On behalf of the players, tournaments, volunteers and our management staff, welcome to another exciting season of <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> competition. We appreciate your dedicated and professional coverage of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> and your help in bringing the stories<br />
of these talented athletes to life for millions of fans around the globe.<br />
Last year began a landmark era for the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> with the debut of the FedExCup. The sport’s new season-long competition<br />
accomplished everything we envisioned, providing a strong, compelling conclusion to the golf season with our first-ever <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
Playoffs for the FedExCup.<br />
Now that we’ve established a solid foundation, we will continue our efforts to build upon the enthusiasm our players and fans<br />
have demonstrated for the FedExCup. While there have been no fundamental changes to the overall structure of the competition for<br />
2008, the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>’s Policy Board will continue to assess the point structure for the seeding and Playoffs, with a focus on creating<br />
more volatility and keeping more players in contention for the FedExCup at the finale, THE <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship presented by<br />
Coca-Cola. Changes are possible prior to this year’s Playoffs.<br />
This year’s <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> schedule features 48 official events that offer an all-time high of $278 million in official prize money.<br />
We have new title sponsors with the Northern Trust Open (in Los Angeles), RBC Canadian Open, Legends Reno-Tahoe Open and<br />
Justin Timberlake joining the elite roster of celebrities to host <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> events with the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for<br />
Children Open. Also, the Puerto Rico Open presented by Banco Popular is a new addition to the <strong>TOUR</strong> schedule. We welcome these<br />
new sponsors and events to the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> family.<br />
Inside the ropes, the 2007 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> season provided compelling competition, particularly during the Playoffs. From the feelgood<br />
story of Steve Stricker capturing the first of the four Playoff events, The Barclays, to Phil Mickelson dueling Tiger Woods down<br />
the stretch to capture the Deutsche Bank Championship, to Woods’ victories at the BMW Championship and THE <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
Championship to claim the inaugural FedExCup, there was excitement at every event.<br />
Additionally, fans who attended the 2007 PLAYERS Championship were treated to the upgrades to The PLAYERS Stadium<br />
Course, a new state-of-the-art clubhouse and numerous fan enhancements, while Mickelson captured this coveted title for the first<br />
time. The Presidents Cup in Canada was one of best in the event’s history, and the inaugural Fall Series re-energized the careers of<br />
several players with world-class resumes, including Justin Leonard (Valero Texas Open), Chad Campbell (Viking Classic), Steve<br />
Flesch (Turning Stone Resort Championship) and Mike Weir (Fry’s Electronics Open).<br />
On the Champions Tour, the marquee names continued to win and entertain record crowds, from World Golf Hall of Fame member<br />
Hale Irwin earning his 45th Champions Tour victory at the first event of the season, to Jim Thorpe successfully defending his<br />
title at the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Loren Roberts avenged his 20-point loss of the 2006 Charles Schwab<br />
Cup by capturing the season-long points title in 2007, nipping Player of the Year Jay Haas. The season included an impressive list<br />
of first-time and multiple winners, recognizable rookies and culminated with the induction of Curtis Strange and Hubert Green into<br />
the World Golf Hall of Fame.<br />
The Nationwide Tour continued to elevate its stature. Richard Johnson of Wales captured the money title with his win in the<br />
season finale. Australian Nick Flanagan, the Player of the Year, became the eighth player and first international member to earn a<br />
three-win promotion to the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, while Daniel Summerhays became the first amateur to capture a Nationwide Tour title.<br />
Jason Day, at 19, became the youngest winner in Tour history. “The 25” graduates transitioning to the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> in 2008 promise<br />
to have an impact, similar to many of the Nationwide Tour alumni who preceded them. Through 2007, Nationwide Tour alumni have<br />
won 217 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> titles, including 21 last year.<br />
The <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> is on track to reach our second billion in charitable donations within the next five to seven years. Our appreciation<br />
and congratulations go out to the tournaments, players, sponsors and thousands of volunteers who are helping to make this<br />
goal a reality.<br />
Thank you again for your coverage of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>. If you have questions or concerns, our communications team on site at<br />
tournament media centers or at our headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, will be happy to assist.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
A Message to the <strong>Media</strong><br />

Overview:<br />
The <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> is a tax-exempt membership organization of professional<br />
golfers. The inaugural season-long FedExCup competition began last year at<br />
Kapalua and culminated with Tiger Woods winning the FedExCup Trophy at<br />
East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The four-week <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the<br />
FedExCup not only offered compelling golf, but also many great story lines –<br />
from Steve Stricker’s emotional return to the winner’s circle to Tiger Woods<br />
and Phil Mickelson battling down the stretch.<br />
The mission of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> is to expand domestically and internationally so<br />
as to substantially increase player financial benefits while maintaining its<br />
commitment to growth in charity and the integrity of the game. In addition to<br />
providing competitive opportunities for its membership, <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> events<br />
also generate revenue for charitable causes in their communities.<br />
2008 Schedule (48 official events):<br />
1. FedExCup Regular Season – 37 events<br />
2. <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs – 4 events<br />
3. Fall Series – 7 events<br />
The <strong>TOUR</strong> plays in 22 states plus Canada, Mexico, England and Puerto Rico.<br />
Major Championships (4):<br />
Masters Tournament, British Open, U.S. Open, <strong>PGA</strong> Championship<br />
Prize Money:<br />
Approximately $278 million – Official (48 events)<br />
Bonus Money for the FedExCup:<br />
$10 million for first place, $3 million for second, $2 million for third, $1.5 million<br />
for fourth and $1 million for fifth.<br />
Charity:<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour events have donated more<br />
than $1.2 billion to charity since 1938. The <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> reached the $1-billion<br />
milestone at the 2005 Chrysler Championship. Whereas the first billion was<br />
reached after 67 years, the second billion is expected to be achieved within<br />
the next five to seven years.<br />

<strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.COM
Overview<br />
The <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> entered a new era in golf in 2007 with the introduction of the<br />
FedExCup, a season-long points competition culminating with the first-ever<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup.<br />
Tiger Woods, the world’s top-ranked player, led through the Regular Season<br />
and then won the final two events in the Playoffs – the BMW Championship<br />
and THE <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship presented by Coca-Cola – to capture the first<br />
FedExCup. Steve Stricker, who won the first Playoff event, The Barclays, placed<br />
second. Phil Mickelson, who won the second Playoff event, the Deutsche Bank<br />
Championship, finished third.<br />
Stricker led the standings after his victory in New York. Mickelson moved to the<br />
top the following week in Boston when he outdueled Woods in the final round<br />
to win by two strokes over Arron Oberholser, Brett Wetterich and Woods.<br />
Woods climbed back to first in Chicago the next week when he defeated Aaron<br />
Baddeley by two strokes. Woods sealed the FedExCup title the following week<br />
by shooting a <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship-record 23-under-par total. His 257 total was<br />
the third-best 72-hole total in <strong>TOUR</strong> history.<br />
2008 Changes<br />
Schedule: No changes were made to the first three weeks of the Playoffs. In<br />
deference to the 2008 Ryder Cup, THE <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship presented by Coca-<br />
Cola – the fourth and final Playoff event – was moved back two weeks so that<br />
it will be played immediately following the Ryder Cup this year (September 22-<br />
28). This move provides a one-week gap between the third Playoff event (the<br />
BMW Championship) and the Ryder Cup, so as not to adversely affect either<br />
the Ryder Cup or THE <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship. This gives those members of both<br />
the U.S. and European teams who will be competing in the Playoffs the ability<br />
to prepare for the Ryder Cup while also focusing on THE <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship<br />
the following week.<br />
As a consequence of the move, all Fall Series events will be moved back one<br />
week. This situation is unique to this year’s schedule and it is not anticipated<br />
that there will be a need to alter the Playoffs schedule beyond 2008. The tentative<br />
schedules for 2009-2012 have built-in gaps between THE <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
Championship and the corresponding team event, either The Presidents Cup or<br />
Ryder Cup.<br />
In evaluating the first year of the FedExCup, the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Policy Board did not<br />
feel the need to make fundamental changes to the overall structure of the competition.<br />
Accordingly, no changes have been made in the points distribution in<br />
the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season.<br />
FedExCup<br />
<strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.COM <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> 2008 Guide<br />
The 2008 FedExCup, to be played over 37 weeks, will again offer fans a competition<br />
to follow on a weekly basis. Players are rewarded for their season-long<br />
performance and ability to rise to the occasion in the Playoffs.<br />
”The FedExCup absolutely accomplished what we envisioned it would by ‘connecting’<br />
the season and providing a strong, compelling conclusion with our<br />
first-ever <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup,” <strong>TOUR</strong> Commissioner Tim<br />
Finchem said. “It delivered significant value to our players, sponsors and television<br />
partners and added something new and attractive to our fans.<br />
“Moreover, the four Playoff events delivered record television viewership at a<br />
time when sports fans historically have watched the start of the NCAA football<br />
season and NFL pre-season and opening games. We certainly saw a change in<br />
the tone of coverage as media and fan interest grew through the season and<br />
Playoffs, keeping the focus on our sport through mid-September, and ultimately<br />
delivering a fitting conclusion.”<br />
The new <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> schedule divides the golf season into two parts:<br />
1 FedExCup<br />
• <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season (33 weeks)<br />
• <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup (4 weeks)<br />
2 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Fall Series<br />
The Policy Board will continue to assess the point structure as it relates to the<br />
reseeding and points distribution throughout the Playoffs, in order to consider<br />
ways we might create more volatility and keep more players in contention for<br />
the FedExCup at THE <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship. We will be seeking more feedback<br />
from the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> membership between now and making a final determination<br />
on these matters at a February 2008 meeting.<br />
Compensation: The distribution of the $35-million FedExCup bonus pool will<br />
no longer be 100 percent deferred. Beginning in 2008, $16.5 million in cash will<br />
be paid to the top-10 finishers and the remaining $18.5 million will be paid on<br />
a tax-deferred basis into the Retirement Plans of the top 150 players. The maximum<br />
tax-deferred-payment amount will be $1 million to the winner of the<br />
FedExCup, who will also receive $9 million in cash, for a total first-place payout<br />
of $10 million.<br />
This decision, reached by the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Policy Board in November 2007, was<br />
part of a comprehensive evaluation that was conducted in regard to the payout<br />
structure of the FedExCup. This new formula is consistent with the earning projections<br />
previously provided to <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> members under the Retirement Plan.<br />

<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
The Regular Season will consist of 37 events in 33 weeks from the beginning<br />
of January at the Mercedes-Benz Championship in Hawaii through mid-<br />
August at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, NC. Points are<br />
awarded at four levels:<br />
• Official <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> events played during the Regular Season each award<br />
25,000 FedExCup points.<br />
• The Masters Tournament, THE PLAYERS Championship, U.S. Open,<br />
British Open and the <strong>PGA</strong> Championship award 27,500 FedExCup points<br />
(10 percent more).<br />
• World Golf Championships events award 26,250 FedExCup points (5 percent<br />
more).<br />
• Additional events (played opposite other tournaments) award 12,500<br />
FedExCup points. The Puerto Rico Open presented by Banco Popular is a<br />
new event in 2008 at this level.<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup<br />
The <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs consist of four events immediately following the<br />
Regular Season. Seeding will be determined by a points reset based on the<br />
players’ final Regular Season points standings. Each Playoff event offers<br />
50,000 points, double that of the Regular Season events. The field for the first<br />
event, The Barclays, will include the top 144 players. The second event, the<br />
Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston, will have a 120-player field. The third<br />
tournament, the BMW Championship in St. Louis, will have 70 players (with no<br />
cut). The finale, THE <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship presented by Coca-Cola in Atlanta,<br />
will be comprised of the top-30 qualifiers who will compete for the FedExCup<br />
with one to be crowned the FedExCup champion. Each tournament will have a<br />
$7-million purse in addition to the $35-million FedExCup bonus pool.<br />
Each player’s point total will include both reset points and points earned during<br />
the Playoff events.<br />
Note: Subject to change.<br />
Ties: Reset points will be distributed between the tying positions using the same methods for dealing<br />
with ties during events – the total points for each of the tying positions are divided equally among all<br />
players in the tying position.<br />
In the event that a player from the Season cannot or chooses not to play in the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for<br />
the FedExCup, there will be no alternates and the field will be shortened.<br />
1-12<br />
FedExCup<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> 2008 Guide<br />
Limited-field events played during the Regular Season will not redistribute the<br />
points for places that do not play. Those points are not awarded to the field and<br />
the total points distributed will be slightly less than the total points as defined<br />
above. For example, if the 2008 Mercedes-Benz Championship has a field of 30<br />
players, the points awarded will be based on the points that would be awarded<br />
to each individual position in a full-field event from positions 1 to 30.<br />
The Regular Season events will decide the seeding for the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong><br />

Other notes:<br />
• In all Regular Season events, points are distributed to all players earning official money with the exception of<br />
those who are not regular <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> members. Only players who are regular members as defined by <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
tournament regulations will be eligible to earn points. Special temporary members and amateurs will not be eligible<br />
to earn FedExCup points.<br />
• All players who are not regular <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> members but choose to join during the season will be eligible to earn<br />
points on a prospective basis. Points ARE NOT awarded retroactively. For example, if a non-member wins a<br />
Regular Season event and then chooses to join the membership, he will earn points for all events going forward<br />
in the season, but not for the event he just won.<br />
• Points will be awarded at official <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> FedExCup events. For example, the 2005 Nissan Open, which was<br />
shortened to 36 holes, is listed as an unofficial victory but awarded official money. This event would award<br />
FedExCup points.<br />

THE PLAYERS Championship and TPC Sawgrass<br />
OVERVIEW<br />
More than 25 years after its conception, the crown jewel of the TPC<br />
Network, THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, has been reborn.<br />
The work, completed in early 2007, was designed to enhance THE PLAYERS<br />
Championship as one of the world’s elite tournaments while elevating the TPC<br />
Sawgrass’ reputation as a world-class resort. The project included substantial<br />
improvements to THE PLAYERS Stadium and Dye’s Valley Courses as well as<br />
a new clubhouse and upgraded practice facilities.<br />
THE PLAYERS moved to May from its previous March date in 2007 to<br />
improve the FedExCup schedule’s overall spacing of marquee tournaments<br />
that bring all the world’s best players together.<br />

weekend during the NBC broadcast and in high definition.<br />
Also, an improved on-site fan experience includes a continuous, elevated<br />
walkway along holes 16, 17 and 18 instead of the previous path below, providing<br />
more fans with better sight lines; an enhanced tournament arrival corridor<br />
with a Walk of Fame, interactive exhibits by the Proud Partners and merchandise;<br />
a tented tournament village; fan hospitality at Nos. 5, 7, 9, 10 and 15;<br />
and additional kiosks, video screens and LED scoreboards.<br />
THE PLAYERS STADIUM COURSE<br />
The home course of THE PLAYERS is played under firm and fast conditions<br />
for the best players in the world as well as resort guests because of<br />
recent changes. New grasses on the fairways and greens and a state-of-theart<br />
drainage system completed in late 2006 created premium conditions that<br />
will be present year-round. There is no ryegrass overseeding during the winter<br />
months. In addition, minor competitive enhancements as well as extensive<br />
landscaping improvements make our world-class golf course even better.<br />
Input on alterations was received from architect Pete Dye; current and<br />
past champions; local players; design, rules, agronomic and executive staff;<br />
broadcast partners; and a cross-section of golf-industry experts.<br />
Approximately 30 players were interviewed for the project.<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> 2008 Guide<br />
Renovations included removing fairway topsoil and replacing it with<br />
fresh sand and extensive irrigation; rebuilding the greens using MiniVerde<br />
bermudagrass and installing a SubAir subsurface mechanical drainage system<br />
that vacuums water in wet conditions and injects air, if necessary; reducing<br />
some green slopes, renovating seven greenside bunkers and creating three<br />
fairway bunkers on No. 7; extending tees approximately 15-25 yards on Nos.<br />
1, 8, 11, 14, 16 and 18, enabling tournament officials the flexibility of lengthening<br />
the course by approximately 100 yards for the tournament, to just more<br />
than 7,100 yards; adding spectator seating at Nos. 17 and 18; planting of large<br />
live oaks and other “impact” trees in key locations and 100 large trees<br />
removed and later replanted throughout the property; and the practice facility’s<br />
range length was increased to 340 yards, a short-game area was created<br />
and a <strong>TOUR</strong> Golf Academy, with two covered hitting bays, was added on the<br />
far right side of the teeing area.<br />
STRUCTURES<br />
The new 77,000-square foot, Mediterranean Revival-style clubhouse<br />
was completed in time for the 2007 tournament. The old clubhouse was torn<br />
down after the 2006 PLAYERS and a new facility built in 13 months on the<br />
same site. The new clubhouse accommodates at least twice as many special<br />
events, houses historical artifacts about the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> and THE PLAYERS and<br />
is fronted by an 11,000 square-foot lawn where fans can gather. There are premium<br />
views of the ninth and 18th holes and a view down the first fairway.<br />
The adjacent Sawgrass Marriott Resort and Spa also underwent a multimillion-dollar<br />
refurbishment in late 2006/early 2007. The new ownership<br />
group, Ireland-based Redquartz Boundary, Ltd., and its investment partners<br />
purchased the facility with plans to make it a world-class resort destination.<br />

<strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.COM
It is not easy to pinpoint the exact beginning of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>. Certainly,<br />
professionals have competed against each other from the earliest days of the<br />
game in the United States.<br />
In 1895, 10 professional golfers and one amateur played in the first U.S.<br />
Open in Newport, RI. Shortly thereafter, tournaments began to pop up across<br />
the country, including the Western Open in 1899. But this was not “tour” golf.<br />
The events lacked continuity.<br />
Interest in the game, however, continued to grow. American professionals<br />
were rapidly improving. When John McDermott became the first<br />
American-born player to win the U.S. Open in 1911, interest in the game blossomed.<br />
That interest became enthusiasm in 1913 when Englishmen Harry<br />
Vardon and Ted Ray came to the United States to play an exhibition tour and<br />
compete in the U.S. Open. When 20-year-old amateur Francis Ouimet defeated<br />
the pair in a playoff for the Open at Brookline, MA, golf became front-page<br />
news and a game for everyone.<br />
In the early 1920s, a series of tournaments was held on the West Coast,<br />
in Texas and Florida. These events were held in the winter, and the golfers<br />
played their way east and up to Pinehurst, NC, in the spring. By the middle of<br />
the decade, the tour was doing relatively well—offering $77,000 in total prize<br />
money.<br />
The first “playing pros” organization was formed in 1932. Two years earlier,<br />
Bob Harlow had been named manager of the <strong>PGA</strong> Tournament Bureau.<br />
The tour became more structured following World War II and exploded in the<br />
late 1950s and early ’60s. When Arnold Palmer, televised golf and President<br />
Dwight D. Eisenhower arrived on the scene in the late 1950s, the eyes of the<br />
world were on golf. This exposure inspired millions to try the game.<br />
Most golf historians trace the “formal” beginning of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> to<br />
late 1968, when the “Tournament Players Division” split from the <strong>PGA</strong> of<br />
America and hired Joe Dey as its first commissioner. That organization<br />
became the modern-day <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>. Dey served from early 1969 through<br />
February 28, 1974, and was succeeded by Deane R. Beman on March 1, 1974.<br />
During Beman’s administration, the value of tournament purses escalated<br />
at an unprecedented rate. <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> assets grew from $730,000 in 1974<br />
to more than $200 million, and total revenues increased from $3.9 million to<br />
$229 million in 1993.<br />
Tim Finchem, previously the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s Deputy Commissioner and Chief<br />
Operating Officer, became the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s third commissioner on June 1, 1994. In<br />
1995, Finchem undertook a restructuring program designed to strengthen the<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>’s core business, which is its competitions, to expand the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s<br />
international scope and prepare it to enter the 21st century. In 1996, Finchem<br />
helped spearhead formation of the International Federation of <strong>PGA</strong> Tours, as<br />
golf’s five world-governing bodies laid the groundwork for taking competition<br />
into the next millennium. In 1997, the Federation announced the World Golf<br />
Championships, which made their debut in 1999 with three events—today<br />
called the Accenture Match Play Championship, Bridgestone Invitational and<br />
CA Championship. In 2007, the <strong>TOUR</strong> debuted the FedExCup.<br />
A Brief History of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
<strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.COM <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> 2008 Guide<br />
Since 1938, <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> events have donated more than $1.2 billion to<br />
charity, reaching the $1 billion milestone late in the 2005 season.<br />
The competitive scope of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> also is much broader today. The<br />
Champions Tour, entering its 28th season, has been labeled the most successful<br />
senior sports venture in history. Fans and television viewers are able<br />
to get closer to the game on this Tour, both on site and with instructional platforms.<br />
The Charles Schwab Cup will be contested for the eighth time in 2007.<br />
The Nationwide Tour, under that sponsorship umbrella for the sixth year,<br />
has been recognized as the “official proving ground” for the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> with<br />
its excellent level of play that saw 65 percent of its alumni making up the 2008<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>. The top 25 money winners earn their <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> cards for the following<br />
season. Among the former players on this Tour who have gone on to<br />
star on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> are David Duval, Tom Lehman, Jeff Maggert, Stuart<br />
Appleby, Stewart Cink, David Toms, 2003 U.S. Open winner Jim Furyk and<br />
2007 Masters champions Zach Johnson. Through 2007, 217 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> events<br />
have been won by former Nationwide Tour players.<br />
When the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> opened the TPC Sawgrass in 1980, it introduced the<br />
era of stadium golf and record-breaking attendance. Owned and/or operated by<br />
the <strong>TOUR</strong>, the TPC Network courses are the only major-league sports venues<br />
owned by the players themselves. The reworked PLAYERS Stadium Course at<br />
TPC Sawgrass, with refurbished fairways and rebuilt greens and a new,<br />
enlarged clubhouse, debuted in May 2007 for THE PLAYERS Championship.<br />
The successful debut of the FedExCup in 2007 was concluded by the <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup, with Tiger Woods taking the title.<br />

Tim Finchem began his 14th year as commissioner of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> in June<br />
2007. From the time Finchem joined the <strong>TOUR</strong> management team, he has played<br />
a key role in strengthening the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>’s position as one of the most successful,<br />
well respected sports organizations in the world, and his leadership has<br />
helped foster the growth of the game, both domestically and internationally.<br />
During his tenure, Finchem has greatly expanded the earnings opportunities<br />
for <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> players. The <strong>TOUR</strong>, through its tournaments and sponsors,<br />
has dramatically escalated tournament purses and grown total revenues at an<br />
unprecedented rate, all while donating more than $1 billion to charity, a milestone<br />
reached in late 2005.<br />
One of the most significant accomplishments during this period has been<br />
the development and introduction of the FedExCup, a season-long points competition<br />
that culminates with the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup. In 2007, the<br />
inaugural FedExCup brought an unparalleled level of late-season focus to and<br />
interest in the <strong>TOUR</strong>, as indicated by significant increases in television and online<br />
audiences, tournament attendance, sponsor activation and media coverage.<br />
Under Finchem’s leadership, The Presidents Cup was created in 1994,<br />
bringing together the world’s best non-European players in team, match-play<br />
competition against their American counterparts. After seven stagings, The<br />
Presidents Cup has grown to be one of the most highly anticipated events on<br />
golf’s calendar, and the 2007 event at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada was<br />
the most successful to date.<br />
Finchem has also been instrumental in the formation of the International<br />
Federation of <strong>PGA</strong> Tours and the World Golf Foundation. His personal dedication<br />

Born in Ottawa, IL, on April 19, 1947, Finchem graduated from Princess<br />
Anne High School in Virginia Beach, VA. He attended the University of Richmond<br />
on a debate scholarship, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1969. He graduated<br />
from the University of Virginia Law School in 1973. After practicing law in<br />
Virginia Beach for three years, Finchem served in the White House as Deputy<br />
Advisor to the President in the Office of Economic Affairs in 1978 and 1979. In<br />
the early 1980s, Finchem co-founded the National Strategies and Marketing<br />
Group in Washington, D.C.<br />
Finchem is the recipient of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of<br />
America’s Old Tom Morris Award for 2001 and the <strong>PGA</strong> of America’s<br />
Distinguished Service Award for 2002. He was awarded the Dick Schaap<br />
Lifetime Achievement in Sports Award in 2005.<br />
Finchem is the third commissioner of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, succeeding Deane<br />
Beman. Beman had served for 20 years, replacing the late Joe Dey, who had<br />
been the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s commissioner in its first five years, 1969-74.<br />
Prior to becoming commissioner on June 1, 1994, Finchem was deputy<br />
commissioner and chief operating officer of the <strong>TOUR</strong>. He joined the <strong>TOUR</strong> as<br />
vice president of business affairs in 1987.<br />
Finchem and his wife, the former Holly Bachand, have four children and<br />

Buick Open.<br />
2007 SEASON:<br />
Had the best season of his career, with a victory, a runner-up in<br />
the <strong>PGA</strong> Championship, a spot on The Presidents Cup team, a<br />
17th-place finish in the FedExCup and his most earnings in one<br />
season...Shot the best final round of his season by a winner, an<br />
8-under-par 62, in winning the Stanford St. Jude<br />
Championship. The five-stroke victory was the third of his<br />
career and the first since 2004. Trailed third-round leader Adam<br />
Scott by four and recorded the best final round on <strong>TOUR</strong> since<br />
Brad Faxon shot a 61 to win the 2006 Buick Championship.<br />
Entered the event with five missed cuts and a best finish of T18<br />
in 2007...Three weeks later, finished T2 at the Buick Open, an<br />
event he won in 1995, one stroke behind Brian Bateman.<br />
Recorded his career-best finish in a major, placing second to<br />
Tiger Woods at the <strong>PGA</strong> Championship at Southern Hills. Was<br />
within one of Woods on the back nine on Sunday and finished<br />
with a final-round 67, two behind. Was the only player in the<br />
field to record all four rounds at par or better. Finish improved<br />
his position from 18th to 10th in The Presidents Cup standings,<br />
thereby making his first national team competition...Qualified<br />
for the <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship for the first time since 1995, finished<br />
T11. In first team appearance representing the United<br />
States, had a 1-1-3 record. That included the biggest moment<br />
of the competition when he fell face first in a hazard on the<br />
14th hole while trying to extract his ball from the water.<br />
Recovered to birdie the final three holes to earn a halve with<br />
teammate David Toms in the Four-ball match with Trevor<br />

Invitational...Still on the West Coast, carded an ace en<br />
route to a final-group pairing with Phil Mickelson and<br />
Padraig Harrington on Sunday at the Nissan Open, but finished<br />
T13 after a final-round 75. Climbed onto car after<br />
making ace, which was later aired during Nissan commercials...Among<br />
the leaders all week at The Barclays, but a<br />
closing 1-over 72 dropped him to T7. Made the biggest<br />
move in the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup, improving<br />
21 spots to 113th, gaining eligibility for the following<br />

PERSONAL:<br />
Won a Nissan Altima Coupe with a hole-in-once at the 2007<br />
Nissan Open on the par-3 14th hole during the third round.<br />
Immediately after the ace with a 7-iron from 176 yards,<br />
dove onto the car on display next to the tee box and eventually<br />
found his way onto a Nissan television commercial<br />
with the antic. Beem had watched Peter Jacobsen dive into<br />
a car after his ace in the Nissan Open 13 years ago. “I wish<br />
I could take full credit for making a fool of myself, but I stole<br />
that (from Peter Jacobsen). Jake had a convertible and<br />
hopped into it. I will never forget that. Today, I just saw the<br />
car and thought, might as well. I'll tell you the top of that<br />
hood was pretty warm, and the back is a little scratched up<br />
from my shoes.”...Quit the game temporarily in 1995 and<br />
sold cellular phones and car stereo systems in Seattle.<br />

bed in family's two-bedroom home. Four brothers also are<br />

know who I'm playing with. Just tell me the time. In 2002,<br />
at the Byron Nelson I played with Ernie Els in the final<br />
round, it worked good, because I watched Ernie play a lot of<br />
golf on TV. So we just kind of kept that routine going. I just<br />
never look and find out on the first tee.”<br />

after the pin, and it was right on line with the pin, maybe a<br />
yard right of the pin, and went in the water. You've got to<br />
make something happen. I didn't bust it for four days to get<br />
second place. So obviously I paid for it.”...First-round 65<br />

the 2006 Nissan Irish Open, he chipped out into the fairway on No. 9 in the final round, basically<br />
taking a penalty stroke, despite finding a perfect lie on Monday after a rain-induced<br />
suspension of the final round Sunday. After finding the rains had dramatically improved the<br />
position of his ball, he explained his thought process: "Honesty is part and parcel of the<br />
game and I could not have acted any other way," he said. Clarke made a bogey on the hole<br />
and finished two behind Thomas Bjorn. Won once annually worldwide from 1997-2004.<br />

<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> rookie made the cut in 14 of 19 starts on the Nationwide<br />
Tour in 2007, with 10 top-25 finishes. Finished the season No. 5 on<br />
the money list, with $331,542. In just his second career start on the<br />
Nationwide Tour, finished T6 at the HSBC New Zealand <strong>PGA</strong> Championship. Played in the<br />
final pairing at the Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship, but an 8-over 80 in the<br />
final round left him well behind winner Omar Uresti. Posted a then-career-best T4 at the<br />
Fort Smith Classic, posting a career-best, 8-under 62 to wind up two shots back of winner<br />
Jay Williamson. Shared the lead after the first and third rounds at the LaSalle Bank Open,<br />
but a 73 in the final round led to a T9 - his third top-10 showing of the year. Breakthrough<br />
performance came at the Legend Financial Group Classic, where a final-round 67 and a<br />
tournament-record 16-under-par 268 made him the youngest player to win a <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>sanctioned<br />
event. At 19 years, 7 months, 26 days, he surpassed the previous youngest players<br />
to win on the two Tours, including Johnny McDermott’s (19 years, 10 months) win at the<br />
1911 U.S. Open and James Oh’s (21 years, 5 months, 27 days) victory at the 2003 Mark<br />

began a five-tournament stretch where he posted four top-five finishes, including a T5 at<br />
the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational, a runner-up effort at the Cox Classic and a<br />
third-place finish at the Xerox Classic. Of particular note was a weekend duel in Omaha<br />
with eventual winner Roland Thatcher. Shot scores of 62-63 (17-under par) but still finished<br />
one stroke behind Thatcher. His 125 total over the final two rounds equaled the lowest 36hole<br />
score in Nationwide Tour history. It had been posted on three previous occasions.<br />
Played the front nine Saturday (28) and Sunday (29) at 13-under par. Was named the Tour's<br />
Player of the Month in July. Suffered a right wrist injury late in the 2007 season which<br />

the cut. Will play out of the Past Champion category for the 2008 season.<br />
Spent much of 2007 as a co-host on GOLF CHANNEL's "The Approach," where he and<br />
Alex Miceli would debate in a player versus the media forum. In 21st year on <strong>TOUR</strong>, limited<br />
to 19 events in 2006 due to cancer surgery and subsequent recovery. Underwent successful<br />
surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his left kidney at the Cleveland (Ohio)<br />
Clinic Feb. 18. Dr. Indebir Gill performed the operation and said that the tumor and 15 percent<br />
of the kidney were removed “with excellent margins,” and that no radiation or<br />
chemotherapy procedures would be needed. Returned to action at the Shell Houston Open<br />
in late April. Received a Non-Exempt, Major Medical Extension for 2007. Finished 140th on<br />

1997, in the 2005 Sony Open in Hawaii (T7) and Bob Hope Chrysler Classic (T8). Used Top-<br />

hole. Magee's drive bounded onto the green at TPC Scottsdale, caromed off Tom Byrum's<br />
putter and went into the hole for what was believed to be the first hole-in-one on a par 4<br />
in <strong>TOUR</strong> history. "It looked like a hole-in-one and sounded like a hole-in-one. But I still wasn't<br />
sure it was one," Magee said. Byrum was squatting down looking over a putt when the<br />
ball deflected off his putter and rolled about 8 feet directly into the hole for a rare doubleeagle<br />
ace. Earned $500,000 in the 1999 World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play<br />
Championship, losing to Jeff Maggert in the final. Most recent victory came at 1994<br />

ERS Championship. Recovered from a first-round, 5-over-par 77 to finish<br />
five strokes behind champion Phil Mickelson. Joined the <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> in early July as a Special Temporary Member for the remainder<br />
of 2007. Best European Tour finish was a second at the Portugal Masters in late October.<br />
Two titles in 2006 made Karlsson Sweden’s most prolific champion, surpassing the record<br />
of Anders Forsbrand. Karlsson took his victory tally to seven with a win in the Deutsche<br />
Bank Players’ Championship of Europe. That followed an earlier win in the Celtic Manor<br />
Wales Open. Joined the European Tour in 1991 and won his first five titles between 1995<br />
and 2002. In 2003 he decided to make a fresh start after years of feeling frustrated with<br />
both his game and life situation. Since then has worked hard with his attitude, as he has<br />
become more relaxed and content both on and off the course. His work with his Swedish<br />
coach, Annchristine Lundstrom, has helped enormously and he credits her for the hints she<br />
has given him to fully start taking personal leadership. "I never thought that this day would<br />
come, where I could play up to seven weeks in a row and really enjoy every round," Karlsson<br />
said. "There are many reasons why I feel this way. One of them is the incredible love and<br />
support I get from my wife.” At 6-5, one of the tallest players in golf. Son of a superintendent.<br />

Mercedes-Benz Championship<br />
NOTES<br />
The 2007 Mercedes-Benz Championship win for<br />
Vijay Singh came in his 11th appearance in the<br />
tournament and his eighth at the Plantation Course<br />
at Kapalua. It also marked his eighth consecutive<br />
top-10 at the event. Singh has recorded 28 of 32<br />
rounds in Kapalua at par or better and he carries a<br />
scoring average at the Plantation Course of 69.31.<br />
Vijay Singh’s win at the 2007 Mercedes-Benz<br />
Championship was his sixth consecutive season<br />
with a victory (2002-07), the second-longest current<br />
streak on <strong>TOUR</strong> behind Tiger Woods (12).<br />
After three runner-up finishes in 2006 (Nissan<br />
Open, The Barclays, World Golf Championships-<br />
American Express Championship), Adam Scott<br />
notched his sixth career runner-up at the 2007<br />
Mercedes-Benz Championship.<br />
ADAM SCOTT<br />
David Toms recorded the low round of the week<br />
with a 6-under-par 67 in the final round to finish<br />
T8. Toms hit 14 of 15 fairways and 16 of 18 greens<br />
on the day en route to his bogey-free round. The<br />
top-10 for Toms was his fourth in seven trips to<br />
Kapalua – his best being second in a playoff in<br />
2002 where he lost to Sergio Garcia.<br />
Vijay Singh, Rod Pampling and David Toms<br />
posted bogey-free rounds in the final round – the<br />
only three bogey-free rounds in 2007.<br />

Sony Open in Hawaii<br />
NOTES<br />
With his victory at the 2007 Sony Open in Hawaii,<br />
Paul Goydos earned his second career <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
victory in his 15th season (361st start) on <strong>TOUR</strong> at<br />
age 42 years, 6 months and 11 days. The win came<br />
10 years, nine months and 29 days after his first<br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> victory at the 1996 Bay Hill Invitational.<br />
2007 winner Paul Goydos became the fourth<br />
player over age 40 to win the Sony Open in Hawaii<br />
since 1999, joining Jeff Sluman (1999), Paul<br />
Azinger (2000) and Vijay Singh (2005). The win<br />
was Goydos’ fourth top-10 in 12 starts at the Sony<br />
Open, dating back to 1993.<br />
CHARLES HOWELL III<br />
Paul Goydos (second round), Luke Donald (first<br />
round) and Charles Howell III (second round)<br />
shared low round-of-the-week honors in 2007 with<br />
7-under 63s. Donald and Howell finished T2, one<br />
behind the champion Goydos.<br />
The $936,000 winner’s check for Paul Goydos in<br />
2007 was more than he has earned in any of the<br />
previous 14 years on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>. His previous<br />
high of $890,392 came in 2006.<br />
Luke Donald and K.J. Choi were the only two<br />
players to post back-to-back top-10s in Hawaii to<br />
start the 2007 season. Donald finished seventh at<br />
the Mercedes-Benz Championship and T2 at the<br />
Sony Open in Hawaii, while Choi finished T8 and T4.<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
Bob Hope Chrysler Classic<br />
NOTES<br />
In 2007, Sunday’s final-round scoring average of<br />
74.763 was the most difficult final day in the 48year<br />
history of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. The<br />
previous high of 74.202 came at the 1964 Palm<br />
Springs Golf Classic at Eldorado Country Club,<br />
where Tommy Jacobs fired a final-round 70 and<br />
beat Jimmy Demaret in a playoff. The final round<br />
of the 1961 Palm Springs Golf Classic had a scoring<br />
average of 74.08. More recently, the 1987 Bob<br />
Hope Chrysler Classic final day at the Stadium<br />
Course at <strong>PGA</strong> West had a scoring average of<br />
73.971.<br />
Charley Hoffman became the first player to win<br />
the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in his initial try<br />
since Arnold Palmer in 1960. Hoffman and<br />
Palmer are the only two players to accomplish that<br />
feat in the 48 years of the tournament.<br />
Charley Hoffman is only the fourth player to earn<br />
his first <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> victory at the Bob Hope<br />
Chrysler Classic, joining Bill Rogers (1978), Craig<br />
Stadler (1980) and Donnie Hammond (1986).<br />
The youngest winner in Bob Hope Chrysler Classic<br />
history was Jack Nicklaus in 1963 at age 23<br />
years, 13 days.<br />
The 2007 playoff between Charley Hoffman and<br />
John Rollins was the 17th in the 48-year history<br />
of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and the first since<br />
2004 when Phil Mickelson defeated Skip<br />
Kendall.<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
FBR Open<br />
NOTES<br />
Three Phoenix-area residents enjoyed home cooking<br />
at the FBR Open in 2007:<br />
• Aaron Baddeley, first, lives in Scottsdale, AZ.<br />
• Jeff Quinney, third, lives in Scottsdale and<br />
attended Arizona State.<br />
• Billy Mayfair, fifth, lives in Scottsdale at TPC<br />
Scottsdale and attended Arizona State.<br />
Aaron Baddeley captured the 2007 FBR Open in<br />
his 123rd career start on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> (9 amateur,<br />
114 professional starts) at age 25 years, 10 months<br />
and 18 days. He had only made one cut in his four<br />
previous starts at the event, a T49 in 2004.<br />
Aaron Baddeley became the fourth international<br />
player to win the FBR Open since the tournament<br />
moved to TPC Scottsdale in 1987. He joined<br />
Sandy Lyle (1988), Vijay Singh (1995, 2003) and<br />
Jesper Parnevik (1998).<br />
Thanks to a final-round 7-under-par 64 in 2007,<br />
Vijay Singh racked up his fifth career top-10 at<br />
the FBR Open, including two victories (1995, 2003).<br />
He received $201,000 and moved from third to<br />
second on the tournament career money list, just<br />
$17,030 short of tournament career money leader<br />
Phil Mickelson ($1,807,813).<br />
Heath Slocum aced the par-3 14th hole when he<br />
holed a 7-iron from 179 yards in the final round en<br />
route to a sixth-place finish. It was the first hole in<br />
one recorded at TPC Scottsdale since 2003 when<br />
Bob Burns and Tim Herron recorded aces at the<br />
fourth hole. It was the 18th hole in one at TPC<br />
Scottsdale and the seventh at the fourth.<br />

NOTES<br />
Phil Mickelson has history at all three golf courses<br />
that make up the rotation at the AT&T Pebble<br />
Beach National Pro-Am:<br />
• 1998, 2005 and 2007 AT&T Pebble Beach<br />
National Pro-Am champion.<br />
• Poppy Hills Golf Course was the only NCAA<br />
Championship site where the three-time former<br />
NCAA champion at Arizona State failed to win<br />
the NCAA individual title in 1991 as a junior.<br />
• Holds a share of the course record (with Luke<br />
Donald) at Spyglass Hills Golf Course (2005)<br />
with a 10-under-par 62.<br />
• Played in his first <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> event as a professional<br />
(1992) at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach<br />
Golf Links won by Tom Kite.<br />
Phil Mickelson is the leader among active players<br />
with victories at multiple-course events:<br />
• Phil Mickelson 12—3-AT&T Pebble Beach<br />
National Pro-Am, 3-Chrysler Classic of Tucson,<br />
3-Buick Invitational, 2-Bob Hope Chrysler<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
AT&T Pebble Beach<br />
National Pro-Am<br />
NOTES<br />
2007 champion Phil Mickelson equaled the tournament<br />
record of 20-under-par 268 set by Mark<br />
O’Meara in 1997.<br />
Ryan Moore (T19) posted a 7-under 29 in 2007 on<br />
the front nine at Pebble Beach in the final round en<br />
route to a final-round 6-under-par 66. It was just<br />
one shy of the tournament-record 28 recorded by<br />
Brent Schwarzrock in 2002 and Davis Love III<br />
and Spike McRoy in 2001.<br />
The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am became<br />
the fourth <strong>TOUR</strong> event of Phil Mickelson’s career<br />
that he has won three or more times. The list<br />
includes the AT&T Classic in suburban Atlanta<br />
(2000, 2005-06), Buick Invitational (1993, 2000-01),<br />
Chrysler Classic of Tucson (1991, 1995-96) and the<br />
AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am (1998, 2005,<br />
2007). The win placed him in select company at<br />
the Pebble Beach tournament, joining Mark<br />
O’Meara (5), Jack Nicklaus (3) and Johnny<br />
Miller (3) as the only players with three or more<br />
wins.<br />
Phil Mickelson’s win in 2007 was his 10th in his<br />
home state of California.<br />
Phil Mickelson’s five-stroke victory margin<br />
equaled a tournament record, matching Lloyd<br />
Mangrum (1948), Cary Middlecoff (1956), Jack<br />
Nicklaus (1967), Fuzzy Zoeller (1986) and Arron<br />
Oberholser (2006).<br />
Phil Mickelson’s victory with amateur partner<br />
Harry You in the pro-am portion of the 2007 AT&T<br />
Pebble Beach National Pro-Am represented the<br />
seventh time in tournament history that the professional<br />
winner has also won at least a share of the<br />
pro-am title. The others were Arron Oberholser<br />
(2006), Fuzzy Zoeller (1986), Johnny Miller<br />
(1974), Johnny Pott (1968), Art Wall (1959) and<br />
Sam Snead (1937).<br />
In just his fourth <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> event, John<br />
Mallinger went bogey free over the first 50 holes<br />
of the 2007 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am<br />
en route to a third-place finish. He finished with<br />
just four bogeys on the week.<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
Northern Trust Open<br />
NOTES<br />
2008 marks the 82nd playing of the Northern Trust<br />
Open. Outside the major championships, the tournament<br />
is the fourth-oldest event on the <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> (BMW Championship, Canadian Open and<br />
Valero Texas Open are older).<br />
Charles Howell III (age 27) became just the fifth<br />
of the last 18 Nissan Open winners (dating back to<br />
1990) to win the tournament before turning 30. The<br />
others were 1999 champion Ernie Els (29), 2001<br />
winner Robert Allenby (29), 2005 champion<br />
Adam Scott (24) and 2006 winner Rory<br />
Sabbatini (29).<br />
ADAM SCOTT<br />
Charles Howell III’s victory – the second of his<br />
career – was his 16th top-3 finish since joining the<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> in 2000. He improved to 1-2 in playoffs,<br />
having lost earlier at the 2001 Greater Milwaukee<br />
Open and the 2003 Nissan Open.<br />

The three-hole playoff in 2007 was the longest at<br />
the Nissan Open since Tom Watson defeated<br />
Johnny Miller in the same number of holes in<br />
1982. Howell made a par 3 on the third playoff<br />
hole to beat Phil Mickelson.<br />
There have been 16 playoffs at the Nissan Open,<br />
including four in the last seven years:<br />
• 2001 - Robert Allenby won a six-man playoff<br />
• 2003 - Mike Weir defeated Charles Howell<br />
III, surging back from seven shots down<br />
• 2005 - Adam Scott defeated Chad Campbell<br />
in the 36-hole, weather-shortened event<br />
• 2007 – Charles Howell III defeated Phil<br />
Mickelson with a par 3 on the third extra hole<br />
Prior to the 2007 tournament, there had been only<br />
five players able to record four rounds in the 60s at<br />
Riviera Country Club during the last 11 years. That<br />
number was doubled last year, with five players<br />
posting four sub-70 rounds.<br />

Charles Howell III became the first non-international<br />
winner of the Nissan Open since Len<br />
Mattiace won in 2002. He was just the fourth<br />
American to win the event in the past 11 years,<br />
joining Mattiace, Kirk Triplett (2000) and Billy<br />
Mayfair (1998).<br />
Tiger Woods has made 11 starts at the Nissan<br />
Open without a victory. It is the most starts at any<br />
tournament without a victory for him. Woods finished<br />
T13 in 2005 and withdrew after two rounds<br />
in 2006 because of the flu. The next closest is The<br />
Barclays, which he has played four times without a<br />
win.<br />

Arnold Palmer Invitational<br />
presented by MasterCard<br />
NOTES<br />
Vijay Singh earned his 31st career victory at the<br />
2007 Arnold Palmer Invitational. The win came in<br />
his 363rd event on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> at age 44 years<br />
and 24 days. The win came in his 15th start at the<br />
Bay Hill Club. Singh has made all 15 cuts with six<br />
top-10s. His previous best finish was a T2 in 1992,<br />
1994 and 2005.<br />
Vijay Singh has captured 23 different <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
events, with four of those coming in Florida –<br />
Chrysler Championship, The Honda Classic, FUNAI<br />
Classic at Walt Disney World Resort and Arnold<br />
Palmer Invitational.<br />
Vijay Singh has 19 wins since turning 40, the<br />
most by any player in <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> history. Sam<br />

age 40 in tournament history: Ben Crenshaw<br />
(1993/41), Arnold Palmer (1971/41), Kenny<br />
Perry (2005/44) and Julius Boros (1967/47).<br />
Singh was the third-oldest winner in tournament<br />
history behind Boros and Perry.<br />
Rocco <strong>Media</strong>te’s second-place finish in 2007 was<br />
his best on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> since he was runner-up<br />

second-place finish in Orlando. Playing the year on<br />

earn $514,999, equaling No. 125 on the 2006<br />
money list. With his $750,650 in total earnings in<br />
just six tournaments, <strong>Media</strong>te was elevated to the<br />
Major Medical Extension category for the rest of<br />

Shell Houston Open<br />
NOTES<br />
Adam Scott earned his fifth official <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> victory<br />
at the 2007 Shell Houston Open in his 95th start<br />
on <strong>TOUR</strong> at age 26 years, 8 months and 16 days. It<br />
was his second victory in his last six starts dating<br />
back to the 2006 <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship presented by<br />
Coca-Cola. Scott was the youngest winner of the<br />
Shell Houston Open since David Duval (1998) won<br />
at age 26 years, five months and 24 days.<br />
2007 Shell Houston Open champion Adam Scott<br />
played the final 36 holes without a bogey, including<br />
a 48-foot par-saving putt on the 72nd hole.<br />
Adam Scott (2007) became the sixth Australian to<br />
win the Shell Houston Open, joining Bruce Devlin<br />
(1972), Bruce Crampton (1975), David Graham<br />
(1983), Robert Allenby (2000) and Stuart<br />
Appleby (1999, 2006).<br />
Australia’s Adam Scott (2007) became the fourth<br />
consecutive foreign-born winner of the Shell<br />
Houston Open, joining Australia’s Stuart Appleby<br />
(2006) and Fiji’s Vijay Singh (2004-05).<br />
STUART APPLEBY<br />
Adam Scott’s 2007 victory from three strokes off<br />
the pace through 54 holes was the largest comeback<br />
at the Shell Houston Open since David<br />
Duval rallied from six back in 1998.<br />

Masters Tournament<br />
NOTES<br />
Zach Johnson’s winning score of 289 matched<br />
the highest in Masters history, the last time coming<br />
51 years before when Jack Burke, Jr. won in<br />
1956. Sam Snead also won the 1954 tournament<br />
with a 1-over 289 total.<br />
Zach Johnson became the first Nationwide Tour<br />
graduate to win the Masters Tournament. His win<br />
was the 11th major championship title by a former<br />
Nationwide Tour player and the first since Shaun<br />
Micheel won the 2003 <strong>PGA</strong> Championship.<br />
Nationwide Tour alums have won each of the four<br />
major championships at least once.<br />
SHAUN MICHEEL<br />
Zach Johnson became the first Masters winner<br />
since 1990 to not play in the final group on Sunday.<br />
Nick Faldo was in the next-to-last group when he<br />
won the tournament in 1990.<br />
Zach Johnson won the Masters with his performance<br />
on the par-5 holes. He was 11-under par on<br />
the 16 par 5s and never went for one in two. His<br />
performance on the three-shot holes was the best<br />
of anyone in the field.<br />
Gary Player made his 50th career start in the<br />
Masters in 2007, tying Arnold Palmer’s record.<br />
Palmer made 50 consecutive starts from 1955-<br />
2004. Player set the tournament record for most<br />
consecutive cuts made, 23 in a row, from 1959-<br />
1982. At age 71, Player was the oldest international<br />
player to start in the Masters.<br />

NOTES<br />
Boo Weekley chipped in for par on the 17th and<br />
18th holes to hold on in windy conditions and capture<br />
his first <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> title at the 2007 Verizon<br />
Heritage. Winds in excess of 40 mph at Harbour<br />
Town Golf Links forced the final round to be postponed<br />
on Sunday, with the field returning on<br />
Monday morning to complete play with high winds<br />
still existent. The previous tournament suspended<br />
due to wind was the 2005 FBR Open.<br />
Boo Weekley won the 2007 Verizon Heritage in<br />
his first start at the event. He became the 10th<br />
player to earn his first <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> victory at the<br />
Verizon Heritage, joining 1971 winner Hale Irwin,<br />
1977 winner Graham Marsh, 198 winner Doug<br />
Tewell, 1984 winner Nick Faldo, 1987 winner<br />
Davis Love III, 1999 winner Glen Day, 2001 winner<br />
Jose Coceres, 2005 winner Peter Lonard<br />
and 2006 winner Aaron Baddeley.<br />
With his 2007 victory, Boo Weekley earned an<br />
invitation to the 2008 Masters Tournament.<br />
Weekley was the first player eligible for the newly<br />
reinstated rule that grants all <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> winners<br />
during the Regular Season of the FedExCup an<br />
invite to the next Masters Tournament.<br />
Last year, Boo Weekley was the only player in<br />
the field to post all four rounds in the 60s. He<br />
joined Billy Mayfair (2006) as the only player to<br />
have pulled off this feat at the Verizon Heritage<br />
since 2003, when a record six players did so. The<br />
previous winner to post four rounds in the 60s was<br />
Davis Love III in 2003.<br />

Zurich Classic of New Orleans<br />
NOTES<br />
Nick Watney became the 16th player to earn his<br />
first <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> win at the Zurich Classic of New<br />
Orleans and the fifth in the last six years. Watney<br />
joined K. J. Choi (2002), Steve Flesch (2003),<br />
Tim Petrovic (2005) and Chris Couch (2006) as<br />
the most recent first-time winners.<br />
Nick Watney became the third-youngest champion<br />
of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans last year,<br />
winning three days before his 26th birthday. Lee<br />
Westwood (1998) is the youngest tournament<br />
winner at 23 years, 11 months and 11 days. Larry<br />
Hinson, the 1969 champion, is the second<br />
youngest at 25 years, 8 months and 29 days.<br />
Nick Watney became the first Zurich Classic of<br />
New Orleans winner to post all four rounds in the<br />
60s (69-67-68-69) since Carlos Franco turned the<br />
trick in 2000. Watney also became the first player<br />
to register all four rounds in the 60s at the TPC<br />
Louisiana course.<br />
Rookie Kyle Reifers established a new course<br />
record at TPC Louisiana with an 8-under-par 64 in<br />
the opening round. Reifers broke the previous mark<br />
of 65 set by Chris DiMarco and Arjun Atwal in<br />
the first round in 2005.<br />

NOTES<br />
After sharing the tournament with the Cottonwood<br />
Valley Course on Thursday and Friday since 1994,<br />
the newly-renovated TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas<br />
will be the sole tournament course beginning in<br />
2008. D.A. Weibring’s company, D.A. Weibring/<br />
Golf Resources Group, handled renovations of the<br />
course with assistance from J.J. Henry and<br />
Harrison Frazar, who served as player consultants.<br />
At the 2007 EDS Byron Nelson Championship,<br />
Scott Verplank earned his fifth <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> victory<br />
in his 497th career start on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> at age<br />
42 years, 9 months and 20 days. Verplank was the<br />
fourth player over age 40 to win over the past 40<br />
years and the first since Vijay Singh in 2003.<br />
VIJAY SINGH<br />
The 2007 win for Dallas resident Scott Verplank<br />
came in his 21st appearance in the event, the most<br />
starts by a winner claiming his first EDS Byron<br />
Nelson Championship. Loren Roberts won in his<br />
17th start in 1999. (Those with more starts but<br />
without a win include: 23 starts – Mark Brooks;<br />
22 starts – Tom Byrum, Tom Kite, Hal Sutton, D.<br />
A. Weibring; 21 starts – Dave Stockton, Jr.,<br />
Bobby Wadkins.) Verplank was friends with tournament<br />
namesake Byron Nelson and was also a<br />
standard bearer at the tournament in his youth.<br />

THE PLAYERS<br />
Championship<br />
NOTES<br />
Phil Mickelson, the 2007 champion, is No. 1 on<br />
the all-time PLAYERS Championship money list<br />
with $2,497,526.<br />
In the final round in 2007, Phil Mickelson hit all<br />
but four fairways, 16 of 18 Greens in Regulation and<br />
fired a 3-under-par 69. The 36-year-old lefthander<br />
overtook third-round leader Sean O’Hair early on<br />
the back nine and was able to enjoy the walk home<br />
when O’Hair found water on the 17th hole.<br />
SEAN O’HAIR<br />
The <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> statistic for Greens in Regulation<br />
has long been an accurate measurement for players<br />
who play well at THE PLAYERS Championship.<br />
Nine of the past 24 winners have finished either<br />
first or T1 for the week in Greens in Regulation,<br />
including three of the last four (2006, Stephen<br />
Ames – T1; 2005, Fred Funk – 1st; 2004, Adam<br />
Scott – 1st). Phil Mickelson finished T24 in GIR<br />
in 2007 by hitting 64.79 percent of his greens.<br />
Mickelson also finished T65 in Driving Accuracy<br />
(53.6 percent) and 23rd in Putting Average (1.717).<br />
Phil Mickelson’s 2007 PLAYERS win in his 14th<br />
start was one short of the record for most starts<br />
before the first PLAYERS win, shared with Tom<br />
Kite (1989) and Fred Funk (2005).<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
AT&T Classic<br />
NOTES<br />
Zach Johnson has three career wins on the <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> and all have come in the state of Georgia.<br />
Johnson won the 2004 AT&T Classic and added a<br />
pair of wins last year – the Masters Tournament in<br />
Augusta and the AT&T Classic. In addition, he finished<br />
tied for second at THE <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship<br />
presented by Coca-Cola in Atlanta, where he shot<br />
a course-record 60 in the third round.<br />
Zach Johnson became the third player to win the<br />
Masters and the AT&T Classic in the same year.<br />
Tom Watson did it first in 1981 and Phil<br />
Mickelson in 2006.<br />
Last year’s playoff was the 11th in tournament history<br />
but only the third since the event moved to<br />
TPC Sugarloaf in 1997.<br />
Stewart Cink recorded the first double eagle at<br />
TPC Sugarloaf since the tournament arrived in<br />
1997. Cink holed a hybrid from 241 yards for his<br />
double eagle-2 at the 566-yard, sixth hole during<br />
the final round.<br />
Ryuji Imada’s runner-up finish in 2007 was his<br />
career best, bettering a fifth-place showing at the<br />
2005 Booz-Allen Classic.<br />

the Memorial Tournament<br />
presented by Morgan Stanley<br />
NOTES<br />
The 2007 Memorial Tournament win for K.J. Choi<br />
came in his eighth appearance at the tournament. It<br />
marked Choi’s third top-10 (5th/2004 and T8/2005).<br />
At age 37 years and 15 days, K.J. Choi (South<br />
Korea) became just the sixth international player to<br />
win the Memorial Tournament, joining Carl<br />
Pettersson (Sweden, 2006), Ernie Els (South<br />
Africa, 2004), Vijay Singh (Fiji, 1997), Greg<br />
Norman (Australia, 1990, ’95) and David Graham<br />
(Australia, 1980).<br />
CARL PETTERSSON<br />
K.J. Choi’s victory at the 2007 Memorial<br />
Tournament gave him a win in each of his past three<br />
seasons on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> (2006/Chrysler<br />
Championship, 2005/Chrysler Classic of Greensboro).<br />
K.J. Choi’s final-round 65 tied the tournament’s<br />
low final-round score by a winner. Jim Furyk carded<br />
a 65 on Sunday to claim the 2002 Memorial<br />
Tournament title.<br />
Kenny Perry’s final-round 63 in 2007 was the lowest<br />
final-round score in the Memorial Tournament’s<br />
history. Mark McCumber, Fred Couples, Steve<br />
Pate and Greg Norman shared the previous<br />
record of 64.<br />
Ryan Moore finished second at the 2007<br />
Memorial Tournament, the third runner-up finish of<br />
his <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> career. Moore’s other runner-up finishes<br />
came at the 2006 Travelers Championship<br />
and the 2005 Bell Canadian Open.<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
Stanford St. Jude Championship<br />
NOTES<br />
Woody Austin had found little success in<br />
Memphis prior to 2007. In nine starts at the<br />
Stanford St. Jude Championship, Austin had made<br />
just four cuts with a best finish of T44 in 2005.<br />
Woody Austin’s 8-under-par 62 was the low finish<br />
on <strong>TOUR</strong> in 2007 for a winner, and the lowest<br />
final round for a champion since Brad Faxon posted<br />
a 9-under-par 61 to win the 2006 Buick<br />
Championship.<br />
Woody Austin’s 8-under-par 62 in 2007 also was<br />
a career low on <strong>TOUR</strong>, as he carded rounds of 63<br />
on six different occasions.<br />
The five-stroke win for Woody Austin tied the<br />
fourth-largest margin of victory in tournament history:<br />
John Cook’s seven-stroke win in 1996<br />
remains the biggest winning margin. Raymond<br />
Floyd (1982) and David Toms (2004) won their<br />
respective events by six shots.<br />
Woody Austin, at 43 years, four months and 13<br />
days, is the second-oldest winner of the Stanford<br />
St. Jude Championship. Gene Littler (44 years, 10<br />
months, 4 days) is the oldest champion in tournament<br />
history, having won the Danny Thomas<br />
Memphis Classic in 1975.<br />
Two-time champion David Toms (2003-04) posted<br />
his sixth consecutive top-10 at the Stanford St.<br />
Jude Championship, finishing third, six strokes<br />
behind champion Woody Austin. Toms has finished<br />
4th, 1st, 1st, 2nd, T10 and 3rd starting in<br />
2002.<br />

U.S. Open<br />
NOTES<br />
Angel Cabrera fired rounds of 69-71-76-69—285,<br />
making him the first champion to win including a<br />
score of 76 since Johnny Miller in the third round<br />
in 1973 at Oakmont Country Club.<br />
Angel Cabrera became the 14th player to record<br />
his first <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> victory at the U.S. Open, going<br />
back to 1916, joining Michael Campbell (2005),<br />
Retief Goosen (2001), Ernie Els (1993), Jerry<br />
Pate (1976), Lee Trevino (1973), Orville Moody<br />
(1969), Jack Nicklaus (1962), Jack Fleck (1955),<br />
Julius Boros (1952), Sam Parks (1935), Johnny<br />
Goodman (1933), Charles Evans, Jr. (1916) and<br />
Bobby Jones (1923).<br />
Tiger Woods’ second-place finish in 2007 was his<br />
fifth career top-3 finish at the U.S. Open. Only<br />
seven other golfers have had at least five top-3 finishes<br />
at the U.S. Open: Jack Nicklaus (9), Bobby<br />
Jones (8), Ben Hogan (8), Gene Sarazen (7),<br />
Arnold Palmer (6), Sam Snead (5) and Julius<br />
Boros (5).<br />
TIGER WOODS<br />
Jim Furyk, who tied Tiger Woods for second<br />
place, finished in second for the second consecutive<br />
year at the U.S. Open. The last golfer to finish<br />
a major in second place in consecutive years was<br />
Greg Norman at the Masters in 1986 and 1987.<br />
In the last 90 years of the U.S. Open, Furyk is the<br />
fourth golfer to finish in the runner-up spot in consecutive<br />
years: Bobby Jones (1924, 1925), Ben<br />
Hogan (1955, 1956) and Arnold Palmer (1962,<br />
1963, 1966, 1967).<br />

U.S. Open<br />
NOTES<br />
Sweden’s Niclas Fasth finished alone in fourth<br />
place just two shots behind winner Angel<br />
Cabrera. Fasth’s fourth-place finish is the best by<br />
a golfer from Sweden in the U.S. Open. The previous<br />
best finish in a U.S. Open by a golfer from<br />
Sweden was Fredrik Jacobson at Olympia Fields<br />
in 2003, where he tied for fifth.<br />
Angel Cabrera became just the second Argentine<br />
to win a major championship. Roberto De<br />
Vicenzo won the British Open in 1967.<br />
There are 25 international players who have won<br />
the U.S. Open on 31 different occasions.<br />
Torrey Pines’ South Course is the site of two <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> events in 2008 – the Buick Invitational in<br />
January and the U.S. Open in June. Only Pebble<br />
Beach (CA) Golf Links, Rivera Country Club in Los<br />
Angeles and Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton<br />
Head, SC, have played host to two events in one<br />
year. Pebble Beach will be the site for two events<br />
in a year again in 2010. The two-tournament lineup:<br />

NOTES<br />
Hunter Mahan became the 13th player to win his<br />
first <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> title at the Travelers Championship.<br />
Mahan joins other recent champions Stewart<br />
Cink (1997), Brent Geiberger (1999) and J. J.<br />
Henry (2006) in the first-time winner’s category.<br />
Hunter Mahan moved to the top of the tournament’s<br />
all-time money list with his win last year.<br />
Mahan has made only six career starts at TPC River<br />
Highlands and missed the cut in his first two tries.<br />
Mahan tied for second in 2006 and his win last<br />
year increased his money to just over $1.5 million.<br />
Hunter Mahan’s first-round 62 was one stroke off<br />
the course record of 61 set by Kirk Triplett in the<br />
third round in 2000. His 62 matched the lowest<br />
first-round score in tournament history.<br />
Michael Sim tied the tournament record for the<br />
lowest front-nine score with a 29 in the first round.<br />
Mike Brisky set the front nine record of 6-under<br />
in 1995. Vijay Singh holds the record for lowest<br />
back-nine score with a 7-under 29 in 1998.<br />
VIJAY SINGH<br />
Non-<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> member Jay Williamson was<br />
given a sponsor’s exemption into the field last year<br />
and made the most of his opportunity. Williamson,<br />
who played baseball and hockey but not golf at<br />
Trinity University in Hartford, CT, shared the second-round<br />
lead and held the third-round lead<br />
before eventually losing in a playoff to Hunter<br />
Mahan. The second-place effort was a career-best<br />
for Williamson, who previously finished tied for<br />
third at the 2003 AT&T Classic.<br />

Buick Open<br />
NOTES<br />
Brian Bateman became the first Buick Open<br />
champion not to play in the final group Sunday<br />
since 1999 when Tom Pernice, Jr. came from the<br />
sixth-to-last group to win. Pernice was the last<br />
player to win his first <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> title at the Buick<br />
Open before Bateman won in 2007.<br />
Brian Bateman was the first Buick Open champion<br />
to win on the final hole with a birdie since<br />
Rocco <strong>Media</strong>te did the same in 2000.<br />
Jim Furyk’s T5 finish was the eighth top-10 of his<br />
career at the Buick Open, which in turn gave him<br />
the most top-10 finishes in Buick Open history.<br />
Furyk broke the mark of seven which he shared<br />
with Julius Boros and Tiger Woods.<br />
Jim Furyk’s rounds of 66-68-71-70—275 extended<br />
his streak to 37 consecutive below-par rounds at<br />
the Buick Open. The only time that Furyk carded an<br />
above-par score at the Buick Open was a thirdround<br />
75 in 1997. Furyk has recorded par-or-better<br />
scores in 51 of 52 rounds at Warwick Hills G&CC.<br />
JIM FURYK<br />
The par-5 13th hole (544 yards) yielded 18 eagles<br />
during the 2007 Buick Open, marking the most<br />
eagles recorded on that hole since 1991 (19), when<br />
it was 490 yards.<br />
The par-4 15th at Warwick Hills played as the most<br />
difficult on the course with a stroke average of<br />
4.248. Since 1990, the 15th has played as the most<br />
difficult hole during the tournament week every<br />
year with the exception of 2003 and 1998, where it<br />
played as fourth most difficult and fifth most difficult,<br />
respectively.<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
John Deere Classic<br />
NOTES<br />
Jonathan Byrd earned a spot in the following<br />
week’s British Open via his position as low top-10<br />
finisher not already exempt. This marked the first<br />
time that the three-time <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> winner had<br />
competed in the British Open.<br />
Jonathan Byrd’s first-place check of $738,000<br />
moved him into first place on the all-time John<br />
Deere Classic money list with $1,096,772. 2002<br />
John Deere Classic champion J.P. Hayes moved<br />
from first to second with $1,091,199.<br />
Putting was the key for playing well at the John<br />
Deere Classic. Carl Pettersson, Nathan Green<br />
and Tim Clark finished in the top five in the tournament<br />
and Putting Average.<br />
NATHAN GREEN<br />
J.P. Hayes finished T15, the highest finish by a<br />
past champion at the John Deere Classic. It was<br />
the first year since 2001 that a past champion did<br />
not finish in the top-10.<br />
Runner-up Tim Clark needed to win in order to<br />
secure a spot in the British Open. By not doing so,<br />
Clark ended his streak of consecutive major championships<br />
played at 15.<br />
Since the tournament moved to TPC Deere Run in<br />
2000, five of the eight winners have come from<br />
behind after 54 holes to claim the title.<br />

NOTEWORTHY: Defending champion Tiger Woods was unable to<br />
win his third consecutive British Open title, finishing T12. Sergio<br />
Garcia was looking to become the first player to win a major championship<br />
wire-to-wire since Woods won the 2005 British Open at St.<br />
Andrews. The Garcia-Harrington playoff was the 18th in tournament<br />
history and the first since Todd Hamilton defeated Ernie Els in 2004.<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
British Open<br />
NOTES<br />
Padraig Harrington claimed his first major championship<br />
title in his 35th major start. It was his<br />
11th British Open appearance. In his British Open<br />
history, Harrington has made eight cuts and<br />
claimed three top-10 finishes.<br />
Padraig Harrington double-bogeyed just two<br />
holes all week; the par-4 18th hole in the second<br />
and final rounds. The 487-yard hole ranked secondmost<br />
difficult on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> in 2007.<br />
Padraig Harrington’s six-shot come-from-behind<br />
win was the British Open’s largest since Paul<br />
Lawrie’s victory in 1999 when he started the final<br />
round 10 strokes back, also at Carnoustie. Lawrie<br />
beat Jean Van de Velde and Justin Leonard in<br />
a playoff at Carnoustie.<br />
This year’s British Open site, Royal Birkdale Golf<br />
Club, will host its ninth British Open. St. Andrews<br />
has hosted the British Open 27 times, more often<br />
than any course. Previous winners at Birkdale<br />
include Peter Thomson (1954, 1965), Arnold<br />
Palmer (1961), Lee Trevino (1971), Johnny<br />
Miller (1976), Tom Watson (1983), Ian Baker-<br />
Finch (1991) and Mark O’Meara (1998).<br />

four-hole aggregate playoff last year, making a<br />
birdie, a bogey and two pars (even par) to Garcia’s<br />
bogey and three pars (1-over). There have been<br />

Greg Norman at Royal Troon. Mark O’Meara<br />
beat Brian Watts in the four-hole playoff format<br />
in 1998 at Royal Birkdale, the last British Open to<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
British Open<br />
NOTES<br />
With a scoring average of 2.381, Carnoustie Golf<br />
Club ranked as the fifth-toughest course on the<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> in 2007.<br />
The 2007 British Open was the eighth playoff of<br />
the 2007 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> season, and the first since<br />
Hunter Mahan defeated Jay Williamson on the<br />
first extra hole at the Travelers Championship one<br />
month prior.<br />
Hunter Mahan’s first <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> victory at the<br />
Travelers Championship in June ignited a string of<br />
solid finishes. In his next three events, Mahan<br />
never finished outside the top 10, including a T6 at<br />
the British Open. In his only other British Open<br />
appearances, 2004 and 2006, he finished T36 and<br />
T26, respectively.<br />
A missed cut in 2004 aside, Sergio Garcia has<br />
finished inside the top 10 at the British Open each<br />
year dating back to 2001.<br />
SERGIO GARCIA<br />
Defending champion Tiger Woods finished T12 in<br />
2007. Aside from a T68 in 1995, Woods has never<br />
finished worse than T28 in the British Open.<br />

2007 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
U.S. Bank Championship<br />
in Milwaukee<br />
NOTES<br />
Joe Ogilvie became the ninth player to make the<br />
U.S. Bank Championship his first <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> win.<br />
Ogilvie joined Dave Eichelberger (1971), Calvin<br />
Peete (1979), Mark O’Meara (1984), Jim Thorpe<br />
(1985), Jim Gallagher, Jr. (1990), Richard Zokol<br />
(1992), Billy Mayfair (1993) and Shigeki<br />
Maruyama (2001) as first-time winners in<br />
Milwaukee.<br />
Joe Ogilvie became the 10th consecutive U.S.<br />
Bank Championship winner to post four scores in<br />
the 60s. Ogilvie posted rounds of 67-63-69-67 to<br />
finish at 14-under-par 266. The last winner with a<br />
round in the 70s was Scott Hoch in 1997.<br />
In 2007, Heath Slocum (69-69-69-69) became only<br />
the fifth player in tournament history to card four<br />
identical scores. His four 69s and 4-under total netted<br />
a T22 finish. Others to shoot identical scores<br />
over the years include: Fred Marti (73s in 1977),<br />
Jay Haas (70s in 1978), Mike Nicolette (70s in<br />
1988) and Mark Weibe (68s in 1999).<br />
Jeff Brehaut set a record with four eagles last<br />
year, the most in tournament history since the<br />
event moved to Brown Deer Park GC in 1994.<br />
Brehaut’s eagles were even more impressive since<br />
they came on four different holes, including a par<br />
4. Four players had made three eagles in a tournament<br />
year – Mark Calcavecchia (1996), Tiger<br />
Woods (1996), Steve Lowery (1999) and Dicky<br />
Pride (2006).<br />
Richard S. Johnson was the first person off the<br />
tee in Sunday’s final round and played as a single.<br />
Johnson needed only 81 minutes to shoot an evenpar<br />
70. No official <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> records are kept as<br />
to the shortest time needed to complete 18 holes.<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
RBC Canadian Open<br />
NOTES<br />
The 2008 Canadian Open returns to Glen Abbey<br />
Golf Club, which has hosted the tournament 23<br />
times over the years. Glen Abbey first played host<br />
to the event in 1977, when Lee Trevino captured<br />
the title. The course was the site of 22 Canadian<br />
Opens in the 24-year period between 1977 and<br />
2000. The last time it was played at Glen Abbey<br />
was in 2004 when Vijay Singh won the tournament.<br />
Jim Furyk had a hole-in-one on the fourth hole<br />
during the final round in 2007. Furyk became only<br />
the second player since 1978 to make an ace in<br />
the final round and go on to win that event. Joey<br />
Sindelar had a hole-in-one on the 14th hole at En-<br />
Joie GC en route to the title at the 1985 B. C.<br />
Open. Furyk also had an ace (third round) at the<br />
2002 Memorial Tournament and went on to win<br />
that event.<br />
With his 13th career win at the 2007 Canadian<br />
Open, Jim Furyk tied David Duval for the second-most<br />
titles among Nationwide Tour alumni.<br />
Ernie Els tops the list with 15 career victories.<br />
Jim Furyk played the par-3 fourth hole 5-under<br />
par in 2007. Furyk made three birdies at the 205yard<br />
hole during the first three days and added an<br />
ace on Sunday. Runner-up Vijay Singh played the<br />
same hole 3-over for the four days.<br />
Jim Furyk, Vijay Singh, Bob Heintz and Tom<br />
Pernice, Jr. were the only players in the field to<br />
post four rounds in the 60s in 2007. They brought<br />
the all-time total to 38 players that have accomplished<br />
that feat in Canadian Open history, 12 of<br />
them in the past two years.<br />

NOTES<br />
HUNTER MAHAN<br />
Hunter Mahan tied the tournament record with a<br />
9-under 62 on the first day in 2007 and set a<br />
course record at Angus Glen North. Greg Norman<br />
(1986) was the last player to shoot a 62 in the<br />
Canadian Open, which came in the third round at<br />
Glen Abbey GC. Mahan’s 62 was also the lowest<br />
opening-round score in Canadian Open history.<br />
Hunter Mahan had three eagles en route to his<br />
first-round 62, including a pair of eagles on par 4s.<br />
Mahan holed a 6-iron and a sand wedge for his<br />
eagles on the par 4s. Tommy Tolles (1995 – Glen<br />
Abbey GC) was the last player to make three<br />
eagles in a round at the Canadian Open.<br />
Jim Furyk’s win marked the 12th time in the past<br />
13 years that an American has won the Canadian<br />
Open. Vijay Singh of Fiji (2004) is the only non-<br />
American to win since South Africa’s Nick Price<br />
won in 1994.<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Regular Season<br />
Wyndham Championship<br />
NOTES<br />
The Wyndham Championship was the final tournament<br />
of 36 Regular Season events on the 2007<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> schedule and the last chance for players<br />
to get into the top 144 and earn a berth in the<br />
inaugural <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup.<br />
Jeff Overton (T2), Shigeki Maruyama (T7) and<br />
Anders Hansen (T11) used strong finishes to<br />
move into the top 144 and qualify for The Barclays,<br />
the first playoff event.<br />
JEFF OVERTON<br />
Brandt Snedeker became the first rookie to win<br />
on the 2007 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> when he captured the 2007<br />
Wyndham Championship and the first since Troy<br />
Matteson won the 2006 Frys.com Open in Las<br />
Vegas. The former Vanderbilt University All-<br />
America also became the first come-from-behind<br />
winner in Greensboro since 1998 when Trevor<br />
Dodds rallied in the final round and beat Scott<br />
Verplank in a playoff.<br />
The win for Brandt Snedeker moved him from<br />
No. 26 to No. 9 on the FedExCup points list at the<br />
time. Snedeker eventually finished No. 20 on the<br />
final FedExCup points list.<br />
Since 1976, only three first-round leaders have<br />
gone on to win in Greensboro – Danny Edwards<br />
(1982), Mike Springer (1984) and Jesper<br />
Parnevik (1999).<br />
The first-round scoring average of 69.718 was the<br />
lowest single-round scoring average at Forest Oaks<br />
Country Club. The previous low was 69.961 in the<br />
third round in 2005.<br />
Tournament Record:<br />
265, Jesper Parnevik, 1999<br />
Current Course Record:<br />
62, Davis Love III, 1992; Mark O’Meara, 1996; Jeff Maggert, 1999<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup<br />
The Barclays<br />
NOTES<br />
With his win at the 2007 Barclays in the first-ever<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup event, Steve<br />
Stricker collected 9,000 FedExCup points to move<br />
into first on the FedExCup points list with 104,950<br />
points. Tiger Woods, who did not play, fell from<br />
first to fourth with 100,000 points, setting up a<br />
grouping of Woods, Phil Mickelson (5th) and<br />
Vijay Singh (6th) for the first two rounds of the<br />
following week’s Deutsche Bank Championship.<br />
Steve Stricker’s fourth career victory at the 2007<br />
Barclays came in his 312th career start on the <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> at age 40 years, six months and three days.<br />
Stricker’s victory came in his 148th start since his<br />
last victory at the 2001 World Golf Championships-<br />
Accenture Match Play Championship.<br />
Westchester Country Club will be the host site<br />
again this year, followed by the new Liberty<br />
National Golf Club, which overlooks Manhattan<br />
and the Statue of Liberty, in 2009.<br />
Only two players (Doug LaBelle II and Rich<br />
Beem) from outside the top 120 were able to<br />
advance to the Deutsche Bank Championship.<br />
LaBelle, a rookie, advanced thanks to a birdie on<br />
the 72nd hole and finished T41 to move from No.<br />
121 to No. 120. He edged Steve Allan by 25<br />
points. Beem made a large jump from No. 134 to<br />
No. 113 with a T7 finish.<br />
The cumulative 72-hole scoring average of 70.900<br />
in 2007 was the lowest average at Westchester<br />
Country Club since 1983, when the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
began tracking course scoring averages. The previous<br />
low was 71.351 in 2004.<br />
The par-4 12th maintained its reputation in 2007<br />
with a scoring average of 4.251, making it the<br />
most difficult hole at Westchester Country Club for<br />
the 10th straight year.<br />

BMW Championship<br />
NOTES<br />
Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, the site of the<br />
1965 U.S. Open (won by Gary Player) and 1992<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> Championship (won by Nick Price), is the<br />
site for the 2008 BMW Championship. Bellerive<br />
was also scheduled to be the site of the 2001<br />
World Golf Championships-American Express<br />
Championship (now the CA Championship) but was<br />
canceled because of the Sept. 11 attacks. Cog Hill<br />
in Chicago, currently undergoing a renovation by<br />
Rees Jones, will be the host course again from<br />
2009-2011. Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, IN,<br />
where the 1991 <strong>PGA</strong> Championship was played,<br />
will be the site in 2012.<br />
Tiger Woods re-gained the lead in the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
Playoffs for the FedExCup with his win last year.<br />
Woods took over the lead from Steve Stricker<br />
heading into THE <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship, which he<br />
also won.<br />
With his four rounds in the 60s, Tiger Woods<br />
shattered by five strokes the 72-hole tournament<br />
record of 267 set by Scott Hoch (2001) and tied<br />
by Woods in 2003.<br />
Tiger Woods has played in the BMW Championship<br />
12 times and has four victories. In each of his four<br />
wins, Woods has posted an opening-round score in<br />
the 60s, including a 67 to begin last year’s tournament.<br />
In his eight non-winning appearances, Woods<br />
opened with a score in the 70s.<br />

2008 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup<br />
BMW Championship<br />
NOTES<br />
Top-10 finishes by a trio of players in Chicago<br />
moved them into the top-30 on the FedExCup<br />
points list and into THE <strong>TOUR</strong> Championship in<br />
Atlanta, the fourth and final event in the <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> Playoffs for the FedExCup. Stewart Cink<br />
(T7) jumped from No. 32 to No. 23, Tim Clark (T5)<br />
moved from No. 33 to No. 27 and Camilo<br />
Villegas (T7) moved from No. 34 to No. 28. The<br />
three displaced Jerry Kelly, Luke Donald and<br />
Arron Oberholser from the top-30 list.<br />
STEWART CINK<br />
The 2007 final-round scoring average of 69.138<br />
was the lowest final-round average in tournament<br />
history. Prior to 2007, no single-round scoring average<br />
had ever dipped into the 60s. Last year produced<br />
three of the four lowest all-time scoring<br />
averages, including a 69.292 average in the third<br />
round.<br />
Tiger Woods continued his dominance at Cog Hill<br />
last year with his fourth title, tying him with Billy<br />
Casper and Willie Anderson on the tournament’s<br />
all-time list. Walter Hagen won five times<br />
between 1916 and 1932. In his 10 professional<br />
starts at the BMW Championship, Woods has<br />
made 10 cuts, with four victories and eight top-10<br />
finishes.<br />
Tiger Woods’ 63 on Sunday last year matched the<br />
best final-round score of his career. Woods has<br />
posted 63s on the last day five times in his career,<br />
but his late heroics only propelled him to victory<br />
twice – 2006 Deutsche Bank Championship and<br />
the 2007 BMW Championship.<br />

Cola multiple times when he won the 2007 title<br />
at East Lake Golf Club. Woods also won the<br />

2007 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Fall Series<br />
Viking Classic<br />
NOTES<br />
Chad Campbell came into the week ranked 160th<br />
on the 2007 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> in Greens in Regulation.<br />
The Texas native finished the Viking Classic ranked<br />
first in Greens in Regulation for the week (58 of<br />
72; 80.56 percent).<br />
Chad Campbell became the third consecutive<br />
winner on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> to lead the event in<br />
Greens in Regulation (Tiger Woods – THE <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
Championship presented by Coca-Cola; Steve<br />
Flesch – Turning Stone Resort Championship).<br />
Chad Campbell became the first player in the last<br />
10 years to win the Viking Classic after not playing<br />
in the final pairing on Sunday.<br />
Chad Campbell tied Rory Sabbatini (Crowne<br />
Plaza Invitational at Colonial) for the largest 36hole<br />
comeback to date on the 2007 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
after trailing by eight strokes through 36 holes.<br />
RORY SABBATINI<br />
Chad Campbell tied the lowest single-round<br />
score for a Viking Classic winner since the event<br />
moved to Annandale Golf Club in 1994 (Third<br />
Round, 64).<br />
The cumulative scoring average of 71.975 in 2007<br />
was the highest in tournament history since the<br />
event moved from Hattiesburg CC to Annandale CC<br />
in 1994. The previous high was 71.902, which was<br />
set last year.<br />

Valero Texas Open<br />
NOTES<br />
Justin Leonard’s earnings at the Valero Texas<br />
Open are $2,222,328, making him the first player<br />
to earn more than $2 million at the event.<br />
Justin Leonard defeated Jesper Parnevik on<br />
the third hole of a sudden-death playoff in 2007. It<br />
was the first playoff since 1999 when Duffy<br />
Waldorf defeated Ted Tryba. It was the 11th<br />
playoff in the history of the event and the first<br />
playoff that was extended to three holes in San<br />
Antonio.<br />
3-88<br />
DUFFY WALDORF<br />
Justin Leonard won in come-from-behind fashion<br />
in 2007 for the sixth time in his 11 career <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
victories. That included coming from five strokes<br />
behind third-round leader Jesper Parnevik to win<br />
his first major championship, the 1997 British<br />
Open. Leonard has also come from five strokes<br />
back in the final round to win three of those five<br />
come-from-behind titles. The largest come-frombehind<br />
victory in San Antonio came when Bruce<br />
Crampton came from six strokes back to defeat<br />
Bob Charles and Chi Chi Rodriguez in the 1964<br />
event.<br />
Justin Leonard made two bogeys for the week<br />
last year when he won for the third time at<br />
LaCantera. Both bogeys came at the par-4 10th<br />
hole. The first bogey came on his first hole of the<br />
week in the first round and the second came in the<br />
final round.<br />

event at the 2007 Children’s Miracle Network<br />

Children’s Miracle Network Classic in their 40s:<br />
Raymond Floyd in 1986 (44 years, 1 month, 15<br />

JOE DURANT<br />
Stephen Ames (native of Trinidad & Tobago,<br />
Canadian citizen) became the third international<br />
winner of the Children’s Miracle Network Classic,<br />
joining Argentina’s Jose Coceres (2001) and Fiji’s<br />
Vijay Singh (2003).<br />
Stephen Ames’ final-round 68 in 2007 was the<br />
highest final-round score by a winner at the<br />
Children’s Miracle Network Classic since Jose<br />
Coceres closed with a 68 in 2001. His 72-hole<br />
winning score of 17-under-par 271 was the highest<br />
winning score since 1999 when Tiger Woods won<br />
with an identical total of 17-under 271.<br />
Tim Clark’s runner-up finish in 2007 was his<br />
fourth top-10 finish in five starts at the Children’s<br />
Miracle Network Classic (T10-2005, T6-2004, T6-<br />
2002). The finish in 2007 marked Clark’s fifth runner-up<br />
finish since 2005 and his third of the 2007<br />
season.<br />

2007 OMEGA Mission Hills<br />
World Cup<br />
SCOTLAND<br />
NOTES<br />
The United States team of Boo Weekley and<br />
Heath Slocum needed a birdie-3 on the 72nd hole<br />
in 2007 to force a playoff with Scotland’s Colin<br />
Montgomerie and Marc Warren, who had completed<br />
play at 25-under 263 after a final-round 66.<br />
In the alternate shot format, Weekley hit an 8-iron<br />
from 173 yards to within 6 feet and Slocum made<br />
the putt, forcing extra holes. The United States’<br />
best chance in the playoff came on the first extra<br />
hole when Scotland needed a 12-foot, par-saving<br />
putt by Warren to keep its hopes alive. Warren<br />
made his putt and watched as Slocum’s 10-foot<br />
birdie putt to win stopped within an inch of the cup.<br />

NOTES<br />
The United States team of Boo Weekley and<br />
Heath Slocum failed in their attempt to do something<br />
that hadn’t been accomplished in the past<br />
seven years of this event – lead wire-to-wire.<br />
Weekley and Slocum led by one shot after each of<br />
the first three days.<br />

The format for the 2007 event called for Four-ball<br />
(better ball) in the first and third rounds and<br />
Foursomes (alternate shot) in the second and final<br />
rounds.<br />
The lowest Four-ball score in tournament history is<br />
15-under 57 set by Argentina’s Angel Cabrera<br />
and Eduardo Romero and New Zealand’s Frank<br />
Nobilo and Greg Turner in the opening round of<br />
2000. The United States team of Phil Mickelson<br />
and David Toms also posted a 57 in the third<br />
round in 2002.<br />
John Jay Hopkins, a noted Canadian industrialist<br />
and scholar, had a dream that the game of golf<br />
could promote goodwill between nations all over<br />
the world, and thus founded the International Golf<br />
Association and with it a tournament called the<br />
Canada Cup in 1953. The tournament toured the<br />
world and in 1967, to reflect its international<br />
image, it became the World Cup.<br />

AMES<br />
NOTES<br />
With $650,000 at stake on No. 18, Stephen Ames<br />
knocked his 7-foot birdie putt into the center of the<br />
cup to win the 2007 LG Skins Game. The only other<br />
hole he won was the first, a day earlier. Taking the<br />
title for the second year in a row, Ames finished<br />
with nine skins and $675,000 of the $1-million<br />
purse.<br />
Five-time champion Fred Couples, playing in the 25year-old<br />
tournament for the 14th time, also won nine<br />
skins in 2007, pocketing $325,000 to push his career<br />
earnings in the event to more than $4.2 million.<br />
Masters champion Zach Johnson and Brett<br />
Wetterich, making their LG Skins Game debuts,<br />
were shut out.<br />

NOTES<br />
Along with the Willie Park belts and the $200,000<br />
check that goes to the winning team, another benefit<br />
to winning the Del Webb Father/Son Challenge<br />
is an invitation to return the following year. That<br />
means barring injury or other unforeseen happenings,<br />
Team Nelson will be back as defending<br />
champions in 2008, albeit with a different look.<br />
Drew Nelson, who teamed with his dad to win the<br />
2004 title, will return.<br />
Team Nelson’s winning score of 60-60—120 (24under)<br />
marks the third consecutive year that score<br />
earned its bearers the Willie Park Trophy. The margin<br />
of victory is the largest since Larry and Drew<br />
Nelson won by three and it makes Larry Nelson the<br />
second father to win with two different sons, joining<br />
Raymond Floyd, who won three consecutive<br />
with Ray Jr. and two consecutive with Robert.<br />
After blowing through ChampionsGate the last two<br />
years with back-to-back 59-61—120s, Team<br />
Langer (Bernhard and son Stefan) finally ran out of<br />
gas in their quest for the second three-peat in event<br />
history. The Langers followed Saturday’s 64 with a<br />
63 (17-under), winding up 10th and ending their<br />
chances of joining Raymond and Ray Floyd Jr.<br />
(1995-97).<br />

From Left to Right: 2007 CA Championship winner Tiger Woods; 2007 Accenture Match Play Championship winner Henrik Stenson; 2007 Bridgestone Invitational winner Tiger Woods<br />
At the 1996 Presidents Cup, golf’s five world governing<br />
bodies—the European Tour, Japan Golf Tour Organization, <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong>, <strong>PGA</strong> Tour of Australasia and Sunshine Tour—reached<br />
agreement on several key elements of professional golf designed<br />
to create new international events, beginning in 1999.<br />
Three major initiatives were outlined at the Robert Trent<br />
Jones Golf Club, site of the second Presidents Cup:<br />
• Formation of the International Federation of <strong>PGA</strong> Tours;<br />
• A structure for a generally accepted worldwide ranking system;<br />
• Joint sanctioning by the members of the International Federation of <strong>PGA</strong><br />
Tours of significant competitions, including some at the world championship<br />
level for the game’s top players.<br />
Those “significant competitions” were announced in October 1997 when the<br />
Federation introduced the World Golf Championships. The World Golf<br />
Championships were developed to enhance the competitive structure of<br />
professional golf worldwide while preserving the traditions and strengths of the<br />
individual Tours and their events.<br />
The first three jointly sanctioned championships—the Accenture Match Play<br />
Championship, the NEC Invitational (now Bridgestone Invitational) and the<br />
American Express Championship (now CA Championship)—were launched in<br />
1999 with Jeff Maggert winning the first event and Tiger Woods the latter two.<br />
The addition of the World Cup was announced in December 1999 and was<br />
played as a World Golf Championships event from 2000-06.<br />

<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> 2008 Guide<br />
The 2008 Wolf Golf Championships will begin in February with<br />
the Accenture Match Play Championship at The Gallery Golf Club at<br />
Dove Mountain in Marana, Arizona. In March, the CA Championship<br />
will be held at Doral Golf Resort & Spa's Blue Course in Doral,<br />
Florida. In July, the Bridgestone Invitational returns to the South<br />
Course at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio.<br />
The World Golf Championships’ events feature players from<br />
around the world competing against one another in varied formats.<br />
World Golf Championships’ events have been contested on five continents and<br />
in nine countries and feature some of the largest purses in professional golf.<br />
The Asian Tour joined the International Federation of <strong>PGA</strong> Tours as a fullfledged<br />
member in November 1999, while the Canadian Tour was named an<br />
associate member in March 2000. The Tour de las Americas joined the<br />
Federation as an associate member in 2007.<br />
Accenture, Bridgestone and CA are the umbrella sponsors of the World Golf<br />
Championships. Kohler and Rolex are official sponsors.<br />
Fields for the World Golf Championships are filled primarily through the<br />
Official World Golf Ranking, which is endorsed by all the sport’s major<br />
professional organizations and governing bodies, and individual Tours’ Official<br />

The eighth Presidents Cup will be<br />
contested at Harding Park Golf Course in<br />
San Francisco in 2009. Royal Melbourne<br />
Golf Club in Australia will host the event<br />
in 2011, becoming the first golf course<br />
outside the United States to host The<br />
Presidents Cup more than once.<br />
History<br />
The Presidents Cup was developed to give the world’s best non-European<br />
players an opportunity to compete in international team match-play competition.<br />
A biennial event played in non-Ryder Cup years, the first Presidents Cup<br />
was played Sept. 16-18, 1994, at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. The U.S. Team,<br />
captained by Hale Irwin, defeated Captain David Graham’s International side,<br />
20-12. The U.S. Team retained The Cup in 1996, but the Internationals scored<br />
their only outright win in The Presidents Cup during the following staging, in<br />
1998 in Australia. In 2000, the U.S. Team avenged the loss with an impressive<br />
11-point victory over the Internationals, taking their record to 3-1-0.<br />
The 2003 Presidents Cup was originally scheduled for November 2002,<br />
but was postponed one year in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist<br />
attacks on the United States. Played at The Links at Fancourt Hotel and<br />
Country Club Estate in George, South Africa, the competition ended in a tie.<br />
After both teams completed regulation tied at 17 points, Ernie Els of the<br />
International Team and Tiger Woods of the U.S. were designated to represent<br />
their teams in a sudden-death playoff. After three playoff holes, and as<br />
darkness was descending, Captains Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus, in the<br />
spirit of the competition, decided that the two teams would share the Cup.<br />
The 2005 Presidents Cup, played for a fourth time at the Robert Trent<br />
Jones Golf Club in Prince William County, VA, came down to the final hole.<br />
When American Chris DiMarco birdied the 18th hole in Sunday’s singles to<br />
defeat Stuart Appleby, 1-up, he gave the Americans an 181 /2-151 /2 victory.<br />
The U. S. wrapped up its fifth Presidents Cup in seven tries at Royal<br />
Montreal Golf club in 2007 with a 191 /2-141 /2 victory, the U.S. Team's first at an<br />
international venue in 14 years of team competition. David Toms earned the most<br />
points for the U.S. Team, while Woody Austin earned several new nicknames<br />
after falling into the lake on hole 14 while attempting a shot. And while his team<br />
did not win, Canadian golf hero Mike Weir thrilled the crowds with a 1-up victory<br />
over World No. 1 Tiger Woods in Sunday's Singles competition.<br />
Former U.S. President Gerald Ford presided over the first Presidents Cup<br />
as Honorary Chairman. Former President George H.W. Bush, like Ford an avid<br />
golfer, served as Honorary Chairman for the 1996 Presidents Cup. Australian<br />
Prime Minister John Howard was Honorary Chairman for the 1998 event. In<br />
2000, President Bill Clinton made history when he became the first sitting<br />
4-4<br />
The Presidents Cup<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> 2008 Guide<br />
president to serve as Honorary Chairman. In 2003, Thabo Mbeki, President of<br />
the Republic of South Africa, was Honorary Chairman. Current President<br />
George W. Bush served as the Honorary Chairman of the 2005 Presidents Cup,<br />
and Canadian Primte Minister Stephen Harper was the 2007 Honorary<br />
Chairman.<br />
The Presidents Cup follows the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> creed of giving back. There is no<br />
purse for the players. Net revenues are divided into equal shares that the players<br />
and captains designate for charities or golf-related projects of their choice.<br />
Contributions in their names are made through <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Charities, Inc. The first<br />
seven Presidents Cups generated more than $17 million for charities worldwide.<br />
Eligibility<br />
Members of the 2009 U.S. Team will be selected based on official<br />
earnings from the start of the 2008 season through the 2009 <strong>PGA</strong><br />
Championship. International Team players for the 2009 Presidents Cup will be<br />
chosen on the basis of the Official World Golf Ranking, and does not include<br />
players eligible for the European Ryder Cup Team.<br />
The eligibility rankings are used to select 10 members for both squads.<br />
The 12-man teams are rounded out by two Captain’s Choices per team.<br />
Structure and Scoring<br />
The Presidents Cup competition consists of 34 matches—11 Foursomes<br />
(alternate shot) and 11 Four-ball (better ball) matches. There are 12 Singles<br />
matches involving all players on the final Sunday. All matches are worth one<br />
point each, for a total of 34 points. There are no playoffs for Foursomes or<br />
Four-ball, with each side receiving 1 /2 point if the match finishes all-square<br />
after 18 holes. Singles matches all square after 18 holes will go to extra holes<br />
until a team winner is determined. In a change inspired by the events of the<br />
2003 Presidents Cup, if the match is deadlocked at the end of Singles play, the<br />
competition will be deemed a tie and the teams will share The Presidents Cup.<br />

(The United States leads the series, 24-10-2.)<br />
The <strong>PGA</strong> of America revised its points system in late 2006 that will determine the top<br />
eight players for the 2008 United States Ryder Cup Team. The number of Captain's<br />
selections to complete the team increased from two to four players.<br />
The new points system began with golf’s four major championships in 2007 and<br />
resumes Jan. 1 through Aug. 11, 2008.<br />
The points will be based upon the following:<br />
• Prize money earned in the 2007 major championships (Masters, U.S. Open,<br />
British Open and <strong>PGA</strong> Championship – one point for every $1,000 earned).<br />
• Prize money earned in official events in 2008 from Jan. 1 through Aug. 11<br />
(one point for every $1,000 earned, excluding the major championships and<br />
events played opposite major championships and opposite World Golf<br />
Championships).<br />
• Prize money earned in the 2008 major championships (Masters, U.S. Open,<br />
British Open, <strong>PGA</strong> Championship (two points for every $1,000 earned).<br />

Paul Azinger and Nick Faldo<br />
Ryder Cup Captains<br />
• Paul Azinger, the 1993 <strong>PGA</strong> Championship<br />
winner and a 12-time <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> winner, will<br />
captain the 2008 United States Ryder Cup Team<br />
at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, KY. Azinger,<br />
who turned 47 on Jan. 6, 2007, was named<br />
captain in late 2006.<br />
• Nick Faldo, 50, a World Golf Hall of Fame<br />
member and current GOLF CHANNEL and CBS<br />
analyst, will captain the 2008 European Team.<br />
• Prize money earned in 2008 events played opposite the major<br />
championships and opposite World Golf Championships events between<br />
Jan. 1 and Aug. 11 (one-half point for every $1,000 earned).<br />
• With the 2006 points system having been in effect prior to the 2008 points<br />
system being announced, it was determined that all U.S. players who<br />
finished in the top 10 in all official events from Aug. 27-Nov. 5, 2006 will be<br />
awarded one-quarter point for every $1,000 earned.<br />
• The Captain's announcement by Paul Azinger of his four selections will be<br />
made after the 2008 <strong>PGA</strong> Championship.<br />
• The European Team qualifying system will remain the same as in 2004 and<br />
2006. Five players will again qualify through The Ryder Cup World Points List,<br />
based on Official World Golf Ranking points accumulated from all worldranked<br />
tournaments over a 12-month period, with a further five earning<br />
places on the European Team through The Ryder Cup European Points List,<br />
based on money won in European Tour Order of Merit tournaments.<br />
European Team Captain Nick Faldo will select two Captain’s Picks.<br />

<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> 2008 Guide<br />
<strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.COM
The Official World Golf Ranking, which is<br />
endorsed by the four major championships and<br />
six professional Tours that make up the<br />
International Federation of <strong>PGA</strong> Tours, is issued<br />
every Monday following the completion of the<br />
previous week’s tournaments from around the<br />
world.<br />
Results from events on the world’s leading professional tours—the Asian<br />
Tour, <strong>PGA</strong> Tour of Australasia, European Tour, Japan Golf Tour, <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>,<br />
Nationwide Tour, Sunshine Tour, Canadian Tour and European Challenge Tour—<br />
are evaluated, and points are awarded according to the players’ finishing<br />
positions. Tournaments are “rated” according to the strength of field based on<br />
the number and ranking of the world’s top 200 players in respective tournament<br />
fields (event “ratings”).<br />
In addition, some strength-of-field weighting is given to the inclusion in<br />
each field of a significant percentage of the top 30 on the host Tour’s prior year<br />
Official Money Lists. The four major championships and THE PLAYERS<br />
Championship are rated separately to reflect the higher field quality of the<br />
events. In addition, the BMW Championship in Europe and the Australian,<br />
Japanese and South African Open Championships, the Nationwide Tour<br />
Championship and Volvo Masters of Asia are allocated higher minimum point<br />
levels to reflect their status as each Tour’s flagship event.<br />
The Official World Golf Ranking points for each player are accumulated<br />
over a two-year “rolling” period. Each player then is ranked according to his<br />
average points per tournament, which is determined by dividing his total number<br />
of points by the tournaments he has played over that two-year period. There is<br />
a minimum requirement of 40 tournaments for the two-year period.<br />
Official World Golf Ranking<br />
<strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.COM <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> 2008 Guide<br />
The winners of the Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, British Open and <strong>PGA</strong><br />
Championship are awarded 100 points (60 points for second place, 40 for third,<br />
30 for fourth, down to 1.5 points for a player completing the final round), and the<br />
winner of THE PLAYERS Championship is awarded 80 points (points are<br />
awarded down to 60th place).<br />
The BMW Championship has a minimum of 64 points for the winner<br />
(points down to 56th place). In addition, the Open Championships of Australia,<br />
Japan and South Africa have a minimum of 32 points for the winner (points<br />
awarded down to 37th place). The Nationwide Tour Championship and Volvo<br />
Masters of Asia winners receive 20 points (points awarded down to 22nd place).<br />
Minimum points levels for winners of all the other official Tour events have<br />
been set at six points for the Canadian Tour; 12 points for the European<br />
Challenge (points to 14th place); 14 points for the Nationwide Tour, Sunshine<br />
Tour, and Asian Tour (points to 17th place); 16 points for Australasia and Japan<br />
(points to 19th place); and 24 points for Europe and the United States (points to<br />
27th place).<br />
In January 2007, a new feature was added to the ranking system. Points<br />
entered by a player in a particular tournament maintain their full value for 13<br />
weeks then are devalued by 1.1% each of the next 91 weeks before dropping<br />
completely off a player’s 2-year record, thereby cutting the sudden and<br />
sometimes dramatic impact of the reduction of points that previously occurred<br />
at the 13-week anniversaries of events in which players earn points. Full<br />
Ranking points are awarded for tournaments reduced to 54 holes because of<br />
inclement weather or other reasons. For events completing only 36 holes,<br />
Ranking points are reduced by 25 percent.<br />
The Official World Golf Ranking is available each week at <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> sites<br />

Mark H. McCormack Award<br />
The Mark H. McCormack Award has been presented annually since 1998 to the player who holds the<br />
No. 1 position on the Official World Golf Ranking for the greatest number of weeks in each calendar<br />
year. Tiger Woods has won the award every year since its inception. He held the top position for all<br />
of 2007. The award was created in 1998 by the Governing Board of the Official World Golf Ranking to<br />
honor McCormack for the significant role he played in founding a world ranking system for<br />
professional golf. McCormack founded IMG, a premier worldwide sports and lifestyle management<br />
and marketing firm in the early 1960s. He passed away May 16, 2003. McCormack was inducted into<br />
the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2006.<br />

Driving Distance<br />
The average number of yards per measured drive. Driving distance is measured<br />
on two holes per round. Care is taken to select holes which face in opposite<br />
directions to counteract the effects of wind. Drives are measured to the point<br />
they come to rest, regardless of whether they are in the fairway or not.<br />
Driving Accuracy<br />
The percentage of time a player is able to hit the fairway with his tee shot.<br />
Greens in Regulation<br />
The percentage of time a player was able to hit the green in regulation (greens<br />
hit in regulation/holes played). Note: A green is considered hit in regulation if<br />
any part of the ball is touching the putting surface and the number of strokes<br />
taken is two less than par or fewer.<br />
Putting Average<br />
Measures putting performance on greens hit in regulation. For each green hit<br />
in regulation, the total number of putts is divided by the number of greens hit<br />
in regulation. By using greens hit in regulation, we are able to eliminate the<br />
effects of chipping close and one-putting in the computation.<br />

Total Driving<br />
Total Driving is computed by totaling a player’s rank in driving distance and<br />
driving accuracy.<br />
Eagles (holes per)<br />
The average number of holes between each eagle.<br />
Birdie Leaders<br />
The average number of birdies made per round played.<br />
Sand Saves Percentage<br />
The percentage of time a player is able to get up and down once in a greenside<br />
sand bunker. Note: This up and down is computed regardless of score on<br />
the hole.<br />
All Around<br />
This statistic is computed by totaling a player's rank in each of the following<br />

The Byron Nelson Award is based on each player’s adjusted scoring average.<br />
The adjusted score is computed from the average score of the field at each<br />
tournament. As a result, a player’s score may be higher or lower than his<br />
actual score. Actual scoring average was used to determine the scoring<br />
leader prior to 1988.<br />
In order to qualify for the Byron Nelson Award, a player must compete in a<br />
minimum of 50 official rounds on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>.<br />

<strong>PGA</strong> Player of the Year Vardon Trophy<br />
The <strong>PGA</strong> Player of the Year Award is given by the <strong>PGA</strong> of America to the<br />
top <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> player based on a mathematical formula that weighs tournament<br />
wins, official money standing and scoring average.<br />
The point system for selecting the Player of the Year was amended in<br />
1982, as follows: 30 points for winning the <strong>PGA</strong> Championship, U.S. Open,<br />
British Open or Masters Tournament; 20 points for winning THE PLAYERS<br />
Championship; 10 points for winning all other designated <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> events.<br />
In addition, there is a 50-point bonus for winning two majors, 75-point bonus<br />
for winning three, 100-point bonus for winning four.<br />
For top-10 finishes on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>'s official money list and scoring average<br />
list, the point value is: first, 20 points, then 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2.<br />
Any incomplete rounds in the scoring average list will result in a .10 penalty<br />
per incomplete round.<br />

<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Retail Licensing continues to expand its business base and the<br />
scope of the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s brand presence in the consumer marketplace throughout<br />
the world with over 70 domestic (U.S.) and over 20 international licensees. <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> Retail Licensing manages its licensee relationships with the assistance<br />
of licensing agents for the U.S. and the rest of the world (except Japan), and<br />
has a master licensee in Japan<br />
Domestic highlights include the opening of two additional <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
Superstores, bringing the total to 10. This licensee is revolutionizing the golf<br />
retail industry through its network of 65,000-75,000 square foot <strong>TOUR</strong>-branded<br />
stores it plans to build across the U.S. with a focus on service, education and<br />
good value. There are two stores in Myrtle Beach, SC, four in suburban Atlanta,<br />
two in Dallas and two new stores in the Phoenix, AZ, area.<br />
Our apparel licensee, Perry Ellis International, continues to expand the presence<br />
of <strong>TOUR</strong>-branded apparel in JC Penney and other fine stores. In February<br />
of 2007, PEI launched the Champions Tour line of apparel in over 200 Macy’s<br />
stores and will expand distribution in 2008.<br />
The Paradies Shops, licensee for the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Airport Shops throughout<br />
the U.S., continues the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s retail presence in this well-targeted environment.<br />
Each year, over 200 million travelers pass by these 43 shops in 38 airports.<br />
The <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Grill, a restaurant appealing to the “upper casual” market,<br />
opened in suburban Washington, D.C. in March 2006. Based on a successful<br />
completion of a year-long market test, there is the possibility of additional locations<br />
in 2008. In late 2006, the <strong>TOUR</strong> announced two new exciting licenses: <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> Ticket-to-Golf! (prepaid gift tickets for a round of golf at over 2,000 courses<br />
throughout the U.S.) and <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Experiences (all-inclusive vacations).<br />
Internationally, <strong>TOUR</strong>-branded merchandise continues to grow as consumer<br />
products of choice in golf retail, and our licensee base throughout the U.K.,<br />
Europe and Asia continues to progress. We welcome the addition of Global<br />
Brands Group, our new international licensing agency. GBG will handle all<br />
international licensing except for Japan. The <strong>TOUR</strong>’s Japanese master licensee,<br />
Bonmax (Pro Tour, Inc.), has successfully expanded the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s brand presence<br />
at retail and has well over 500 <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> “shop in shops” at this time.<br />

Making a positive impact on the communities where<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> tournaments are held and players live is a sure<br />
sign that the golf organization’s charitable mission is a<br />
continuing success story all around the world.<br />
This effort was celebrated in late 2005 when the <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong> and its tournaments reached the “Drive to a Billion”<br />
milestone. That cumulative effect, since the first donation<br />
in 1938, has reached more than $1.2 billion entering 2008.<br />
The forecast is for the second billion-dollar mark to be reached in the next five<br />
to seven years. <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour events annually<br />
benefit more than 2,000 charities and countless individuals worldwide.<br />
“Thanks to the incredible generosity of the tournaments, players, fans, volunteers<br />
and business partners who support the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, our goal of giving<br />
back continues to be our main focus,” <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Commissioner Tim Finchem<br />
said. “We are inspired by the continued enthusiasm for giving that ensures more<br />
and more assistance is generated for those in need around the world.”<br />
Structure<br />
Unlike any other professional sport, the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> relies on more than<br />
80,000 volunteers a year to run its events, and nearly all of the 100-plus tournaments<br />
are structured as non-profit organizations designed to donate 100 percent<br />
of net proceeds to local charities. Beneficiaries include a wide variety of<br />
local organizations such as hospitals, youth-development organizations,<br />
growth-of-the-game programs and food banks.<br />
The beneficiaries include the 2006 Charities of the Year on each of the Tours<br />
– Any Baby Can in San Antonio, TX (Valero Texas Open on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>), The<br />
Corner Table in Newton, NC (Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn on the<br />
Champions Tour) and Rochester Golf Charities in Rochester, MN, (2006<br />
Showdown at Somerby on the Nationwide Tour). The impact is also made by volunteers<br />
such as the 2006 Volunteers of the Year on the respective Tours – Marty<br />
Sheets of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>’s Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, NC, Joe<br />
McDonald at the Champions Tour’s Turtle Bay Championship in Hawaii and Oran<br />
Culberson at the Nationwide Tour’s Knoxville Open (Tennessee).<br />
Tournaments<br />
Tournaments provide the leadership. The Valero Texas Open on the <strong>PGA</strong><br />
<strong>TOUR</strong>, the Toshiba Classic, 3M Championship and Wal-Mart First Tee Open at<br />
Pebble Beach on the Champions Tour and the Albertsons Boise Open and BMW<br />
Charity Pro-Am on the Nationwide Tour provided the largest donations to charity<br />
in 2007 on each Tour.<br />
The EDS Byron Nelson Championship continued its high level of giving<br />
by totaling more than $100 million cumulatively. The FBR Open in Phoenix<br />
raised $7.8 million in 2007, topped only by the Valero Texas Open’s record $8<br />
million in giving for the year.<br />

Charity: Giving Back...The Heart of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
In the communities where tournaments take place, giving<br />
back remains at the heart of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>.<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> 2008 Guide<br />
In The Presidents Cup, there is no purse, yet revenues are divided into<br />
equal shares that the participating players and Captains designate for charities<br />
of their choice, totaling more than $17 million in the seven playings of the event.<br />
“This heartfelt response year after year is a tribute to the players, tournaments<br />
and thousands of volunteers who make <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> events so successful,”<br />
said Ollie Nutt, Chairman of the Tournament Advisory Council. “We<br />
look forward to continuing the tradition of making a true difference for organizations<br />
and in peoples’ lives in cities where we play.”<br />
Players<br />
Players also reach out to help considerably through charitable efforts in<br />
their home communities and elsewhere.<br />
Support of the United States military was quite evident in 2007. The inaugural<br />
AT&T National in Bethesda, MD, over the Fourth of July weekend honored<br />
the United States military by offering free admission to all military personnel<br />
and holding various events around the tournament. Host Tiger Woods<br />
paid tribute to his late father, Earl, a Green Beret veteran, by focusing on those<br />
who serve our country through various activities.<br />
“I think that when you're around it, you understand the level of commitment,’’<br />
Woods said. “I know I can't serve with them, but I just want to say thank<br />
you in some way. They put their lives on the line so that we are able to enjoy<br />
our freedom.’’<br />
Phil Mickelson, the world’s No. 2-ranked player, began a “Birdies for the<br />
Brave” program in 2004 that continues to donate $100 for each birdie and $500<br />
for each eagle he makes in competition and benefits “Homes for Our Troops”<br />
and “Special Operations Warrior Foundation.”<br />
Numerous other players are affiliated with organizations that assist<br />
wounded veterans and their families.<br />
Players support amateur golf in various capacities also. Australia’s Aaron<br />
Baddeley has sponsored the Aaron Baddeley International Junior<br />
Championship in China each December for seven years, with the winning boys<br />
and girls earning spots in the Australian men’s and women’s opens. Bubba<br />
Watson sponsors the Bubba Watson Invitational, a women’s NCAA Division II<br />
golf tournament at his home course in Pace, FL.<br />
Fred Funk, who plays on both the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> and Champions Tour, has<br />
assisted J.T. Townsend, a young man who was paralyzed in a 2004<br />
Jacksonville, FL, high school football game. Funk has spearheaded fund-raisers,<br />
including an annual golf tournament, and given a percentage of his earnings<br />
to help Townsend’s family pay for a wheelchair-accessible home that<br />
includes other special amenities. The Townsend family moved into the home<br />
in late 2006.<br />
“We've been praying for an angel to come into our lives, and Fred (Funk)<br />
appeared,” Carmen Townsend, J.T.'s mother, said. “He could have just greeted<br />
J.T. and left.”<br />
<strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.COM
In November 2000, golf industry leaders gathered<br />
at the World Golf Village to participate in a<br />
conference called GOLF 20/20: Vision for the<br />
Future, a precedent-setting forum aimed at initiating<br />
a collaborative effort to grow the game of<br />
golf and secure its future. The spirit of unity was<br />
so strong and the commitment to make a difference<br />
so universal, the decision was made to<br />
address some of the most pressing issues impacting<br />
the golf industry on an ongoing basis, through<br />
the formation of GOLF 20/20.<br />
An initiative of the World Golf Foundation, GOLF 20/20’s mission is “To<br />
align the golf industry behind a plan that addresses the future of golf in a<br />
strategic manner, with an emphasis on accelerating growth and participation<br />
and creating new avenues of access into the game.” Through ongoing programs<br />
created in collaboration with industry partners that promote the growth<br />
of game initiative, GOLF 20/20 strives to enhance both participation and interest<br />
in golf.<br />
Among GOLF 20/20’s many accomplishments during the past six years<br />
are the following:<br />
Research – GOLF 20/20 has undertaken a number of unprecedented<br />
research projects, including golf’s largest-ever segmentation study (2001); a<br />
study quantifying golf’s annual economy at $62 billion; and two studies focusing<br />
on golf’s best customers (2005). In 2006, GOLF 20/20, working with SRI<br />
International, developed a template for the calculation of the economic impact<br />
of golf at the state level, which provides states with an affordable tool to use<br />
in a variety of ways.<br />
Program Development – GOLF 20/20 has successfully piloted numerous<br />
programs, beginning with Link Up 2 Golf in 2001. This adult player development<br />
program now serves as an integral part of the <strong>PGA</strong> of America’s Play Golf America<br />
program. In 2003, GOLF 20/20 created the National School Golf Program, a<br />
unique approach to introducing elementary school students to the game through<br />
the physical education structure. This program is now under the management of<br />
The First Tee. And in 2005, GOLF 20/20 established Women’s Golf Week, a<br />
The First Tee (thefirsttee.org) is recognized as<br />
a preeminent positive youth development organization.<br />
It provides young people of all backgrounds<br />
an opportunity to develop, through golf and character<br />
education, life-enhancing values such as<br />
honesty, confidence, perseverance and judgment.<br />
Since its inception in 1997, The First Tee has<br />
opened more than 260 golf-learning facilities in 47 states and five international<br />
locations (Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore), and has<br />
introduced the game of golf and its values to more than 1.5 million participants.<br />
In November 2007 The First Tee celebrated its milestone 10th anniversary<br />
during a network-wide meeting held in Jacksonville, FL. More than 600 attendees,<br />
representing nearly 90 percent of all chapters of The First Tee, participated<br />
in educational and best practice sessions. The 10th-anniversary meeting<br />
was highlighted by two special announcements. Fred Tattersall, a National<br />
Trustee and founder of The First Tee of Richmond & Chesterfield, announced an<br />
additional $2-million gift to fund The First Tee Life Skills and Leadership<br />
Academies on college campuses for the next 12 years. And Billy Dettlaff,<br />
national director of golf for the TPC network, announced the establishment of<br />
the Henry and Helen Dettlaff Endowed Scholarship to the University of Notre<br />
Dame for Scholars of The First Tee.<br />
The First Tee Life Skills Experience is the unique feature that separates<br />
The First Tee from many other junior golf programs and youth initiatives. Through<br />
life lessons taught at more than 200 community-based nonprofit chapters, participants<br />
learn the importance of maintaining a positive attitude, how to make<br />
decisions by thinking about possible consequences, how to define and set goals,<br />
and how to transfer the positive values of golf to everyday life. Independent<br />
research conducted by the University of Virginia provides data-based evidence of<br />
the effectiveness of The First Tee and that the organization is having a strong,<br />
positive impact on young people’s development of life skills and core values.<br />

unique collaboration of the golf industry aimed at increasing the participation of<br />
women in the game. During its inaugural year, 225 golf facilities nationwide hosted<br />
Women’s Golf Week activities, impacting nearly 10,000 women. Under the<br />
management of four organizations in 2007-the <strong>PGA</strong>, L<strong>PGA</strong>, EWGA and NGCOAmore<br />
than 1,300 facilities participated in Women’s Golf Week.<br />
Economic Impact – In 2006 GOLF 20/20, along with research partner<br />
SRI International, developed a template through which states could affordably<br />
commission a report on the economic impact of golf within the state, to<br />
demonstrate golf's importance to various public and private constituencies.<br />
Virginia was the first state to capitalize on the model, and in 2007 reports<br />
were completed for Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Louisiana, and others<br />
are underway for Massachusetts, Texas and California. Additionally, in<br />
early 2008 GOLF 20/20 will publish an updated report on the Scope of the Golf<br />
Industry (last done in 2002) and the first ever report on the total economic<br />
impact of golf in the U.S.<br />

equipment and a curriculum to teach basic golf skills and etiquette during regular<br />
physical education classes. The NSP is now implemented in over 1,700<br />
elementary schools in 75 school districts, and its presence continues to grow<br />
in <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> tournament markets.<br />

showcases the talent and character of young people who participate at The<br />
First Tee facilities worldwide. An official Champions Tour event, the tournament<br />
pairs one junior with a Champions Tour player and two amateurs.<br />
Seventy-eight junior spots are awarded. The 2007 tournament was televised on<br />
GOLF CHANNEL.<br />
Key to The First Tee’s success is the support it receives from its Founding<br />
Partners, some of the game’s most respected and influential organizations;<br />
Augusta National Golf Club, L<strong>PGA</strong>, <strong>PGA</strong> of America, <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> and the USGA.<br />

1. <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> retains exclusive media rights (including, but not limited to, broadcast, cable, home video,<br />
Internet) to all events on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour.<br />
2. Each credential issued pursuant to <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> <strong>Media</strong> Regulations operates as <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> authorization allowing<br />
only the holder of such credential and the Authorized Outlet therefor to use certain information gathered<br />
pursuant to the credential (including photographs, videotape, etc.). Please note that unless authorized by a<br />
separate written <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> authorization, credentialed individuals and Authorized Outlets therefor may sell<br />
or distribute such information only as part of the editorial product delivered to end users and not to other<br />
organizations or as part of a separate commercial product; provided, however, this credential restriction does<br />
not apply to credentialed media representing established wire and news services whose normal business is<br />
to distribute information to other news organizations so that such other news organizations may distribute the<br />
information to various print and broadcast media organizations to use the information for editorial product.<br />
3. Each credential authorizes the holder of such credential and the Authorized Outlet therefor to use the<br />
trademark of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, Champions Tour or Nationwide Tour (as applicable) in the news and editorial<br />
coverage of such Tour and the applicable tournament. It does not authorize the holder or the Authorized<br />
Outlet use of such trademarks in non-editorial contexts as non-editorial use of such trademarks requires<br />

The <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>’s TPC Network has maintained a reputation<br />
for operating high-quality clubs since its inception 27<br />
years ago. The TPC network continues to grow, with more<br />
than 20 facilities currently open or under construction.<br />
TPCs encompass all forms of golf-related operations—<br />
resort facilities, corporate/private membership clubs and<br />
daily-fee courses—and, as such, <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Golf Course<br />
Properties, Inc. is able to match the type of facility with the<br />
demands of each market in which a club operates.<br />
The network represents the highest standard in the golf-course industry,<br />
commensurate with the members of the organization it represents, the players<br />
of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>. Each TPC embodies the trademark of excellence first<br />
established with the flagship TPC Sawgrass, which opened its world-famous<br />
PLAYERS Stadium Course in the fall of 1980 in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. This<br />
commitment to overall excellence serves as the foundation for the network’s<br />
overall success.<br />
The TPC Network was born through former <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Commissioner<br />
Deane Beman’s desire to provide <strong>TOUR</strong> players with quality golf courses that<br />
also would offer spectators enhanced viewing areas. Beman also reasoned<br />
that development of quality facilities would alleviate the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s dependency<br />
on the television dollar, while providing rent-free venues for tournaments. The<br />
savings in rent, in turn, would generate both increased purses and greater<br />
charitable contributions by the tournaments held at TPCs.<br />

TPC Network<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> 2008 Guide<br />
TPC Sawgrass was the first TPC to hold a <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> event, becoming the<br />
permanent home of THE PLAYERS Championship in 1982. In 2007, 16 tournaments<br />
were conducted as TPC clubs, bringing the total number of <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>,<br />
Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour events held at TPC facilities to 279.<br />
The TPC Sawgrass PLAYERS Stadium Course was completely refurbished<br />
in 2006, with the fairways redone and the greens rebuilt to create a<br />
“fast, firm and fair” course in time for the 2007 PLAYERS Championship.<br />
Many of the top golf-course architects are connected with TPC projects,<br />
including Pete Dye, Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player,<br />
Arthur Hills, Jay Morrish, Tom Weiskopf, Greg Norman, Bob Von Hagge and<br />
D.A. Weibring. TPC Boston, which opened in 2002, was the fourth TPC course<br />
designed by Palmer Course Design Co. Weiskopf designed his second TPC<br />
course for TPC Craig Ranch near Dallas, TX, which opened in the fall of 2004.<br />
Moreover, in recognizing the importance of player input for tournament<br />
courses, <strong>TOUR</strong> members have served as design consultants, working closely<br />
with the lead architect. Hal Sutton, for instance, served as the player design<br />
consultant on TPC Treviso Bay (Naples, FL), which will open in 2008, while<br />
Steve Elkington was the player consultant and Kelly Gibson the associate<br />
player consultant working with architect Pete Dye on TPC Louisiana in New<br />
Orleans, which opened in April 2004.<br />
TPC San Antonio, scheduled to break ground this year, will be a 36-hole<br />
facility. Pete Dye and Greg Norman will be the architects, and Sergio Garcia<br />
and Bruce Lietzke will be the player consultants of the course.<br />

ShotLink is a revolutionary platform<br />
for collecting and disseminating<br />
scoring and statistical data on every<br />
shot by every player in real-time during<br />
every tournament round. This data asset creates improved live coverage<br />
and more meaningful analysis. The new data creates great potential to<br />
enhance entertainment and image of the sport across all platforms.<br />
The development of ShotLink started in 1997 when the <strong>TOUR</strong> decided to<br />
update its current scoring system, which was based on 1987 technology. The<br />
<strong>TOUR</strong>, in conjunction with IBM, conducted an extensive review process to formulate<br />
its strategy for the development and implementation of ShotLink.<br />
Following an evaluation of more than 30 companies, additional technology and<br />
implementation partners were identified: Information and Display Systems<br />
(IDS), Palm, Electronic Arts, Daktronics and two mapping vendors: GeoGolf and<br />
Geodetic Services. IBM provided overall project management, consulting services<br />
and server and networking technologies.<br />
ShotLink was introduced during the 2001 Buick Classic and represents the<br />
<strong>TOUR</strong>’s scoring system for the future. The System was enhanced in 2006 with<br />
the addition of a radar solution that accurately collects club head speed, ball<br />
speed, launch angle and tracks the entire flight of the ball. This solution is<br />
being installed on one tee each week. In 2007 a state-of -the-art set of LED<br />
scoreboards were introduced at THE PLAYERS Championship. They are powered<br />
by ShotLink and leverage the DiamondVision technology of Mitsubishi<br />
Electric, the Official Large Outdoor Video Display Provider of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>.<br />
This fan enhancement brings new information and insight to the fan in full<br />
color, including: leaderboards, leader updates, player bio and highlight videos,<br />
player performance metrics and shot location information. Future fan enhancements<br />
include broadcast applications, online uses, mobile applications, on-site<br />
presentations and new ShotLink statistics.<br />
The accumulation, packaging and presentation of expanded shot and course<br />
information provide the basis for numerous fan enhancements.<br />
Current uses of ShotLink data include:<br />
• Enhanced graphics and statistics in television broadcasts – over 2,500 incremental<br />
broadcast mentions and graphics are aired annually due to the<br />
ShotLink system<br />
• Expanded information and statistics for use by media<br />
• Powering on-site and <strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.com tournament leaderboards<br />
• Providing on-site media and hospitality access to live tournament information<br />
• On-site wireless and kiosk applications for tournament patrons through<br />
Tournament Tracker<br />
• Powering mobile.pgatour.com, the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>’s wireless application for use<br />
on PDAs and cell phones<br />
• Analysis of how each golf course is played to assist in course setup and in<br />
design changes<br />
• Increased data mining to create more interesting entertainment on <strong>PGA</strong>-<br />

<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Links program, built by IBM.<br />
The ShotLink data is collected by volunteers utilizing a combination of handheld<br />
devices and laser range finders. Each week a team of approximately 350<br />
volunteers dedicate approximately three man years of effort to perform this<br />
data collection. In the course of the entire season, more than 10,000 volunteers<br />
contribute to the success of this program.<br />

Every effort will be made to finish each round as scheduled by Sunday.<br />
The first priority is always the competition and completion of 72 holes.<br />
In an effort to achieve this objective by Sunday, 36 holes may be played<br />
on Sunday following a reduction of the field to the score which has the closest<br />
number of professionals to 60. If an equal number of professionals are at<br />
scores above and below the 60th position, the higher score will be used.<br />
If conditions exist which prevent 72 holes from being completed by<br />
Sunday, play will always be extended to Monday if golf-course conditions and<br />
the weather forecast permit. Play on Monday could include 36 holes.<br />
If conditions exist which make the completion of 72 holes impossible, the<br />
next priority is to complete 54 holes; thereby the winner is credited with an<br />
official victory. Again, play in this situation will always be extended to<br />
Monday if conditions and weather permit.<br />
The World Golf Foundation is a<br />
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based<br />
in St. Augustine, FL at World Golf<br />
Village, home of the World Golf Hall of<br />
Fame and the national headquarters of<br />
The First Tee. Its Board of Directors includes representatives from the Augusta<br />
National Golf Club, L<strong>PGA</strong>, <strong>PGA</strong> of America, <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, United States Golf<br />
Association, The R&A and the European Tour. USGA Executive Director David<br />
Fay serves as 2008 Chairman of the Board.<br />
Established in 1994 to unite the golf industry and those who love the<br />
game, the World Golf Foundation supports initiatives that promote, enhance<br />
the growth of and provide access to the game of golf worldwide, while preserving<br />
golf’s traditional values and passing them on to others.<br />
In September 2007, the Board of Directors announced that Steve Mona,<br />
formerly the CEO of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America<br />
(GCSAA), would take on the newly created position of CEO of the World Golf<br />
Foundation. Mona, 50, has been actively involved with the World Golf<br />
Foundation and its initiatives over the past decade, serving on the World Golf<br />
Hall of Fame Advisory Board and The First Tee Advisory Committee since 1998<br />
and the GOLF 20/20 Executive Board since 1999.<br />
The seven organizations that comprise the Executive Committee of the<br />
Foundation Board will be represented by their respective chief executive, as<br />
follows: Peter Dawson, Chief Executive of The R&A; George O’Grady,<br />
Executive Director of the European Tour; David Fay, Executive Director of the<br />
United States Golf Association; Tim Finchem, Commissioner of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>;<br />
Joe Steranka, Executive Director of the <strong>PGA</strong> of America; Carolyn Bivens,<br />
Commissioner of the L<strong>PGA</strong>; and Jim Armstrong, Executive Director of Augusta<br />
National Golf Club.<br />
Moving forward, the Chairman of the Board will rotate on an annual<br />
basis between the members of the Executive Committee. Additionally, the<br />
Board of Directors will increase in size, potentially increasing to up to 25 members,<br />
from its current structure of eight members, and becoming more international<br />
in its representation. The Board currently consists of the seven mem-<br />

If conditions exist which make the completion of 54 holes impossible, the<br />
next priority is to complete 36 holes; thereby players receive official money,<br />
although the winner is credited with an unofficial victory. Again, play in this<br />
situation may be extended to Monday.<br />
In making decisions to extend play beyond Sunday or to reduce the tournament<br />
to fewer than 72 holes due to inclement weather, the on-site<br />
Tournament Director discusses the situation and conditions with a number of<br />
parties, including the host organization, title sponsor, host site (general manager<br />
and/or golf-course superintendent), on-site weather forecaster, television<br />
representatives and the other members of the Rules Committee. Players<br />
typically have not been included in these discussions as the <strong>TOUR</strong> believes it<br />
is inappropriate for the Rules Committee to discuss matters directly affecting<br />
the competition with contestants.<br />
bers of the Executive Committee and Lynn Elsenhans, Executive Vice President<br />
of Global Manufacturing for Shell Downstream, Inc. Shell Oil Company is the<br />

The Board also announced that while reaffirming the Foundation’s<br />
three primary initiatives (World Golf Hall of Fame, The First Tee, GOLF<br />
20/20), the organization would broaden its scope to initiate strategic dialogue<br />
in areas of common interest that impact golf on a global basis.<br />
Specifically, the areas of Global Communications, Research and Public<br />
Affairs and the development of a unified Anti-Doping Policy have become<br />
part of the World Golf Foundation’s focus.<br />
The World Golf Hall of Fame (wgv.com) is the ultimate destination for the<br />
celebration and recognition of golf’s greatest players and contributors, men<br />
and women. The institution stands as an inspiration to golfers and fans<br />
throughout the world. Its annual induction ceremony honors new members<br />
each year on the grounds of the museum.<br />
The First Tee (thefirsttee.org) is now widely recognized as a preeminent positive<br />
youth development organization. Its mission is to impact the lives of<br />
young people by providing learning facilities and educational programs that<br />
promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game<br />
of golf. Since its inception in 1997, The First Tee has opened more than 260<br />
golf-learning facilities in 47 states and five international locations – Australia,<br />
Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore – and has introduced the game of<br />
golf and its values to more than 1.5 million participants and students. Former<br />
President George Bush serves as honorary chairman.<br />
GOLF 20/20 (golf2020.com) is a unique industry collaboration to grow the<br />
game of golf and secure its future. The mission, which was initiated in 1999,<br />
is to align the golf industry behind a plan that addresses the future of golf in<br />
a strategic manner, with an emphasis on accelerating growth and participation,<br />
and creating new avenues of access into the game.<br />

The <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>’s primary objective is to have a credible Anti-Doping<br />
Program that will aggressively deter the use of any prohibited substance. The<br />
key elements of the program include extensive player outreach and education;<br />
a comprehensive list of prohibited substances and methods; therapeutic-use<br />
exemptions; a testing protocol and procedure; and guidelines governing sanctions<br />
and program administration. A summary of each of these significant elements<br />
follows:<br />
Player Outreach and Education<br />
The <strong>TOUR</strong>’s Anti-Doping Program will be implemented on all three Tours,<br />
on a phased-in basis. On the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, player education and outreach began<br />
in December 2007 and extends through June 2008, with testing beginning no<br />
sooner than July 2008. The education phase will commence on the<br />
Nationwide Tour in mid-2008, with testing to begin in late 2008. On the<br />
Champions Tour, education will begin in January 2009 and testing will be<br />
implemented in mid-2009.<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> players received an Anti-Doping Program Manual in early<br />
December 2007. The manual contained significant detail about all aspects of<br />
the Program. Additionally, players will have 24-hour-a-day confidential access<br />
to medical and program advisors who can respond to any questions relating to<br />
specific substances, medications or testing procedures.<br />
The player education process will include weekly player education sessions<br />
at tournament sites, beginning in January at the Sony Open in Hawaii.<br />
Medical experts will also be available on a weekly basis for one-on-one meetings<br />
with players, family members and/or support staff (managers, trainers,<br />
nutritionists, physicians, etc.) in any of the educational sessions offered. A<br />
mandatory player meeting will also be scheduled at the 2008 Buick<br />
Invitational, at which time the Program will be covered in comprehensive<br />
detail.<br />
Prohibited Substances<br />
The <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> and the other member organizations of the World Golf<br />
Foundation have collaborated to create a Model Prohibited Substances and<br />
Methods List that was first announced in September 2007.<br />
The list includes:<br />
• Anabolic Agents (e.g., steroids)<br />
• Hormones and Related Substances (e.g., human growth hormone, testosterone,<br />
EPO)<br />
• Agents with Anti-Estrogenic Activity (to artificially increase testosterone<br />
level)<br />
• Diuretics and Other Masking Agents<br />
• Stimulants (e.g., Ritalin)<br />
• Narcotics<br />
• Cannabinoids<br />
• Beta Blockers<br />
• Enhancement of Oxygen Transfer (blood doping)<br />
• Chemical and Physical Manipulation (tampering with a sample)<br />
The Anti-Doping Program Manual that was delivered to players in<br />
December 2007 contains a comprehensive list of prohibited substances that<br />
fall under the categories listed above, as well as a list of those substances<br />
that will not be prohibited under the Program.<br />
Therapeutic Use Exemptions<br />
The <strong>TOUR</strong>’s Anti-Doping Program includes a process for players to<br />
apply to receive a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) to use a banned substance<br />
if there is a legitimate medical need as determined by the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s<br />
medical committee.<br />
This TUE medical committee will be created and chaired by the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s<br />
anti-doping medical advisor, Tom Hospel, M.D. Dr. Hospel is Board Certified in<br />
Sports Medicine, has served as the team physician for The Ohio State<br />
University and shares a practice with the Medical Advisor for the NFL Anti-<br />
Doping Program. The TUE medical committee will also include a number of<br />
other highly-regarded physicians from various medical disciplines.<br />

<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Anti-Doping Program<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> 2008 Guide<br />
Testing Protocol<br />
As with the overall Anti-Doping Program, the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s primary objective<br />
with its testing protocol is to have a credible process that will aggressively<br />
and effectively deter the use of any prohibited substance. Under the terms of<br />
the program, the <strong>TOUR</strong> has the authority to test players at any time or place.<br />
All testing will be without prior notice. Testing done at tournament sites may<br />
be conducted both on practice/pro-am days and before or after competitive<br />
rounds. There is not a stated minimum or maximum number of times a year<br />
that an individual player may be tested.<br />
The <strong>TOUR</strong> is taking significant steps to ensure that the confidentiality,<br />
security and integrity of the entire process is preserved for the membership.<br />
To implement the testing process, the <strong>TOUR</strong> has engaged the National Center<br />
for Drug Free Sport (Drug Free Sport). Individuals employed by Drug Free Sport<br />
are specifically trained to ensure a confidential and secure testing experience<br />
for the player and the <strong>TOUR</strong>.<br />
Drug Free Sport will assist in the player education program in addition to<br />
conducting the actual testing. Beyond its new relationship with the <strong>TOUR</strong>,<br />
Drug Free Sport also provides drug testing or education services for the<br />
National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), National<br />
Basketball Association (NBA), National Collegiate Athletic Association<br />
(NCAA) and hundreds of colleges and universities.<br />
Sanctions<br />
Players who have been tested will be notified of the results by the <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
Program Administrator (see next section). If it is determined that a player committed<br />
a violation of the Anti-Doping Program, the player will be notified of the<br />
violation and the sanction. Players will have an opportunity to appeal a sanction<br />
at a hearing to be held by the Commissioner or his designee.<br />
Under the program, the <strong>TOUR</strong> has the authority to impose a variety of<br />
sanctions, which may include: disqualification; ineligibility for up to one year<br />
for a first violation, up to five years for a second violation, and up to a lifetime<br />
ban for multiple violations; and fines up to $500,000.<br />
In addition, for drugs of abuse (marijuana, certain narcotics, cocaine), the<br />
Commissioner will have the discretion to require treatment and rehabilitation<br />
in lieu of or in addition to other sanctions.<br />
For any player who fails a test and is issued sanctions, the <strong>TOUR</strong> will disclose<br />
that the player violated the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s Anti-Doping Program and will report<br />
the penalty.<br />
Program Administration<br />
The Program will be handled through the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s Office of the General<br />
Counsel led by Rick Anderson, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal<br />
Officer. Allison Keller, Assistant General Counsel—Anti-Doping, will be the<br />
Program Administrator.<br />
The <strong>TOUR</strong> has engaged outside policy and medical experts to assist in<br />
the development and implementation of the program, including player education<br />
programs and the testing process. In developing the program, the <strong>TOUR</strong><br />
has worked closely with Richard Young, one of the world’s foremost anti-doping<br />
experts and the principal draftsman of the World Anti-Doping Agency<br />
(WADA) Code. Young has served on the WADA Board since 2004.<br />

Open since 1998, the World Golf Hall of Fame<br />
is the ultimate destination for the celebration and<br />
recognition of golf’s greatest players and contributors<br />
and serves as an inspiration to golfers and fans<br />
worldwide. Supported by all of the world’s leading<br />
golf organizations, the Hall of Fame combines historic<br />
artifacts and personal memorabilia with interactive<br />
exhibits to tell the stories of the Hall of Fame<br />
members and the history of the game. The World<br />
Golf Hall of Fame is located at World Golf Village in<br />
St. Augustine, FL.<br />
The Museum<br />
Guests of the World Golf Hall of Fame will be<br />
greeted with the fascinating and comprehensive tale<br />
of golf’s history and its development from the cradle in<br />
Scotland through its growth to the far reaches of the<br />
world. An exhibit in this area focuses on the role of<br />
The R&A, the history of the British Open, golf’s<br />
longest-running major, and The Royal & Ancient Golf<br />
Club of St. Andrews.<br />
The Hall of Fame members’ stories are referenced<br />
throughout the museum, though their true<br />
home is in the center of the museum, Shell Hall,<br />
named for the Hall of Fame’s founding partner, Shell<br />
Oil Company. An extraordinary “Wall of Fame” donning<br />
hand-crafted bronze relief plaques of each member<br />
extends an entire wall, representing the current<br />
120 members. And, guests can search for statistics, sound bites, photographs<br />
and video clips in a comprehensive database developed by technology partner<br />
IBM. As a fitting tribute to the highest achievement in golf, significant tournament<br />
trophies, including men’s and women’s majors, are artfully displayed<br />
in the Hall of Fame Tower. Though perhaps the museum’s true treasure trove<br />
is the Member Locker Room exhibit, which showcases more than 1,800 artifacts<br />
from Hall of Fame members around the world.<br />
Guests have the opportunity to sink a long putt on a modern tournamentstyle<br />
putting green under the lights and cameras of a Shell’s Wonderful World<br />
of Golf match and video is featured throughout the museum, including the<br />
multi-screen experience called “Spirit of the Game” and a theater offering<br />
great championship moment highlights.<br />

The World Golf Hall of Fame offers temporary exhibitions throughout the<br />
year, many featuring its members. The featured exhibit for 2008, “Jack<br />
Nicklaus: Golf’s Golden Champion,” and celebrates the stories of Nicklaus’<br />
benchmark career in golf and his personal life off the course.<br />
The exhibition opened in conjunction with the 2007 World Golf Hall of<br />
Fame Induction Ceremony and will remain on display through November 2008.<br />
Inductee Exhibits<br />
Each year the Hall of Fame showcases the stories and supporting memorabilia<br />
from the current year’s class of inductees. On display from the 2007<br />
Class are exhibitions for Joe Carr, Hubert Green, Charles Blair Macdonald, Kel<br />
Nagle, Se Ri Pak and Curtis Strange.<br />
