout 2003 as fellow players watched the Kansas City native rise to the occasion week after week in competition, while fiercely supporting his friend and attacking ALS off the course. It was a moving scene when Watson took the microphone at the closing ceremonies for the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship with his wife, Hilary, and Edwards at his side. “We’re going to find a way to beat this thing and help my buddy, Bruce, and Jeff Julian and 30,000 others who are affected by this awful disease,” he said. Julian is a former PGA TOUR player who also suffers from the disease. Watson clinched the 2003 Charles Schwab Cup race with a dramatic second-place finish in the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Watson’s strong finish held off Bruce Lietzke to win the 2003 Cup by 1,370 points. Jim Thorpe vaulted from sixth to second place with his victory in Sonoma, earning him the $500,000 runner-up prize. The Charles Schwab Cup is a season-long championship points program designed to recognize the Tour’s leading player. The program rewards both top finishes and week-in/week-out consistency at all 31 official/Charles Schwab Cup events. Points are awarded to the top-10 finishers and ties and are based on the money distribution for each tournament, with every $1,000 earned being the equivalent of one Charles Schwab Cup point. Points are tripled at the Champions Tour’s five major championships and the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.
Watson led the final eight weeks of the year after trailing Lietzke for six weeks in July and August. Other Charles Schwab Cup leaders during the course of the year were Dana Quigley, Gil Morgan, Hale Irwin and John Jacobs.

Sikes is named chairman of what became known as the Senior Advisory Council, and Snead was named honorary chairman.

April 1 — Jack Nicklaus captures The Tradition crown in Scottsdale and becomes the fourth player to win in his Champions Tour debut. June 10 — Jack Nicklaus rips Dearborn (MI) CC apart to win the Mazda Senior TPC by six strokes over Lee Trevino. Nicklaus’ 27-under 261 total sets a new standard for scoring in a 72-hole event on the Champions Tour. July 1 — Lee Trevino nips Jack Nicklaus at Ridgewood CC in New Jersey for the U.S. Senior Open title. Trevino’s win makes him the fifth player to claim a U.S. Open and U.S. Senior Open crown. December 16 — Lee Trevino’s runner-up performance at the season-ending New York Life Champions in Puerto Rico puts him over the seven-figure mark and makes him the first single-season millionaire in Champions Tour history. 1991 The list of Champions Tour millionaires grows when Mike Hill becomes the second senior to top $1 million in 1991.

His $1,027,002 makes him the first player to surpass seven figures twice in a senior career, and five tournament wins propel the Merry Mex to a second Player of the Year honor. June 28 — Gibby Gilbert equals the Champions Tour’s 54-hole scoring record of 193 in winning the Southwestern Bell Classic near Kansas City. His nine-stroke cushion equals the widest 54-hole victory margin in Champions Tour history. 2004 Champions Tour Media Guide / 1-11

Outdueled Hale Irwin down the stretch at the TPC of Tampa Bay. Was the beneficiary of a two-stroke swing at the 17th hole on Sunday and went on to record his 16th career title on the circuit…Also challenged Tom Jenkins down the stretch at the Bruno's Memorial Classic, but finished solo second after making bogey on two of the last three holes…Made a spirited bid for another victory at the Columbus Southern Open, but his closing-round, 8-under-par 62 fell two strokes shy of eventual winner Morris Hatalsky…Opened with a 7-under-par 64 at the FleetBoston Classic in August and hung in contention for the duration before falling by three strokes to Allen Doyle and finishing T2 along with Bob Gilder…Also T2 at the Allianz Championship despite shooting a 7-under 64 in the second round, the low 18-hole score in the event…The week prior, set a tournament mark in the opening round of the Long Island Classic when he shot an 8-under-par 62 (later broken by Jim Thorpe's second-round 60), but slipped to T16 after rounds of 72-71 on the weekend…Finished the year with eight straight par/better rounds and started his last four events with a round in the 60s. CHAMPIONS TOUR CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: 2002: Finished third on the money list and recorded 20 top-10 finishes with 46 rounds in the 60s, both second to Hale Irwin (22/50)…Claimed his first title in more than 12 months when he had a record-setting performance at the RJR Championship. Was a five-stroke victor over Hale Irwin, and in the process, set Champions Tour 36- and 54-hole scoring records. His 54-hole total of 191 (19-under-par) broke the previous low by two strokes (set in 1989 by Bob Charles and matched by Charles Coody in 1991 and Gibby Gilbert in 1992) and his 36-hole score broke the old mark by two strokes, as well (set by Jim Colbert in 1994 and matched by Hale Irwin in 1997). Opened the tournament by tying the Champions Tour record with a 60 (10-under-par) that included pars on the last four holes. Had 10 birdies and 23 putts on the par-70 Tanglewood course. Win made him the last of three wire-to-wire winners during the year (Tom Kite, MasterCard Championship, and Bob Gilder, FleetBoston Classic). 2001: Earned over $2 million for the third straight year and went down to the wire with Allen Doyle for the top spot in the first Charles Schwab Cup competition and the money list…Among his three victories was his first major championship on the Champions Tour at the U.S. Senior Open…Joined Doyle as the only players to finish in the top 10 in all four senior major championships…Of his 94 rounds, 48 were in the 60s, and he had 70 sub-par rounds…Claimed his biggest career title at the U.S. Senior Open at Salem CC near Boston, one year after losing the 54-hole lead at Saucon Valley and finishing second to Hale Irwin.

Was the only player in the field to post three rounds in the 60s and was three strokes better than John Bland. 2000: Successfully defended three titles during the year…Edged Vicente Fernandez by two points at the Royal Caribbean Classic, thanks to five birdies on Sunday in the Modified Stableford format event…Bested Hubert Green in a playoff at The Home Depot Invitational, making birdie on the third extra hole of overtime.

NOTES: When Lee Trevino birdied the first hole to win a skin and $20,000, it was his first skin in the Champions Skins Game since 1994 when he birdied the eighth hole to win three skins and $50,000 at Mauna Lani. He was blanked in 1995 and 1997, his last two appearances…Trevino finally won The ConAgra Foods Champions Skins Game in his seventh attempt. His best previous finish was second place in 1991 when he won seven skins and $125,000…Jack Nicklaus’ win on the eighth hole was worth seven skins and $160,000. The amount established a mark for the most money won for one skin on the front nine. By winning $200,000 in the tournament’s first day of competition, Hale Irwin has won $1,570,000 in The ConAgra Foods Champions Skins Game and $3,253,475 in all professional golf tournaments he has played in Hawaii.

SECTION 3 / SUMMARIES
Dana Quigley birdied two of the last three holes to hold off Larry Nelson for the eighth win of his Champions Tour career. Quigley’s foot-and-ahalf putt at 18 was the difference as Nelson could not recover from an awkward fairway lie on the final hole. The pair had been tied going to 18 after Nelson made long birdie putts at 16 and 17. On the final hole, Nelson’s tee shot landed near a sprinkler head, forcing him to hit his second shot while standing partially in a hole. He pulled his approach shot left, and his subsequent blast out and two-putt led to a bogey, giving Quigley a two-stroke victory. Quigley birdied 18 after hitting an almost-perfect shot from 106 yards away with his 60-degree wedge. The ball stopped just over a foot from the hole. Quigley’s win denied Nelson his second win at Hualalai in the last three years. Nelson was the winner in 2001. The victory also gave Quigley two wins in his last three starts, dating back to the 2002 season.

KEYS TO VICTORY Dave Barr birdied the last four holes to become the first Canadian to win on the Champions Tour. Barr was four shots off the lead as he made his way to the 15th hole on Sunday, but he holed seven-foot birdie putts on Nos. 15 and 16. He then ran home a 35-footer for birdie at the par-3 17th to tie both Gil Morgan and Bobby Wadkins for the lead. Playing with Wadkins and just ahead of Morgan, Barr pulled his second shot left near the grandstands on the par-5 18th. After receiving a free drop, he pitched his third shot 35 feet past the hole and then curled in the birdie putt to take the lead. Wadkins found himself in the greenside bunker in two and blasted out to within six feet of the hole. His birdie putt to tie Barr slid past the hole. Morgan tied Barr with a 15-foot birdie putt at No. 17 but pushed his drive to the right at the 18th into the mangrove trees. He eventually chipped his fourth shot seven feet left of the hole and was unable to send the tournament into a playoff when his par-saving putt lipped out. Tournament Record:
Douglass and Aoki finished 36 holes at 1-under-par 143. Douglass collected a check for $30,000 for his victory. CUT: There was no cut; 80 of 81 players completed 54 holes. WEATHER: Partly cloudy each day, with highs ranging from the mid-70s to the upper 80s. Winds were from the southeast on Friday at 5-10 mph and from the northeast on Saturday and Sunday at 5-10 mph.

Vicente Fernandez ended a victory drought of three years, nine months with his three-stroke win in Naples. The Argentine made bogey on his first of 54 holes but didn’t make another. He assumed control of the tournament with a birdie at the par-4 10th Sunday and opened a two-stroke advantage with a two-putt birdie from 20 feet at the par-5 17th. Fernandez left himself with a long birdie chance on the last hole and capped his week by draining the 61foot putt. Des Smyth, the medalist from QSchool, was impressive in his Champions Tour debut, closing the event with birdies on five of his final six holes. The Irishman’s fast finish allowed him to grab a share of second place with Tom Watson, who made birdies on three of his last four holes at The Club at TwinEagles.

Bruce Fleisher captured his second Verizon Classic title in the last four years, outdueling Hale Irwin down the stretch. Irwin had forged a one-stroke lead over Fleisher with birdies at the 12th, 14th and 15th holes. The tournament’s dramatic swing came at the par-3 17th. After Irwin put his tee shot 20 feet from the hole. Fleisher rifled a 3-iron shot to within seven feet of the flag. Irwin’s first putt went five feet past the hole, and after Fleisher holed his birdie putt, Irwin missed the comeback effort for par. Both players had makeable birdie putts at No. 18, but when Irwin’s 13-foot birdie effort hung on the lip, Fleisher had his 16th Champions Tour title.

KEYS TO VICTORY David Eger birdied three of the last four holes to nip Hale Irwin, Eamonn Darcy, Bruce Lietzke and Tom Jenkins by one stroke. Eger, who started the final round in seventh place, four strokes behind, shot a closing-round, 7-under 65. He made eight birdies, with his only blemish coming on the 13th hole when he hit his tee shot out of bounds. However, he followed with birdies on 15, 17 and 18 for his first career win. The players in the day’s final group—Darcy, Lietzke and Jenkins—all had opportunities to tie Eger with birdies on the par-5 18th hole, but all three players failed to make their putts.

NOTES: Eamonn Darcy had a nice debut on the Champions Tour with his tie for second place...Hale Irwin finished tied for second for the second consecutive year in the event...David Eger’s winning check for $300,000 was by far the largest of his career. His previous best was $34,800 when he tied for ninth at the 2002 SBC Senior Open...Second-round leaders/co-leaders have not fared well at this event. In the first four events, no second-round leader has gone on to win the tournament.

Tom Purtzer rolled in a 58-foot eagle putt on the final hole to end Gil Morgan’s bid for his third win in the rain-shortened event near Los Angeles. Morgan had a two-stroke advantage over Purtzer going to the final hole but missed an eight-foot par putt that would have forced a playoff. Purtzer had dropped two strokes behind Morgan when he bogeyed the 17th hole, but his eagle putt pulled him even with Morgan. It was Morgan’s second shot at 18 which proved costly. He pulled his 3-wood left, and after hitting a 9iron to 30 feet, three-putted, giving Purtzer his first Champions Tour title. There were five lead changes during the round.

Davis opened with rounds of 65-64 for a 36-hole total of 13-under-par 129. He closed with a 3-under-par 68 for his four-stroke margin. Davis birdied holes two and three and showed some signs of faltering with bogeys at five and eight. But the Australian did not make a bogey over the last 10 holes. He birdied holes 11, 13 and 16 to pull away from the field.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY
KEYS TO VICTORY Bob Gilder broke away from a tightly bunched leaderboard to claim his seventh career Champions Tour title. Gilder and Tom Watson shared the second-round lead, with eight other players within three strokes. Gilder took control early in the final round with birdies on the first three holes. He went on to shoot a 7-under 63, the best final-round score in tournament history. Watson faded quickly from contention with bogeys of the first and third holes. Gilder’s 54-hole total of 17-under-par 193 shattered by four strokes Isao Aoki’s tournament record set in 1997. His fourstroke victory margin tied the record set in 2000 by Gil Morgan.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY cont.
KEYS TO VICTORY Despite making par on the final 10 holes, Bruce Lietzke managed to hold off both Dana Quigley and David Eger for his sixth career Champions Tour title. Lietzke missed just one green in the final round but struggled with the putter. Quigley seemed to be the most likely to catch Lietzke. He made a 12-foot birdie putt at No. 15 to get within one shot of Lietzke. But he couldn’t capitalize on any other birdie opportunities down the stretch. Lietzke’s 10-under 206 earned him a check for $350,000, at the time the largest paycheck of his career.

NOTES
SECTION 3 / SUMMARIES
1997 In winning the Raphael Division, the team of Gary Koch and Roger Maltbie went all 36 holes of the better-ball competition without making a bogey…Bruce Lietzke and Leonard Thompson led the field in Greens in Regulation for the week, with both players hitting 46 of 54 (85 percent) greens…The driveable par-4 14th hole at the Westin Savannah Harbor course proved to be the difference in the tournament. Lietzke played the hole in 3-under (eagle-birdiepar) while David Eger was 1-under there and Dana Quigley made par all three days…Arnold Palmer shot his age for the second time in 2003 when he posted a 1-over 73 in the first round…Bob Charles made his first Champions Tour start of the year after rehabbing from an elbow injury.

While his chief competitors were faltering, Tom Jenkins made four birdies over his last 14 holes to cruise to a three-stroke victory over Bruce Fleisher. It was Jenkins’ fourth win in five years on the Champions Tour. Jenkins and Fleisher trailed Hale Irwin by one stroke after two days, but Irwin faltered in the final round. After making it through the tournament’s first 38 holes without a bogey, Irwin had four in the next 12 holes and eventually finished in third, tied with Jim Colbert five shots back of Jenkins. Fleisher stayed in contention until he missed a five-foot par putt on No. 16 and bogeyed again on No. 18.

Tom Jenkins became the 12th different champion in the 12-year history of the event. He led the field with 18 birdies, and along with Graham Marsh made just two bogeys all week. Jenkins only needed 78 total putts over 54 holes, while Bruce Fleisher, his closest pursuer, took 84 total strokes with the putter…Jim Colbert’s tie for third was his best Champions Tour performance in almost two years…Dana Quigley extended his run of par/better rounds at this event to 18 consecutive. Hale Irwin’s final-round 73 snapped a streak of 17 straight par/better scores at Greystone…Even with five par-5s on the Founder’s course at Greystone, only six eagles were made in 2003 compared to 13 in the 2002 event. 2004 Champions Tour Media Guide / 3-13

KEYS TO VICTORY Hale Irwin overcame double and triple bogeys on the first six holes to defeat Tom Watson in a two-hole playoff for his 37th career Champions Tour title. After a double bogey on the third hole, Irwin four-putted the par-4 sixth hole to fall four strokes behind leader Tom Kite. Irwin appeared to have ruined his chances when he three-putted from inches away, including a whiff on his bogey effort. However, from that point on, Irwin hung close to Kite, who saw his own chances slip away with bogeys on 17 and 18 when it appeared the tournament was his to win. Irwin sank short birdie putts on 17 and 18 and found himself tied with Watson at the close of play. After pars by Irwin and Watson on the first playoff hole, Watson narrowly missed on his birdie effort from 25 feet on the second playoff hole, the par-3, 16th. Irwin hit a 7-iron to eight feet and then drained his birdie putt to end the playoff.

Jay Sigel’s nine-foot birdie putt on the last hole helped him turn back Mike McCullough, giving Sigel his eighth career Champions Tour win. Sigel’s birdie at the par-5 18th capped a 7-under, 65 in the final round that tied the course record at The National Golf Club of Kansas City. McCullough, playing one group behind the 59-year-old Sigel, had pulled into a tie after making three straight birdies on Nos. 13, 14 and 15. However, on the last hole, after Sigel made his birdie, McCullough pulled his drive into the rough and was forced to lay up with his second shot. He eventually missed his 20-foot bid for birdie that would have sent the event into a playoff.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY
KEYS TO VICTORY Mistake-free play over the course of 54 holes was the difference for Morris Hatalsky in his one-stroke win over Allen Doyle. Hatalsky, who played all 54 holes without a bogey, closed with a 3-under-par 67 to nip local favorite Doyle, who lives just 35 miles away in nearby LaGrange, GA. Hatalsky finished Sunday’s final round with eight straight pars. But birdies on Nos. 4, 7 and 10 would prove critical in his second career victory. “I was basically coaxing in 20-, 25-footers for two putts,” Hatalsky said. “I saw Allen didn’t make birdie on 18, so there was no pressure on me to make birdie.”

NOTES: Morris Hatalsky became the first player to play an event without a bogey since Tom Jenkins did so at the 2002 Toshiba Senior Classic. He was also the first player to win an event without a bogey since Bruce Fleisher at the 1999 Transamerica. Hatalsky finished the tournament with a string of 79 holes without a bogey...Fleisher narrowly missed tying the Green Island Country Club scoring record when he closed with an 8-under-par 62, one shy of the record held by several players...Larry Nelson matched his careerbest round on the Champions Tour when he closed with a 7-under-par 63. It was the seventh time in his career he had shot a 63...Hubert Green had one of the tournament’s best comebacks. After opening with a 3-over-par 73 on Friday, Green bounced back with back-to-back 6-under-par 64s to finish tied for seventh.

Jim Ahern went wire-to-wire for his first victory since winning the 1999 AT&T Canada Senior Open Championship. After rounds of 64-63, Ahern closed with a 3-under-par 69 for a fourstroke win over Jose Maria Canizares. A late charge by Canizares narrowed Ahern’s lead to two strokes with four holes to play, but his late comeback attempt ran out of gas when he bogeyed No.15 and Ahern birdied No. 16 to push the lead back to four strokes with two to play.

Tournament Record: 196, Jim Ahern, 2003 Course Record: 62, Dave Stockton, 1994; Isao Aoki, 1998
WWW.PGATOUR.COM
Morris Hatalsky’s string of consecutive holes without a bogey ended at 98 when he made a bogey on the second hole in the second round. However, he still broke the all-time Champions Tour record of 97 set in 1994 by the late Jack Kiefer…Jim Ahern’s 36-hole total of 15-under-par 127 broke the tournament mark of 14-under-par 128 by Isao Aoki in 1998...Ahern’s 127 was also the fourth best (tie with Tom Kite/2001 Gold Rush Classic) 36-hole, opening rounds effort in Champions Tour history…Ahern’s 7-underpar 29 on the front nine was the best front nine in tournament history...The tournament had a player better his age for the third time in the last four years when 72-year-old Gene Littler shot a 71 in the final round. Miller Barber did it in 2000 and 2002.

KEYS TO VICTORY John Jacobs birdied the 15th and 16th holes at Aronimink to pull away from Bobby Wadkins for his first Champions Tour major title. A rain suspension Saturday forced Jacobs to play 31 holes Sunday. Hoping just to lag a 25-foot putt close to the hole, Jacobs seized control of the championship by making his birdie putt on the par4 15th. Jacobs then reached the par-5 16th in two and two-putted for a birdie, giving him a twostroke lead over Wadkins, who had three putted for par at No. 16 moments earlier. Wadkins, in fact, did not birdie either of Aronimink’s par-5s over his four rounds on the course.

Doug Tewell caught Eamonn Darcy with a dramatic eagle on the par-5 17th hole and then eventually defeated the former Irish Ryder Cup star in a playoff for his seventh career Champons Tour title. Tewell trailed Darcy by two strokes before hitting a 4-iron approach from 214 yards to within 15 feet at No. 17. Just shortly after Darcy two-putted for a par at the last hole, Tewell made his 15-foot eagle putt that propelled him into the playoff. Darcy missed a golden opportunity on the first playoff hole when he missed a six-foot par putt after using a 5-wood to chip from the rough behind the green. Tewell eventually won with a 14-foot birdie putt two holes later.

KEYS TO VICTORY Despite hitting just 28 of a possible 60 fairways (46.7 percent) for the week, it was Bruce Lietzke’s performance on the greens that proved decisive. That, coupled with a third-round 64, helped Lietzke to his first major championship of any kind as he defeated Tom Watson by two strokes. Lietzke needed just 107 putts for the week, an average of just under 27 per day. Lietzke started the final round with a four-stroke margin over Watson and Vicente Fernandez, but neither of his challengers could make up the difference despite consecutive bogeys by Lietzke on the final two holes. Watson closed with a 71, while Fernandez finished with a 72.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY
KEYS TO VICTORY Four events into his Champions Tour career, Craig Stadler broke away early from a pack of players and then cruised to his first victory and first major championship. Stadler started the final round in a three-way tie for the lead but moved ahead for good with three consecutive birdies on the front nine (Nos. 5-7). After making a short birdie putt at No. 10 to increase his lead to three strokes, Stadler put himself out of reach when he chipped in for birdie at the par-3 12th. Despite a flurry of birdies from both Tom Kite and Jim Thorpe, as well as a two-hour rain delay, Stadler remained in control and secured the threeshot triumph, his first victory since the 1996 Nissan Open in Los Angeles.

KEYS TO VICTORY Tom Watson revived memories of his famous Duel In The Sun at Turnberry when he closed with a 6-under-par 64 and then defeated England’s Carl Mason with a par-4 on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff. Playing the 18th a second time, Watson’s drive split the fairway while Mason’s tee shot found the fairway bunker. After Mason pitched out from the bunker, he did not reach the putting surface until he had played four strokes. Watson’s second shot stopped pin high from the flag, and he routinely two-putted for the victory.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY
KEYS TO VICTORY Hometown favorite Allen Doyle didn’t disappoint his local followers. Doyle, who grew up just a few miles from the Nashawtuc Country Club layout in Concord, cruised to a three-stroke victory. After opening with a 68, Doyle followed with a tournament-record 63 in the second round. Doyle closed with a 4-under 67 as he made pars on the last 10 holes on his way to his first win in two years. Doyle started the final round with a two-stroke margin over defending champion Bob Gilder and James Mason. He made eagle on No. 5 and carded a birdie on No. 8 to increase his lead to four strokes. None of his challengers ever made a serious run after that.

Wayne Levi made a four-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to win his first Champions Tour title. On Sunday, Levi found himself in trouble when his second shot landed on the edge of the rough on the 18th hole. However, the 1990 PGA TOUR Player of the Year deftly chipped to within four feet of the hole and sank the ensuing putt for his first win. He was one of nearly a half-dozen players who were in contention at various points on the final day, but he would be the last one standing as miscues down the stretch proved costly for some challengers. Second-round leader Tom Purtzer hit two balls in the water at 17, on his way to a triple bogey. Ben Crenshaw, who was tied for the lead on the back nine, suffered a similar fate when he double bogeyed after two of his tee shots found water on No. 14. Gil Morgan, another challenger, saw his second shot at 18 bounce near a scoreboard, and he eventually missed a seven-foot birdie putt that would have gotten him into a playoff. Runner-up Morris Hatalsky also ran into trouble, starting his back nine Sunday with a double bogey.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY
KEYS TO VICTORY Jim Thorpe’s 10-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole helped him overtake Bob Gilder and earn him his first title of the 2003 season. Thorpe started the day with a two-stroke margin over Gilder, but a double bogey on the fourth hole dropped him one behind Gilder. The pair was even at the turn, and Gilder twice had one-stroke leads on the back nine after birdies on Nos. 11 and 14. But Thorpe tied Gilder with a birdie at 16 and then added another at 17 to take the lead for good. Gilder had a six-foot putt to send the tournament to a playoff, but it slid by, preserving Thorpe’s win.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY
KEYS TO VICTORY With temperatures hovering near 100 degrees on the weekend, Don Pooley completed his comeback from shoulder surgery with a threestroke victory over Bruce Lietzke, Bruce Fleisher and Jim Thorpe. Pooley had been sidelined for five months and was playing in just his eighth event of the 2003 season. Pooley’s 25-foot eagle putt at No. 11, a hole that Fleisher bogeyed and Thorpe parred, and a six-foot birdie putt at No. 14 enabled him to break away from a congested leaderboard that included former major league pitcher Rick Rhoden. Rhoden took a one-shot lead to No. 12, but threeputted the next three holes for bogey and eventually tied for fifth in the event.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY
KEYS TO VICTORY Tom Watson fulfilled a promise to his caddie, Bruce Edwards, by winning the JELD-WEN Tradition, his second consecutive major championship win; Watson’s clutch up-and-down birdie on the final hole at The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club gave him multiple majors in a season for the first time since 1982. After finding the greenside bunker with his second shot on the par-5 18th hole, Watson blasted out to within four feet of the hole and made the birdie putt. He finished one stroke ahead of Tom Kite, Jim Ahern and Gil Morgan, who all had chances to tie Watson, but couldn’t. Playing just ahead of Watson, Morgan hit an errant tee shot on the 18th and eventually missed a lengthy birdie attempt. Ahern was just over the final green in two, but couldn’t convert after leaving his pitch shot eight feet from the hole. Kite had the final chance to catch Watson, but after pitching his third shot to within seven feet of the flag, he left his birdie putt short.

KEYS TO VICTORY
KROGER SENIOR CLASSIC 1990 Jim Dent~ 133
Harold Henning

Gil Morgan shook off the affects of a slow start to go wire-to-wire at the Tournament Players Club at River’s Bend. Morgan, who held a twostroke margin over eventual runner-up Doug Tewell after 36 holes, started the day with backto-back birdies on Nos. 3 and 4, but from that point on he played solid golf with seven birdies in the final 14 holes, with just one more bogey. He held his two-stroke margin through nine holes and increased his margin to three strokes with a birdie at No. 12. However, his bogey at No. 13 and a Tewell birdie dropped the margin back to one stroke with five to play. From that point on, Morgan did not make a mistake, adding birdies on No. 15 and No. 18 to finish two better than Tewell, who missed birdie putts of 12 and nine feet, respectively, on the two finishing holes.

A bee sting couldn’t stop Larry Nelson from claiming his first victory in nearly two years. Prior to his win near Baltimore, Nelson’s last victory came at the 2001 SBC Championship. A bee stung Nelson on the ninth hole when he touched the belt area on his pants. After the subsequent pain diminished, Nelson played near flawless golf the rest of the way, finishing with two birdies and no bogeys on the final nine holes. The first came at No. 11 when he drained a 25-foot putt. He added some insurance with a 15foot birdie putt at No. 16. Nelson also made a nifty up and down at No. 18. Along the way he held off a number of contenders, including runner-up Doug Tewell, Des Smyth, Jim Dent and Jay Sigel. It was the second straight week Tewell had finished in the runner-up position, having finished second to Gil Morgan at the Kroger Classic.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY
KEYS TO VICTORY D.A. Weibring’s dramatic eagle-birdie finish at Prestonwood was good enough to overtake Tom Kite and hold off Bobby Wadkins for his first Champions Tour title. Weibring, battling flu-like symptoms for most of the week, seemed out of contention after three-putting the par-4 16th hole. However, after landing a 4-wood second shot to within nine feet on the par-5 17th, Weibring made the putt for eagle to move back into a tie for the lead. He then followed up the eagle with a 14-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to seal his initial title in his 10th Champions Tour start.

Craig Stadler took advantage of a hot start Sunday to cruise past Larry Nelson for his second Champions Tour title in just his 12th event since turning 50 in June. Stadler vaulted into the lead after opening his final round with four straight birdies, including a 50-foot putt on No. 2. He turned for home with a two-stroke lead over Nelson after making birdie at No. 7 and then moved to 15-under with an eight-foot birdie putt on No. 11. Moments later, Nelson three-putted from 25 feet on the same hole for a bogey to fall four shots back. Nelson never regained any momentum down the stretch, and Stadler closed with seven straight pars.

Hale Irwin and Tom Kite, who have staged numerous battles over the years, became involved in another on Hawaii’s North Shore. While Kite was seeking his first win of the 2003 season, Irwin was looking to become the first player on the Champions Tour to win the same event four consecutive times. Irwin shared the first-round lead before Kite’s second-round 5-under-par 67 gave him sole possession of the lead after two rounds, three better than Irwin. However, Irwin quickly made up ground in Sunday’s final round when he opened with birdies on three of the first four holes to grab the lead after Kite bogeyed No. 3. There would be five lead changes after that, with the margin never greater than one. Irwin seized control at No. 17 when he hit his 8-iron to 18 feet and dropped in his birdie putt to go back in front by one. Needing a birdie on the par-5, final hole, Kite decided to go for the green in two, but his 3-wood shot over a water hazard was short, hit some rocks, and landed in the water—ending any hopes for the win.

KEYS TO VICTORY Craig Stadler offset early birdies by both Bob Gilder and Tom Watson on Sunday with a pair of his own on the front nine and eventually cruised to his third victory on the Champions Tour in his 13th start. For Stadler, the victory at Oak Hills was also his second consecutive on the Champions Tour. He started the final round with a two-stroke lead and after watching Gilder and Watson take turns birdieing the first and second holes, Stadler countered with a 20foot birdie at No. 3. After Watson made back-to-back bogeys at the eighth and ninth holes, Stadler’s lead was three strokes at the turn. He then hit driver, 4-iron to 15 feet on the par-5 10th hole and calmly rolled in the eagle putt to increase his lead to five strokes. Gilder was destined to finish second in this event for a third consecutive year when he fell six strokes back after three-putting from 12 feet for bogey on No. 11. Even with a bogey of his own at the 17th hole, Stadler finished four strokes ahead of Gilder, the largest margin of victory in tournament history. Tournament Record:

SECTION 3 / SUMMARIES
Before the start of the season-ending event, Jim Thorpe predicted that a 20-under total would win at Sonoma Golf Club. Thanks to a dream finish, he was correct. Thorpe backed up a dramatic eagle at No. 16 with a 10-foot birdie at the par-3 17th to outduel Tom Watson. Thorpe clung to a one-stroke lead over a charging Watson as both players approached the 16th green in the final round. With Watson 15 feet away from a possible tying birdie, Thorpe holed a 67-foot eagle putt from just off the front of the putting surface. Watson didn’t immediately go away, however, making his birdie putt after Thorpe picked his ball out of the hole. But Thorpe’s birdie on No. 17 sealed the deal and gave him his third Champions Tour career victory in Northern California and a $440,000 check, his largest payday ever. Thorpe became the first wireto-wire winner of this event since Jim Colbert led from start-to-finish in 1995.

Glossary Of Statistics Total Driving Total Driving is computed by totaling a player’s rank in driving distance and driving accuracy.
SECTION 4 / 2003 RECORDS
Driving Distance* The average number of yards per measured drive. Driving distance is measured on two holes per round. Care is taken to select holes which face in opposite directions to counteract the effects of wind. Drives are measured to the point they come to rest, regardless of whether they are in the fairway or not. Driving Accuracy The percentage of time a player is able to hit the fairway with his tee shot. Greens in Regulation The percentage of time a player was able to hit the green in regulation (greens hit in regulation/holes played). Note: A green is considered hit in regulation if any part of the ball is touching the putting surface and the number of strokes taken is two or less than par.
Sand Saves Percentage The percentage of time a player is able to get up and down once in a greenside sand bunker. Note: This up and down is computed regardless of score on the hole. Eagles (holes per) The average number of holes between each eagle. Birdie Leaders The average number of birdies made per round played. All Around This statistic is computed by totaling a player's rank in each of the following statistics: Scoring Leaders, Putting Leaders, Eagle Leaders, Birdie Leaders, Sand Saves, Greens in Regulation, Driving Distance and Driving Accuracy. * As ShotLink is utilized on the Champions Tour in 2004, it will provide capabilities to greatly enhance Champions Tour statistical measurements.
Putting Average Measures putting performance on greens hit in regulation. For each green hit in regulation, the total number of putts is divided by the number of greens hit in regulation. By using greens hit in regulation, we are able to eliminate the affects of chipping close and one-putting in the computation. 4-10 / 2004 Champions Tour Media Guide

* Note: The PGA TOUR Policy Board approved in September 2002 the retroactive awarding of an official victory to winners of the British Open prior to 1995. The Policy Board determined that champions prior to 1995 should be recognized as having won a major championship while also receiving career victory credit. Player records were adjusted at the start of the 2003 season so as to not change eligibility in the PGA TOUR Past Champions category during the course of the 2002 season.

Michelob ULTRA will serve as “Official Beer of the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour” beginning this year. Golf and the Michelob brands are a perfect match. Golf sets strict standards for the caliber of its players and its level of sportsmanship.

With the brands’ nonalcohol partner O’Doul’s and O’Doul’s Amber, Michelob, Michelob Light and Michelob ULTRA have the perfect opportunity to reach an important and similar demographic, applying grassroots retail promotions, golf-themed packaging and advertising, PGA TOUR tournament sponsorships and national programs.

O’DOUL’S O’Doul’s is enjoying its 11th year as the “Official Non-Alcohol Brew of the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour.” The best-selling non-alcohol brew in the United States, O’Doul’s continues to grow as its marketing plans are successfully integrated with the TOUR, through golf-themed promotions and advertising.

Charity: Giving Back…The Heart of the PGA TOUR Success on the PGA TOUR can be seen in the true mission of the organization: Giving back in the communities where we play. This is evidenced by the efforts of tournaments, volunteers and players in raising money and awareness for charitable giving which has benefited countless people and programs. The beneficiaries come from programs such as Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (BellSouth Classic) and the Boys and Girls Club of Assabet Valley (FleetBoston Classic), the 2002 PGA TOUR and Champions Tour Charities of the Year, respectively. Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, one of the largest pediatric healthcare systems in the country, has received in excess of $10 million from the BellSouth Classic since 1981. The Boys and Girls Club of Assabet Valley serves over 600 youth in the Concord, MA, area, an average of 90 children per day between the ages of 5 and 18, and thrives just nine years after closing. The impact is also made by volunteers such as Dick Searle at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and Mary Wright at the Kroger Classic, the 2002 PGA TOUR and Champions Tour Volunteers of the Year, respectively. Searle has served at the Pebble Beach tournament for almost 60 years, following in his father’s footsteps as a volunteer. Wright has donated her efforts for more than 20 years coordinating volunteers at professional golf events in the Cincinnati
area, including the Kroger Classic since its 1990 inception. Tournaments make a great contribution in this area also, led by the EDS Byron Nelson Championship on the PGA TOUR, the BMW Charity Pro-Am at The Cliffs on the Nationwide Tour and the Toshiba Senior Classic and 3M Championship on the Champions Tour, which provided the largest donations to charity in 2003. “Giving back to the communities in which our events are held is at the heart of the PGA TOUR,” PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem said. “It reflects directly on a number of entities, namely tournaments, sponsors, players, volunteers and communities, all working together toward a common goal. Charity is what drives and motivates those involved to make the commitments and sacrifices they do. “In addition, the individual players add charity dollars at their own charity events and contribute significantly to the overall mix.” Players enthusiastically reach out to help the needy through charitable efforts in their own home communities. Tom Watson served as a great example in 2003, helping to raise approximately $3 million to support friend and caddie Bruce Edwards in his fight against ALS, including donating the $1-million annuity from winning the Champions Tour’s Charles Schwab Cup to the cause. Watson also was honored with the Card Walker Award, which recognizes a player’s contribution to junior golf, for his work with young golfers in his hometown of Kansas City. Since the first donation of $10,000 by the Palm Beach Invitational in 1938, the combined charitable effort from all three Tours has reached more than $800 million. All three Tours contributed in excess of $70 million to charity in 2003.
In the communities where tournaments take place, giving back remains at the heart of the PGA TOUR.

Georgia-Pacific Grand Champions Georgia-Pacific, the “Official Forest Products Provider for the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour, enters its sixth year as title sponsor of the Grand Champions program. In 2004, Grand Champions events will be held at 12 Champions Tour tournaments. The Georgia-Pacific Grand Champions competition is open to players 60 years of age and older who are entered in the full-field Champions Tour event. Scores posted during the first two rounds of the event (Friday and Saturday) determine the winner of this “tournament within a tournament,” with the exception of the season ending Georgia-Pacific Grand Champions Championship, where the first three rounds of the four-round Charles Schwab Cup Championship count toward the title. The Grand Champions compete for weekly purses of $175,000, with $30,000 going to the winner. Each Grand Champions event is preceded by a Thursday pro-am, where Georgia-Pacific guests have the opportunity to play a round of golf with these legendary professionals. Past and present Grand Champions participants include Miller Barber, Billy Casper, Bob Charles, Jim Colbert, Raymond Floyd, Gene Littler, Gary Player, Dave Stockton and Lee Trevino. Don January is the all-time leader with 35 Grand Champions victories. Tom Wargo won the 2003 money title, with $219,313 in earnings and two titles. Isao Aoki, who finished second, won the most titles (three). Other two-time winners included Charles and Mike Hill, and single winners Dale Douglass, J.C. Snead and Stockton. While Grand Champions earnings do not count toward the Champions Tour official money list, players also are eligible to collect official prize
money for their finishes in the regular tournament. A player has won the Grand Champions event and the regular tournament in the same week six times, most recently at the 2002 Greater Baltimore Classic, when Snead snapped a seven-year winless streak. The season-ending Georgia-Pacific Grand Champions Championship will be held in conjunction with the Charles Schwab Cup Championship (Oct. 18-24). The purse at the Grand Champions Championship is $400,000. The top 16 players on the Grand Champions money list heading into the event are eligible to compete.

The First Tee The First Tee is a World Golf Foundation initiative introduced in November of 1997 for the purpose of providing affordable golf access to everyone, especially children, who otherwise may not have the opportunity to play the game. Over the past six years, The First Tee has evolved into a credible youth initiative where participants are positively influenced through exposure to important values and life skills while learning and playing the game of golf. The First Tee Life Skills & Golf Experience is a program based on a set of Nine Core Values and developed around a curriculum that seamlessly incorporates life skills, such as goal setting, self discipline and self awareness, into each session. Children learn about themselves and others through exercises that teach lessons and skills that can be used both on and off the golf course. Much of The First Tee’s success is directly attributed to the support and guidance of five leading golf institutions in America that are The First Tee Founding Partners—the PGA TOUR, PGA of America, Ladies Professional Golf Association, United States Golf Association and Augusta National Golf Club. The support of these organizations, along with various individuals, associations, corporations, cities, counties and states, has helped The First Tee to develop facilities and programs where The First Tee Life Skills & Golf Experience can be delivered in communities across the country.
The First Tee is well on its way to achieving these objectives and looking forward to the next phase of a very bright and exciting future. The First Tee is grateful for the extraordinary commitment of the Chapter volunteers and staff combined with the local businesses and political leaders in each community who have embraced it. For more information about The First Tee and how you might become involved, please visit www.thefirsttee.org.
Building upon the accomplishment of achieving its initial goal of over 100 facilities in development by the end of the year 2000, The First Tee has set out to fulfill several new objectives by the end of 2005, which include: • Introducing the game of golf and its values to 500,000 young people • Expanding the number of dedicated The First Tee facilities to 250 that are either open or in development
The First Tee, led by Executive Director Joe Louis Barrow, continues to introduce golf to kids.
• Establishing 500 affiliate relationships with existing golf courses or other golf facilities that will provide access to The First Tee Experience 9-4 / 2004 Champions Tour Media Guide

In November 2000, senior members of the golf industry came together at World Golf Village for a conference called Golf 20/20: Vison for the Future, and embarked on an unprecedented collaborative effort to enhance the future of the game. The spirit of unity was so strong, and the commitment to make a difference so universal, that the decision was made to address some very specific issues and to make GOLF 20/20 an ongoing industry effort. GOLF 20/20 is a World Golf Foundation initiative that was started with the following stated mission: To align the golf industry behind a plan that addresses the future of golf in a strategic manner, with an emphasis on accelerating growth and participation, and creating new avenues of access into the game. The focus of the conference was not only on participation but also on interest, and three major targets were established with the goal of fulfilling them by the year 2020: • Golf would be at a level of popularity in the United States equal to the National Football League. • There would be 55 million participants in golf in the U.S. • There would be one billion rounds of golf played each year. Over the past several years a number of research projects have been undertaken, several communications initiatives started, and a variety of programs tested or implemented. The main areas of focus for GOLF 20/20 include the following: Adult Player Development—The goal of 20/20's adult player development activities is to introduce new adult players into the game, bring former players back to the game, and encourage greater levels of play by infrequent golfers. At the 2003 conference the PGA of America announced an umbrella concept called Play Golf America, under which the industry's major adult development initiatives will fall. This effort will commence in the spring of 2004 and receive unprecedented support from all areas of the golf industry. Junior Golf—The USGA and its Foundation have overseen GOLF 20/20’s efforts in junior golf, most notably the establishment of the ultimate junior golf Web site, juniorlinks.com, which includes a database of junior programs around the country. The Web site is a resource for youngsters, their parents and for junior golf program administrators. In 2003, GOLF 20/20 focused on developing a National School Golf Program, which will be tested in 150 elementary
schools in eight locations during the 2003-2004 school year. In 2003-2004 GOLF 20/20 is testing a school program through which physical educators teach the game in elementary school as part of a PE curriculum. This program will be aggressively expanded in the future. Communication—In 2002 an industry Web site was established at www.golf2020.com; it houses all 20/20 research, reports and databases. In 2002, GOLF 20/20 presented its first Industry Report, a global look at the state of the game. Research—To supplement existing information GOLF 20/20 commissioned in 2001 an unprecedented study of segments within the game, information that was instrumental in formulating strategies. In 2002, two other studies were commissioned. The first revealed that golf is responsible for more than 3.2 billion dollars being generated for charities in the U.S. each year. The second estimated the total golf economy in this country to be more than $60 billion annually. In 2003 major research studies were done on frequency of play, and on minority participation in golf. All research information is available at golf2020.com. In its first three years the GOLF 20/20 Executive Board consisted of seven people, six of them representing associations. In an effort to bring more business diversity to the Board, it has been expanded to include 15 members. The new Executive Board includes: Jim Awtrey, CEO, PGA of America Joe Louis Barrow, Executive Director, The First Tee Bob Dedman, Jr., Chairman and CEO, ClubCorp Ron Drapeau, CEO, Callaway David Fay, Executive Director, United States Golf Association Tim Finchem, Commissioner, PGA TOUR Michael Hughes, Executive Director, National Golf Course Owners Association Sara Hume, Executive Director, Executive Women’s Golf Association David Manougian, COO, The Golf Channel Steve Mona, CEO, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America Jim Nugent, Vice President and Publisher, GolfWeek David Pillsbury, President, American Golf Company Phil Tralies, CEO, Club Car Wally Uihlein, President and CEO, Acushnet Ty Votaw, Commissioner, LPGA

ShotLink The PGA TOUR has collaborated with IBM, the TOUR’s Official Worldwide Information Technology Partner, on the PGA TOUR ShotLink System. The ShotLink System is a revolutionary platform for collecting and disseminating scoring and statistical data on every shot by every player in real-time during every tournament round. The development of ShotLink started in 1997 when the TOUR decided to update its current scoring system, which was based on 1987 technology. The TOUR, in conjunction with IBM, conducted an extensive review process to formulate its strategy for the development and implementation of ShotLink. Following an evaluation of more than 30 companies, additional technology and implementation partners were identified: Information and Display Systems (IDS), Palm, Electronic Arts, Daktronics and two mapping vendors: GeoGolf and Geodetic Services. IBM provided overall project management, consulting services and server and networking technologies. ShotLink was introduced during the 2001 Buick Classic and represents the TOUR’s scoring system for the future. The accumulation, packaging and presentation of expanded shot and course information provides the basis for numerous fan enhancements. Current uses of ShotLink data include: • Enhanced graphics and statistics in television broadcasts
W W W. P G AT O U R . C O M
• Expanded information and statistics for use by media • Powering on-site and PGATOUR.COM tournament leaderboards • Providing on-site media and hospitality access to live tournament information through Tournament Tracker, developed by IBM • Powering PGA TOUR Mobile Link, the PGA TOUR’s wireless application for use on PDAs and cell phones (available on PGATOUR.COM) • Powering the exclusive AT&T Wireless #121 golf service • Powering the TOURCast application on PGATOUR.COM, which launched in 2003 In addition to current uses, ShotLink provides unlimited potential to develop fan enhancements and products over the next several years, including: • Enhanced and interactive television • On-site wireless and kiosk applications for tournament patrons • Internet, PC and console games Besides fan enhancements, ShotLink creates an ongoing historical archive of statistical information. This information is available to players through the PGA TOUR Links program, also built by IBM. The ShotLink data is collected by volunteers utilizing a combination of Palm handheld devices and laser range finders.

Tournament Players Clubs The PGA TOUR’s Tournament Players Club network has maintained a reputation for operating high-quality clubs since its inception 24 years ago. The TPC network continues to grow, with more than 30 facilities currently open or under construction, including several overseas. TPCs encompass all forms of golfrelated operations—resort facilities, corporate/private membership clubs and daily fee courses—and, as such, PGA TOUR Golf Course Properties, Inc. is able to match the type of facility with the demands of each market in which a club operates. The network represents the highest standard in the golf course industry, commensurate with the members of the organization it represents, the players of the PGA TOUR. Each Tournament Players Club embodies the trademark of excellence first established with the flagship TPC at Sawgrass, which opened its world-famous Stadium Course in the fall of 1980 in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. This commitment to overall excellence serves as the foundation for the network’s overall success. The TPC network was born through former PGA TOUR Commissioner Deane Beman’s desire to provide TOUR players with quality golf courses that also would offer spectators enhanced viewing areas. Beman also reasoned that development of quality facilities would alleviate the TOUR’s dependency
on the television dollar, while providing rent-free venues for tournaments. The savings in rent, in turn, would generate both increased purses and greater charitable contributions by the tournaments held at TPCs. The TPC at Sawgrass was the first Tournament Players Club to hold a PGA TOUR event, becoming the permanent home of THE PLAYERS Championship in 1982. In 2003, 15 tournaments were conducted on TPC courses, bringing the total number of PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour events held at TPC facilities to 220. Many of the top golf course architects are connected with Tournament Players Club projects, including Pete Dye, Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arthur Hills, Jay Morrish, Tom Weiskopf, Greg Norman, Bob Von Hagge and D.A. Weibring. The Tournament Players Club of Boston, which opened in 2002, was the fourth TPC course designed by Palmer Course Design Co. Weiskopf has designed his second TPC course for the new Tournament Players Club at Craig Ranch near Dallas, TX, scheduled to open in the fall of 2004. Moreover, in recognizing the importance of player input for tournament courses, TOUR members have served as design consultants, working closely with the lead architect. Mark O’Meara, for instance, served as the player design consultant on the Tournament Players Club at Valencia (CA), which opened in June 2003, while Steve Elkington is the player consultant and Kelly Gibson the associate player consultant working with architect Pete Dye on the Tournament Players Club of Louisiana in New Orleans, scheduled to open in the spring.

Weather Guidelines Every effort will be made to finish each round as scheduled by Sunday. The first priority is always the competition and completion of 72 holes. In an effort to achieve this objective by Sunday, 36 holes may be played on Sunday following a reduction of the field to the score which has the closest number of professionals to 60. If an equal number of professionals are at scores above and below the 60th position, the higher score will be used. If conditions exist which prevent 72 holes from being completed by Sunday, play will always be extended to Monday if golf course conditions and the weather forecast permit. Play on Monday could include 36 holes. If conditions exist which make the completion of 72 holes impossible, the next priority is to complete 54 holes; thereby the winner is credited with an official victory. Again, play in this situation will always be extended to Monday if conditions and weather permit.
If conditions exist which make the completion of 54 holes impossible, the next priority is to complete 36 holes; thereby players receive official money, although the winner is credited with an unofficial victory. Again, play in this situation may be extended to Monday. In making decisions to extend play beyond Sunday or to reduce the tournament to fewer than 72 holes due to inclement weather, the on-site Tournament Director discusses the situation and conditions with a number of parties, including the host organization, title sponsor, host site (general manager and/or golf course superintendent), on-site weather forecaster, television representatives and the other members of the Rules Committee. Players typically have not been included in these discussions as the TOUR believes it is inappropriate for the Rules Committee to discuss matters directly affecting the competition with contestants.
World Golf Foundation World Golf Foundation, a not-forprofit, 501(c)3 organization, was created in 1994 to unite the golf industry and those who love the game. The board supports initiatives that promote, enhance the growth of, and provide access to the game of golf, while preserving golf’s traditional values and passing them on to others. There are four initiatives under the umbrella of the World Golf Foundation: the World Golf Hall of Fame, The First Tee, GOLF 20/20: Vision for the Future and the National Minority Golf Foundation. Each initiative has its own mission to enhance the game of golf’s history, present and future. World Golf Hall of Fame—Conceptualized in the late 1980s and open since 1998, it is committed to preserving golf’s rich heritage, honoring the great players and contributors to the sport and setting the stage for future generations to learn about and enjoy the game. Members are honored in the 75,000 squarefoot museum located at World Golf Village in St. Augustine, FL. The First Tee—Announced in November of 1997, The First Tee is dedicated to providing affordable access to golf and strives to instill in young people life-

enhancing values such as honesty, integrity, sportsmanship and respect. These values are seamlessly taught through The First Tee Life Skills & Golf Experience, one of the unique features that differentiates The First Tee from many other successful junior golf programs. The intent is to offer opportunities for improvement in the quality of life and create a platform where children can increase their potential for success. The First Tee partners with local not-forprofit entities and municipalities to form The First Tee Chapters, which are responsible for developing The First Tee golf learning facilities. Currently, there are more than 135 open facilities spanning 40 states and two continents, including programs in Canada and Singapore. GOLF 20/20: Vision for the Future—Initiated in 1999, it is devoted to aligning the golf industry behind a plan that addresses the future of golf in a strategic manner, with an emphasis on accelerating growth and participation and creating new avenues of access into the game. National Minority Golf Program—Coming under the World Golf Foundation umbrella in 2001, it is primarily focused on developing career opportunities in golf for minorities.

Open since 1998, the World Golf Hall of Fame is the ultimate destination for the celebration and recognition of golf’s greatest players and contributors and serves as an inspiration to golfers and golf fans worldwide. Supported by all of the world’s leading golf organizations, the Hall of Fame honors its members through a creative, interactive and compelling guest experience. The World Golf Hall of Fame is located at World Golf Village in St. Augustine, FL. The Members The 71 players and contributors inducted into the former Hall of Fame in Pinehurst, NC, and the LPGA Hall of Fame were “grandfathered” into the World Golf Hall of Fame at the first induction ceremony held at World Golf Village in May 1998. Nick Faldo and Johnny Miller were the first new players to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame, and Amy Alcott, Seve Ballesteros and Lloyd Mangrum entered in 1999. Beth Daniel, Juli Inkster and Judy Rankin were inducted as part of the 2000 induction ceremony, along with Deane Beman, Sir Michael Jack Peter Bonallack, Jack Burke Jr., John Jacobs and Neil Coles. Vice President and Donna Caponi, Karsten Solheim, Judy Bell, Allan Chief Operating Officer Robertson, Payne Stewart and Greg Norman were inducted in 2001 and were followed by Tommy Bolt, Ben World Golf Hall of Fame Crenshaw, Marlene Hagge, Tony Jacklin, Bernhard Langer and Harvey Penick in 2002. In 2003, Leo Diegel, Hisako “Chako” Higuchi, Nick Price and Annika Sorenstam were brought in, pushing the total number of inductees to 100.
The Museum The World Golf Hall of Fame includes memorabilia from its members as well as interactive exhibits and historical artifacts. In October of 2003, four new exhibits were unveiled to pay tribute to the Class of 2003, including the PGA TOUR’s Nick Price. The exhibits follow the lives and careers of the most recent inductees through memorabilia and photos. The museum also includes a life-size replica of the famous Swilcan Burn Bridge, an artificial 1880s-style putting green, with a hickory-shafted putter and gutta-percha ball from the era, and a state-of-the-art golf simulator, which allows guests to experience any one of more than 40 famous courses found around the world. The experience is never the same, with the museum’s Wachovia Gallery featuring a new exhibit each year. Guests visiting the Hall of Fame have the opportunity to take a fascinating one-hour behind-the-scenes tour with one of its knowledgeable volunteers. Visitors wishing to tour at their own pace can use a hand-held Acoustiguide®, with self-guided tours available in five languages. Education As part of its mission to be an inspiration to golfers and fans throughout the world, the World Golf Hall of Fame offers several initiatives to educate and connect children with the game. Three programs, sponsored by Shell Oil Company, are offered to teach children about various principles involved in the game: “Science of Golf,” “Great Scot! Who Thought Up This Game Anyway?” and “The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side.” The fourth program, “Community Field Trip Fund,” was established to provide area schools and children’s charities the opportunity to see educational films at the World Golf Hall of Fame’s IMAX® Theater. As sole founding partner of World Golf Hall of Fame, Shell Oil Company provides financial support to the World Golf Foundation and supports its charitable initiatives aimed at introducing golf to young people, thereby promoting scholastic achievement, community service and those values intrinsic to the game of golf.

Tommy Armour (1976) A native of Edinburgh, the “Silver Scot” won the 1927 U.S. Western Open, the 1930 PGA Championship and the 1931 British Open. One of golf’s most respected instructors, Armour excelled despite injuries suffered in World War I that left him with one eye and with metal plates in his head and arm.
Jimmy Demaret (1983) With a personality as colorful as his wardrobe, Demaret was one of golf’s most popular figures for four decades. The Texas native once quit professional golf to become a nightclub singer but returned in 1938 and won the 1940 Masters. After serving in the Navy during World War II, he won the Masters in 1947 and 1950.
Jim Barnes (1989) An assistant pro in England at age 15, Barnes came to America at 19, and between 1916 and 1925 won all the major tournaments of his day: the Western Open in 1914, 1917 and 1919; the first two PGA Championships in 1916 and 1919; the 1921 U.S. Open; and the 1925 British Open. Deane Beman (2000) Commissioner of the PGA TOUR from 1974-1994, he created the Champions Tour, the Nationwide Tour and developed the “stadium golf” concept.

Tommy Bolt (2002) Bolt was best known for his impeccable ball striking, colorful personality, stylish clothes and occasional temper tantrums. He did not join the U.S. tour until 1950 when he was 32. Bolt won the U.S. Open at age 40 and captured 15 TOUR titles. He was a founding member of the Champions Tour. Julius Boros (1982) An accountant by trade, Boros turned professional at age 30. Just two years later, in 1952, he won the U.S. Open and was named PGA Player of the Year. He claimed a second U.S. Open in 1963 at The Country Club in Brookline, MA, and in 1968 captured the PGA Championship at age 48. Jack Burke, Jr. (2000) A member of five U.S. Ryder Cup teams, serving as captain twice, Burke captured 15 PGA TOUR titles, including the 1956 Masters Tournament and 1956 PGA Championship. He won four consecutive tournaments in 1952. Burke is co-founder and president of the Champions Club in Houston, TX. Billy Casper (1978) A brilliant putter, Casper won the Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average five times and was a member of eight Ryder Cup teams. Of his 60 career victories, three were major championships, including the 1966 U.S. Open, when he came from seven strokes back with nine holes to play to tie Arnold Palmer, then won their playoff. Harry Cooper (1992) Known as “Lighthorse Harry” for the speed at which he played, Cooper won more than 30 professional tournaments between 1926 and 1942. He was never able to capture a major championship, finishing second on three occasions. In 1937, he won nine tournaments and was the first winner of the Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average. Fred Corcoran (1975) As tournament manager of the PGA of America from 1936 to 1947, Corcoran more than doubled the number of tour events. Working with Babe Zaharias and Patty Berg, and with financial support from Wilson, he was instrumental in forming the LPGA Tour in 1949. Also a promoter and agent, he founded the Golf Writers Association of America in 1946. Ben Crenshaw (2002) With one of the best putting strokes of all time, Crenshaw won 19 times on the PGA TOUR, including the Masters twice. He was on the 1971 and 1972 NCAA championship teams at the University of Texas and won three straight individual NCAA crowns. Crenshaw also has participated on four Ryder Cup teams and in 1999 captained the U.S. Ryder Cup team. W W W. P G AT O U R . C O M
Joseph C. Dey (1975) Golf’s most respected administrator, Dey was named Executive Secretary of the USGA in 1934, a position he held for 34 years. As the first commissioner of what became the PGA TOUR, he guided the tournament players in their split from the PGA of America. In 1975 he became the second American to captain the Royal and Ancient. Leo Diegel (2003) A native of Detroit, MI, Diegel won consecutive PGA Championships in 1928 and 1929. In total, he won 31 PGA TOUR events during his career, including four Canadian Opens. Diegel was a member of the first four U.S. Ryder Cup teams between 1927 and 1933. After retiring in 1935 due to a hand injury, Diegel became a respected teacher. Nick Faldo (1997) In 20 years, Faldo has won more than 40 tournaments worldwide, including three British Opens and three Masters Tournaments, and competed on 11 European Ryder Cup Teams. In 1990, Faldo was the first international player to be named PGA of America Player of the Year. Raymond Floyd (1989) With the 1969 and 1982 PGA Championships and the 1976 Masters Tournament to his credit, Floyd was already a player of renown when he won his fourth major championship title. In 1986, at age 43, he captured the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. His steely competitiveness carried over to a successful career on the Champions Tour. Ralph Guldahl (1981) In 1938, Guldahl quit tournament golf in frustration to sell cars in Dallas. He returned one year later and, with victories at Oakland Hills in 1937 and Cherry Hills in 1938, became one of the few players to capture consecutive U.S. Open titles. He also won three consecutive Western Opens and the 1939 Masters Tournament. Walter Hagen (1974) Flamboyant and charismatic, Hagen was the first professional to make a living playing golf, rather than teaching it. Wild off the tee, but superb at recovery, his fame mirrored his lifestyle. Captain of the first six American Ryder Cup teams, he won two U.S. Opens, four British Opens and five PGA Championships, including four consecutively. Bob Harlow (1988) Harlow, a newspaperman from Massachusetts, was best known as the founder of Golf World. As manager for Walter Hagen from 1921 to 1929, and later for Joe Kirkwood, he arranged exhibitions both nationally and abroad. From 1930 to 1935, he served as tournament manager for the PGA of America. Ben Hogan (1974) Hogan was legendary for his intensity and dedication to perfection. Having already claimed two PGA Championships and the U.S. Open by 1948, he suffered a life-threatening auto accident in 1949. Miraculously, he returned to win the U.S. Open in 1950, 1951 and 1953; the Masters Tournament in 1951 and 1953; and the 1953 British Open.

World Golf Hall of Fame PGA TOUR Pioneers/Members (cont.) Hale Irwin (1992) An All-American in golf and All-Conference in football at the University of Colorado, Irwin won the 1967 NCAA Golf Championship. Between 1974 and 1990, he captured three U.S. Open titles, the last at age 45 in a 19-hole playoff. After 1995, he devoted himself to golf course design and the Champions Tour. Tony Jacklin (2002) In 1969, Tony Jacklin became the first British player in 18 years to win the British Open. He followed that with the 1970 U.S. Open title, the first victory in that tournament by a British player in 50 years. Jacklin may be best remembered as Captain of the victorious European Ryder Cup teams in 1985, 1987 and 1989. Bernhard Langer (2002) Langer is the most accomplished golfer in German history. He accumulated more than 50 worldwide victories and won the Masters twice. Langer competed for Europe in 10 Ryder Cup competitions and amassed one of the best records for the European Team. Lawson Little (1980) Stocky and powerful, but renowned for his short game, Little’s greatest achievements came as an amateur. In 1934 and 1935, he captured the “Little Slam,” winning both the U.S. and British Amateur Championships. After turning professional in 1936, he won seven events, most notably the 1940 U.S. Open in a playoff with Gene Sarazen. Gene Littler (1990) Littler’s first PGA TOUR win came in 1954 as an amateur. His last was in 1977 at age 47. He won the U.S. Amateur in 1953 and the U.S. Open in 1961, but lost both the Masters Tournament and the PGA Championship in playoffs. Littler amassed a total of 29 career PGA TOUR victories. Lloyd Mangrum (1998) Known as a tough competitor with an aggressive style of play, Mangrum competed in an era that also included Hall of Famers Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Jimmy Demaret and Sam Snead. He counted the 1946 U.S. Open among his 36 career victories. Cary Middlecoff (1986) After becoming the first amateur to win the North and South Open, Dr. Middlecoff abandoned a career in dentistry and turned professional in 1947. A brilliant analyst of the game and the golf swing, he won the U.S. Open in 1949 and 1956 and the Masters Tournament in 1955. He retired with 37 career victories. Johnny Miller (1996) Miller dominated international golf in the early 1970s, winning 20 tournaments in six years. A remarkable 63 in the final round secured his victory in the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont. Winner of the 1976 British Open at Royal Birkdale, Miller gained renown as a television commentator. Byron Nelson (1974) “Lord Byron” won two Masters Tournaments, two PGA Championships and the 1939 U.S. Open. He is best remembered for his 1945 season, when he won 19 tournaments, including 11 consecutively, finished second seven times and compiled a remarkable stroke average of 68.33. In 1947, at age 34, Nelson retired to his ranch in Texas. Jack Nicklaus (1974) The legendary Bobby Jones said of him: “He plays a game with which I am not familiar.” In his monumental career, Nicklaus amassed 18 professional major championship victories, far surpassing any golfer before or since. With more than 100 victories around the world, “The Golden Bear” is arguably the best golfer of the modern era. Greg Norman (2001) The “Great White Shark” won the 1986 and 1993 British Opens in a professional career that has produced some 90 victories worldwide, including 20 PGA TOUR titles. He captured the Arnold Palmer Award as the TOUR’s leading money-winner in 1986, 1990 and 1995. He won the 1994 PLAYERS Championship with a record 24-under-par total. 9-14 / 2004 Champions Tour Media Guide
Arnold Palmer (1974) The most charismatic player in history, Palmer’s emergence in the late 1950s coincided with televised golf to generate unprecedented interest in the game. Palmer won the U.S. Amateur in 1954 and the U.S. Open in 1960. Also among the more than 80 professional victories he collected were four Masters Tournaments, two British Opens and five major championships on the Champions Tour. Gary Player (1974) This South African made up for his diminutive size with a rigorous schedule of fitness training and persistent practice unequaled in golf. His career victories numbered more than 120 worldwide and included all four major championships. Player found later success as a dominant force on the Champions Tour. Nick Price (2003) One of the more dominant players of the 1990s, winning two PGA Championships (1992, 1994) and a British Open (1994) among his 16 PGA TOUR victories in that decade, and 18 total. The South African, winner of more than 40 titles worldwide, is also a two-time PGA TOUR Player of the Year (1993, 1994) and a two-time Vardon Trophy winner (1993, 1997). Chi Chi Rodriguez (1992) Rodriguez won eight PGA TOUR events and collected more than 20 Champions Tour titles in his career. But it is his charitable work that will be best remembered. His pro-am tournament helped fund the Children’s Hospital in his native Puerto Rico, and his Youth Foundation has raised millions for disadvantaged children in Florida. Paul Runyan (1990) Although one of the shortest hitters of his time, Runyan won more than 50 professional tournaments. After joining the tour in 1933, he captured 16 events in two years and was leading money-winner in 1933 and 1934. A highly regarded short game and putting instructor, he won the PGA Championship twice, in 1934 and 1938. Gene Sarazen (1974) Sarazen was the first golfer to win all four major championships. He won the U.S. Open in 1922 and 1932: the PGA in 1922, 1923, and 1933; and the British Open in 1932. But his victory in the 1935 Masters Tournament is best remembered for a remarkable final-round double-eagle on the 15th hole at Augusta National. Horton Smith (1990) In 1929, at age 21, Smith played in 19 professional events, winning eight and finishing second four times. He remained a top professional throughout the 1930s, winning the first and third Masters Tournaments in 1934 and 1936. His last tournament win came in 1941, the year before he left golf to join the army. Sam Snead (1974) “Slammin’ Sam” is renowned for his classical swing and the longevity of his career. The winner of three PGA Championships, three Masters Tournaments and the British Open, he made eight Ryder Cup appearances and was captain of the U.S. Team three times. Snead recorded 82 TOUR victories, his last in 1965 at age 52. Payne Stewart (2001) Before his tragic death in a 1999 plane crash, Stewart had won 18 tournaments around the world, including three major championship titles: 1989 PGA Championship, 1991 and 1999 U.S. Open. While known for his trademark knickers and tam o’shanter cap, his love for the game and passion with which he played made him one of the most respected players of his time. Peter Thomson (1988) One of the most intriguing players the game has known, the Australian-born Thomson captured five British Open titles between 1954 and 1965, including three consecutively from 1954 to 1956. With wide interests that ranged from politics to music, Thomson maintained successful careers as a writer and golf course architect outside of competition.

Lee Trevino (1981) The ultimate self-made champion, Trevino made the transition from assistant professional at a Texas driving range to U.S. Open champion. He captured that title twice, in 1968 and 1971. With two British Opens, two PGA Championships and six Ryder Cup appearances to his credit, he later had a dominant career on the Champions Tour.
Tom Watson (1988) Watson’s major championship victories include five British Opens and two Masters Tournaments. His victory in the 1982 U.S. Open featured a dramatic chip-in on the 17th hole at Pebble Beach. Arguably the most consistent player for a decade, he was the PGA TOUR’s leading money-winner and Player of the Year four consecutive times from 1977 to 1980.
World Golf Village World Golf Village is a 6,300-acre golf resort and residential community located 10 minutes northwest of historic St. Augustine, FL, and 30 minutes south of Jacksonville. Named one of the “Top 75 Golf Resorts” in the United States by Golf Digest, World Golf Village draws guests from all over the United States and from around the world, offering a wide variety of recreational, entertainment, corporate meeting and residential options. The centerpiece of the Village is the World Golf Hall of Fame, a sports museum that pays tribute to the greatest players and contributors of the game. The World Golf Hall of Fame features memorabilia from its members, as well as historical and interactive exhibits that enable visitors to see and experience some of golf’s most exciting elements from the sport’s infancy in Scotland to the present day. Adjacent to the museum is the World Golf Hall of Fame IMAX® Theater, offering a variety of films that are both educational and entertaining on an 80foot-wide-by-6-story-high screen. Along the Hall of Fame’s Walk of Champions, a half-mile track built with more than 100,000 bricks that may be purchased by visitors through the Commemorative Brick Program, guests can attempt to hit a ball 132 yards to the Challenge Hole’s island green or play a round on the 18-hole, real-grass putting course. Encompassing nearly 400 acres, the World Golf Village championship golf courses include the King & Bear, the first course co-designed by World Golf Hall of Fame members Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, and the Slammer & Squire, built by Bobby Weed, with design consultants and World Golf Hall of Fame members Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen. Both courses, which have hosted 10 nationally televised broadcasts, combine challenging obstacles with playability for all levels of golfers. The PGA TOUR Golf Academy opened in January 2002. Top-rated instructors, including Director of Instruction Scott Sackett, a Golf top 100 teacher, and resident PGA TOUR instructor Calvin Peete, a 12-time PGA TOUR winner, incorporate three teaching and video analysis systems into the lessons. Set to open in the winter of 2004 the Spa at Laterra will be the first-ever PGA TOUR Spa. The world-class, full-service spa will be located in the King & Bear at World Golf Village as part of the Laterra resort community. Dining options include the Murray brothers’ Caddyshack, the flagship restaurant of actor-golfer Bill Murray and his five brothers, and Sam Snead’s Tavern, loaded with memorabilia from Snead’s life.
