IntroductionSECTION1 INTRODUCTIONTimothy W. FinchemCommissionerRick GeorgePresident<strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>With <strong>2008</strong> upon us, we mark the 29th season of the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>. We obviously wouldn’t have achieved this richhistory without the ongoing coverage of the media, and we thank you for that.The <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> staff, players, title sponsors, tournament and media directors enjoy their working relationship withthe media and stand ready to assist you with interview requests and informational support at any time.One of your colleagues described 2007 as “…the delivery year for restocking the legends aisle,” an apt description forone of our best years ever in terms of compelling competition, “rookies” beginning again and entertainment for our sponsorsand fans.It started with World Golf Hall of Fame member Hale Irwin, notching his 45th <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> victory and culminated inSonoma with Jim Thorpe making the most of his 30th spot on the money list to get to Sonoma and winning the season-endingCharles Schwab Cup <strong>Champions</strong>hip. Loren Roberts captured the Charles Schwab Cup after a near miss the year before. Inbetween we had an impressive list of first-time and multiple winners, remarkable rookies and notable performances thatfurther elevated the profile of the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>.In 2007 we also celebrated the induction of Curtis Strange and Hubert Green into the World Golf Hall of Fame. There arenow 14 members of the Hall actively competing on the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>.As the <strong>2008</strong> season arrives, we fully expect the excitement and drama to continue. This year, we welcome majorchampionship winners Sandy Lyle (February), Ian Woosnam (March), Hal Sutton (April) and Larry Mize (September), along withJoey Sindelar (March). It will also be the first full season for John Cook, Jeff Sluman, Phil Blackmar, Fulton Allem, Mark Wiebeand Bernhard Langer.New to the <strong>Tour</strong> for <strong>2008</strong> is The Cap Cana, a first-year event set for early April in the Domincan Republic. We have alsogone back to our historic roots at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf, the event that spawned the creation of the <strong>Champions</strong><strong>Tour</strong>. The Legends Division returns to a 54-hole, two-man, better-ball competition contested as an official-money event andcounted as an official victory for each team member.Similar to last season we have another impressive lineup of venues for our five major championships. Oak Hill CountryClub (Rochester, NY) will host the Senior <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>Champions</strong>hip, Royal Troon (Scotland) will be the site of the Senior British Open,The Broadmoor Resort’s East Course (Colorado Springs) will host the U.S. Senior Open and the JELD-WEN Tradition andConstellation Energy Senior Players <strong>Champions</strong>hip will again be held at Crosswater Club (Sunriver, OR) and the historicBaltimore Country Club, respectively.These appealing venues and our other courses will showcase well with our television partners. We have 23 events airingon GOLF CHANNEL. The other tournaments, including four of the five majors, will be telecast on ABC, CBS and NBC.Total prize money continues to increase, as well. The 29 events will offer $55.5 million in prize money in <strong>2008</strong>, with thehighest-average-per-tournament purse ever of $1.91 million.Those who follow the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> are undoubtedly aware that Charles Schwab & Co. is extending its comprehensivemarketing partnership as the “Official Investment Firm of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> and the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>” and umbrella sponsorshipof the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>’s Charles Schwab Cup program. Charles Schwab is an outstanding partner, and players, tournamentsand fans have benefited greatly from our relationship with Schwab over the past 10 years. We’re confident the continuation ofthis partnership will provide significant value to both Charles Schwab and the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> for many years to come.Another area of <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> exposure has more tangible and important benefits. Our players are helping people whohave disadvantages in life realize their dreams. Our players give back in each of the communities we serve, and thanks to theirefforts and those of players on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> and Nationwide <strong>Tour</strong> we are well on our way in reaching our goal of a secondbillion dollars in charitable donations in the next five to seven years. Our appreciation and congratulations go out to thetournaments, players, sponsors and thousands of volunteers who are helping to make this goal reality.With a terrific core of players delighting fans each week with great play at outstanding golf courses, the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>definitely holds a unique place in the sports world. This promises to be another compelling season, and we hope you enjoywatching and reporting as the drama unfolds. Thank you again for your support of the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>. We look forward toseeing you on <strong>Tour</strong> this season.Sincerely,Timothy W.

Charles Schwab CupSECTION INTRODUCTION1OverviewThe Charles Schwab Cup is a season-long,points-based competition launched in 2001 todetermine the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>’s leading player. Theprogram rewards both consistency and top-10finishes week-in and week-out at allofficial/Charles Schwab Cup events.Prize Money$2.1-million annuity to the top-five point earners at season’s end.Payouts1st$1 million2nd $500,0003rd $300,0004th $200,0005th $100,000Points DistributionPoints are awarded to the top-10 finishers and ties in all officialtournaments and are based on the money distribution for each tournament, withevery $1,000 earned being the equivalent of one Charles Schwab Cup point.Points are doubled at the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>’s five major championships and at theseason-ending Charles Schwab Cup <strong>Champions</strong>hip in October.Web SiteInformation and updates are available throughout the year on<strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.com.2007 RecapThe 28th season of the <strong>Champions</strong><strong>Tour</strong> was many things, it was compellingcompetition characterized by veteranswinning. The dean of the <strong>Champions</strong><strong>Tour</strong>, World Golf Hall of Fame memberHale Irwin, started his season bynotching his 45th <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>victory. The season culminated with thevenerable Jim Thorpe making the mostof his 30th spot on the money list to getinto and later win the season-endingCharles Schwab Cup <strong>Champions</strong>hip. Inbetween there was an impressive list offirst time and multiple winners,remarkable rookies and notableperformances.It was also a season of LorenRoberts’ redemption after a near miss in2007 Charles Schwab Cup champion Loren Roberts2006.The 2006 Charles Schwab Cup came down to the final putt of the season,with Jay Haas being the beneficiary of an uncharacteristic 4 1/2-foot missedputt by Roberts, known as the “Boss of the Moss,” on the 72nd hole of theCharles Schwab Cup <strong>Champions</strong>hip. Haas’ 20-point victory margin was thenarrowest in the six-year history of the Charles Schwab Cup competition.This past season Roberts’ ever reliable putter didn’t desert him nor did hisconsistency throughout 2007.Before the battle even began, though, there was much anticipation at theat the start of the season for the scheduled debuts of rookies Mark O’Meara,Nick Price, Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer and John Cook. And thecompetition was as keen as ever, with 21 different winners in 29 events. In theend, however, it was the two most talked-about players from 2006 who made allthe headlines again in 2007.Haas dominated the start of the season, earning four wins from March toJune. He led the Charles Schwab Cup points race for 19 of 28 weeks overall, justas Roberts led in 2006 for 19 of 27 weeks. With Roberts’ eventual return to thetop by the Charles Schwab Cup <strong>Champions</strong>hip, it triggered feelings of déjà vu.Roberts worked his way to the top of the standings with three weeks leftin the season, earning double points for his win at the season’s final major—theConstellation Energy Senior Players <strong>Champions</strong>hip. That victory allowed him totake a 165-point lead as players headed to Sonoma.As the Charles Schwab Cup <strong>Champions</strong>hip began, only four players had anopportunity to claim the 2007 Charles Schwab Cup based on the points available(880) to the winner of the of the season’s finale. Besides Roberts and Haas, TomWatson and Brad Bryant were still mathematically eligible to win the trophy andits $1-million annuity. But the latter two needed to win to claim the Cup.Going into Sunday’s final round in Sonoma, Bryant appeared to have thebest shot. He was tied for second after three rounds and appeared poised to win.But he faltered, firing off four bogeys, one double bogey and a handful of birdiesto shoot a disappointing 1-over 73 and fall from a tie for second into a tie for10th place. Haas went the wrong direction as well, needing 73 strokes to getthrough his final round, which dropped him into a tie for 20th for the tournamentWatson was not a factor either, tying for 20th.Roberts started the final round tied for 18th and eventually improved to atie for 13th, nine strokes back of tournament champion Jim Thorpe.Despite not finishing in the top 10 (only players 10th or better earn pointseach week), Roberts had enough of a cushion to retain his lead in the race andcapture the trophy and earn a bit of redemption in the process.“For me to get up on the last hole (in 2006) and have a chance to do it andhave probably the best club in my bag fail me, obviously that’s something that Idealt with in the off-season and part of this year,” Roberts said. “It was verysatisfying to be able to come down and finish it off this year.”Roberts prevailed, thanks to his consistency. He not only won theConstellation Energy Senior Players <strong>Champions</strong>hip, but he also earned a win atThe Boeing <strong>Champions</strong>hip at Sandestin and led the <strong>Tour</strong> in Scoring Average,Putting Average and Scrambling. Remarkably he was among the top-fivefinishers 13 times in 23 tournament appearances. That means 56 percent of thetime he was one of the five best players for the week.“That’s what it all boils down to, playing for a million dollars on one day.That is what is so exciting about the Schwab Cup is that it’s such a year-longthing and invariably it comes down to this last week and it comes down to thelast day,” Roberts said.Roberts is the fifth different player and the seventh overall to hoist theCharles Schwab Cup, after Allen Doyle (2001), Hale Irwin (2002, 2004), TomWatson (2003, 2005) and Haas (2006).With players like O’Meara, Langer, Price and Cook making their presencefelt in 2007, plus Joey Sindelar, Hal Sutton, Tom Lehman, Fred Couples andCorey Pavin, to name a few, turning 50 this season and next season, the 52-yearoldRoberts is happy to see his name engraved on the trophy before theonslaught of younger talent arrives.“The competition is going to be looking tougher and tougher as the<strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> moves on with a lot of new guys that are coming on. I’m glad tobe able to get one now instead of having to wait a few more years,” he said.About Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.The Charles Schwab Corporation (Nasdaq: SCHW) is a leading provider offinancial services, with more than 300 offices and 6.9 million client brokerageaccounts, 1.2 million corporate retirement plan participants, 200,000 bankingaccounts and $1.4 trillion in client assets.

Fergus held a two-stroke lead after a two-puttbirdie at the par-5 14th. However, with windsgusting up to 25 mph, the difficulty of the finishingholes caught up with almost everyone. After a bogeyat No. 16, Fergus came to the par-3 17th nursing aone-stroke lead. He had a 75-foot birdie putt, but heknocked his first putt almost 12 feet past the cup.His come-backer for a key par, coupled with BradBryant’s missed 10-footer for par, gave Fergus atemporary two-stroke cushion. On the 18th green,Hale Irwin had a chance to put some pressure onFergus and force a playoff but missed a 15-foot parputt and dropped into a tie with Mark O’Meara.Fergus blocked his tee shot at the par-4 18th andwas forced to punch his second shot down thefairway. He then hit his third to 13 feet and twoputtedfor bogey and a one-stroke victory.<strong>TOUR</strong>NAMENT HISTORYYear Winner Score Runner-up Score Location Par/YardsTHE GINN CHAMPIONSHIP AT HAMMOCK BEACH2007 Keith Fergus..................204 Hale Irwin ......................205 The Ocean Club at Hammock Beach ..........72/7,113Mark O’MearaPalm Coast, FLKEY: * = Playoff~ = Weather shortened<strong>Tour</strong>nament Record:204, Keith Fergus, 2007<strong>Tour</strong>nament and Current Course Record:64, David Eger, 20073-12 <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> <strong>2008</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.COM

Liberty Mutual Legends of GolfSECTION <strong>TOUR</strong>NAMENT HISTORIES3KEYS TO VICTORYJay Haas trailed by four strokes with eight holesto play but rallied down the stretch, thanks to twocrucial chip shots. With Tom Kite posting a 9-under 207 after making a 15-foot par putt on thefinal hole of regulation, Haas needed to get up anddown on No. 18 to force a playoff. Hitting what helater called one of his best shots from 90 feetaway in the greenside bunker, Haas’ ball ended upjust a few feet from the hole, and he converted theshort par putt. Returning to No. 18 for the firstplayoff hole, Haas sailed his approach shot justover the back of the green, 40 feet away. AfterKite lagged a 50-foot putt just over five feet pastthe flag, Haas’ chip rolled to within three feet. Hethen sank his par putt for the win after Kite lippedhis par effort from five feet moments earlier. MarkJames and Wayne Levi led at various times onthe final day but both faltered late. James threeputtedthe final two holes while Levi, needing apar on No. 18 to match Kite at 9-under, missed asix-footer for par.NOTESJay Haas’ victory in Savannah came in his 43rdcareer start and made him not only the firstmultiple winner on the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> in 2007 butalso the first over the $1-million mark in seasonearnings…Loren Roberts’ 3-over 75 in the finalround ended his all-time record streak of par-orbetterscores at 37 consecutive.

Senior <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>Champions</strong>hipSECTION <strong>TOUR</strong>NAMENT HISTORIES3KEYS TO VICTORYDenis Watson made up four shots on EduardoRomero in two holes on the back nine Sunday,propelling the Zimbabwe native to his first victoryin 22 years, 8 months, 2 days. Watson stalkedRomero for 67 holes at The Ocean Course beforetaking advantage of a dramatic turn of events atthe par-3 14th. After making bogey at the par-413th, Romero followed with a double bogey on thepar-3 14th when he got an unfortunate break. Histee shot buried in the soft sand left of the green,forcing him to declare his ball unplayable. Aftertaking a penalty drop and blasting his third shot onthe green out of a sandy lie, Romero two-putted fora 5. Watson, meanwhile, hit a 4-iron shot 12 feetfrom the hole and converted the putt for his third 2of the week on the hole, giving him a two-strokelead he would never relinquish.NOTESDenis Watson triumphed in his 12th career starton the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>.

Trailing 36-hole leader TomPurtzer at the start of the round, Haas playedbogey-free Sunday and took advantage of Purtzer’smisfortune on the back nine to claim the same titlehis uncle, Bob Goalby, won 26 years earlier. Purtzermade the turn at 12-under but made consecutivebogeys on Nos. 10-12 to fall from the lead and thendouble-bogeyed No. 17.

Jim Dent remains thetournament’s oldest champion, winning in 1996 at57 years, 3 months, 16 days.History has shown that it’s important to get off to astrong start in this event. Since this event movedto Nashawtuc in 1984, only four tournamentwinners (Don January, a 70 in1984; Lee Elder, a73 in 1985; Chi Chi Rodriguez, a 70 in 1986; andJay Haas, a 71 in 2007) have posted a first-roundscore out of the 60s. Larry Nelson (70 in 2000),Bob Charles (70 in1989) and January (70 in1984)are the only champions who havehad second-round scores out ofthe 60s. Bob Gilder (70 in2002) is the only championsince 1994 with a final roundout of the 60s.

U.S. Senior OpenKEYS TO VICTORYBrad Bryant took full advantage of a secondconsecutive U.S. Senior Open collapse by TomWatson to win. Watson entered the final round upby three shots and appeared poised to win the titleafter making birdie on No. 10. However, he playedhis last eight holes in 8-over, including threedouble bogeys and two bogeys. Bryant was threegroups ahead of the final pairing of Watson andLoren Roberts. As their rounds were goingdownhill, Bryant's was holding steady. He didn'trealize he held the lead until caddie Tony Smithtold him when he got to the 18th hole. For Watson,the scene was somewhat similar to whathappened the previous year in the U.S. SeniorOpen. In 2006 at Prairie Dunes in Hutchinson, Kan.,he had a two-stroke lead entering the final day butshot a 2-over 72 and fell two shots back of AllenDoyle.NOTESBrad Bryant won the U.S. Senior Open in his thirdappearance in the championship and claimed hisfirst senior major title in his 10th attempt.Bryant’s victory was his fourth career title on the<strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> and second of 2007 (RegionsCharity Classic). He was the only player in the2007 U.S. Senior Open to record four consecutiverounds of par/better at Whistling Straits.Bryant made up five strokes in the final round, thesecond biggest comeback by a winner in U.S.Senior Open history. In 2005 at NCR Country Club,Allen Doyle came from nine strokes back to winthanks to a final-round 63.<strong>TOUR</strong>NAMENT HISTORYYear Winner Score Runner-up Score Location Par/Yards2000 Hale Irwin ....................267 Bruce Fleisher ................270 Saucon Valley CC (Old), Bethlehem, PA ......71/6,7492001 Bruce Fleisher ..............280 Isao Aoki ........................281 Salem CC, Peabody, MA ..............................70/6,709Gil Morgan2002 Don Pooley*..................274 Tom Watson ....................274 Caves Valley GC, Owings Mills, MD............71/7,0052003 Bruce Lietzke ................277 Tom Watson ....................279 Inverness Club, Toledo, OH ..........................71/6,9832004 Peter Jacobsen ............272 Hale Irwin........................273 Bellerive CC, St. Louis, MO..........................71/7,1172005 Allen Doyle ..................274 Loren Roberts..................275 NCR CC (South), Kettering, OH ....................71/7,000D.A.

The twoshared the 36-hole lead with Des Smyth, but Irwinstarted his day with a double bogey on No. 1 andplayed catch up the rest of the day.

Driving distance is measuredon two holes per round. Care is taken to select holes which face in oppositedirections to counteract the effects of wind. Drives are measured to thepoint they come to rest, regardless of whether they are in the fairway or not.Driving AccuracyThe percentage of time a player is able to hit the fairway with his tee shot.Greens in RegulationThe percentage of time a player was able to hit the green in regulation(greens hit in regulation/holes played). Note: A green is considered hit in regulationif any part of the ball is touching the putting surface and the numberof strokes taken is two or less than par.Sand Saves PercentageThe percentage of time a player is able to get up and down once in a greensidesand bunker. Note: This up and down is computed regardless of score onthe hole.Eagles (holes per)The average number of holes between each eagle.Birdie LeadersThe average number of birdies made per round played.All AroundThis statistic is computed by totaling a player's rank in each of the followingstatistics: Scoring Leaders, Putting Leaders, Eagle Leaders, Birdie Leaders,Sand Saves, Greens in Regulation, Driving Distance and Driving Accuracy.* As ShotLink is utilized on the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> in <strong>2008</strong>, it will provide capabilitiesto greatly enhance <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> statistical measurements.Putting AverageMeasures putting performance on greens hit in regulation. For each green hitin regulation, the total number of putts is divided by the number of greens hitin regulation. By using greens hit in regulation, we are able to eliminate theaffects of chipping close and one-putting in the computation.4-10 <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> <strong>2008</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.COM

SECTION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION10Charity: Giving Back…The Heart of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>Making a positive impact on the communities where<strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> tournaments are held and players live is a suresign that the golf organization’s charitable mission is acontinuing success story all around the world.This effort was celebrated in late 2005 when the <strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong> and its tournaments reached the “Drive to a Billion”milestone. That cumulative effect, since the first donationin 1938, has reached more than $1.2 billion entering <strong>2008</strong>.The forecast is for the second billion-dollar mark to be reached in the next fiveto seven years. <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> and Nationwide <strong>Tour</strong> eventsannually benefit more than 2,000 charities and countless individualsworldwide.“Thanks to the incredible generosity of the tournaments, players, fans,volunteers and business partners who support the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, our goal ofgiving back continues to be our main focus,” <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Commissioner TimFinchem said. “We are inspired by the continued enthusiasm for giving thatensures more and more assistance is generated for those in need around theworld.”StructureUnlike any other professional sport, the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> relies on more than80,000 volunteers a year to run its events, and nearly all of the 100-plustournaments are structured as non-profit organizations designed to donate 100percent of net proceeds to local charities. Beneficiaries include a wide varietyof local organizations such as hospitals, youth-development organizations,growth-of-the-game programs and food banks.The beneficiaries include the 2006 Charities of the Year on each of the <strong>Tour</strong>s—Any Baby Can in San Antonio, TX, (Valero Texas Open on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>), TheCorner Table in Newton, NC (Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn on the<strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>), and Rochester Golf Charities in Rochester, MN (2006Showdown at Somerby on the Nationwide <strong>Tour</strong>). The impact is also made byvolunteers such as the 2006 Volunteers of the Year on the respective <strong>Tour</strong>s—Marty Sheets of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>’s Wyndham <strong>Champions</strong>hip in Greensboro, NC,Joe McDonald at the <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>’s Turtle Bay <strong>Champions</strong>hip in Hawaii andOran Culberson at the Nationwide <strong>Tour</strong>’s Knoxville Open in Tennessee.<strong>Tour</strong>namentsThe Valero Texas Open on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, the Toshiba Classic, 3M<strong>Champions</strong>hip and Wal-Mart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach on the <strong>Champions</strong><strong>Tour</strong> and the Albertsons Boise Open and BMW Charity Pro-Am on theNationwide <strong>Tour</strong> provided the largest donations to charity in 2007 on each <strong>Tour</strong>.The EDS Byron Nelson <strong>Champions</strong>hip continued its high level of givingby totaling more than $100 million cumulatively. The FBR Open in Phoenixraised $7.8 million in 2007, topped only by the Valero Texas Open’s record $8million in giving for the year.In The Presidents Cup, there is no purse, yet revenues are divided intoequal shares that the participating players and Captains designate for charitiesof their choice, totaling more than $17 million in the seven playings of the event.“This heartfelt response year after year is a tribute to the players,tournaments and thousands of volunteers who make <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> events sosuccessful,” said Ollie Nutt, Chairman of the <strong>Tour</strong>nament Advisory Council.“We look forward to continuing the tradition of making a true difference fororganizations and in people’s lives in cities where we play.”PlayersPlayers also reach out to help considerably through charitable efforts intheir home communities and elsewhere.Support of the United States military was quite evident in 2007. Theinaugural AT&T National in Bethesda, MD, over the Fourth of July weekendhonored the United States military by offering free admission to all militarypersonnel and holding various events around the tournament. Host TigerWoods paid tribute to his late father, Earl, a Green Beret veteran, by focusingon those who serve our country through various activities.“I think that when you're around it, you understand the level ofcommitment,’’ Woods said. “I know I can't serve with them, but I just want tosay thank you in some way. They put their lives on the line so that we are ableto enjoy our freedom.’’Phil Mickelson, the world’s No. 2-ranked player, began a “Birdies for theBrave” program in 2004 that continues to donate $100 for each birdie and $500for each eagle he makes in competition and benefits “Homes for Our Troops”and “Special Operations Warrior Foundation.”Numerous other players are affiliated with organizations that assistwounded veterans and their families.Players support amateur golf in various capacities also. Australia’s AaronBaddeley has sponsored the Aaron Baddeley International Junior<strong>Champions</strong>hip in China each December for seven years, with the winning boysand girls earning spots in the Australian men’s and women’s opens. BubbaWatson sponsors the Bubba Watson Invitational, a women’s NCAA Division IIgolf tournament at his home course in Pace, FL.Fred Funk, who plays on both the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> and <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong>, hasassisted J.T. Townsend, a young man who was paralyzed in a 2004Jacksonville, FL, high school football game. Funk has spearheaded fundraisers,including an annual golf tournament and given a percentage of hisearnings to help Townsend’s family pay for a wheelchair-accessible home thatincludes other special amenities. The Townsend family moved into the homein late 2006.“We've been praying for an angel to come into our lives, and Fred (Funk)appeared,” Carmen Townsend, J.T.'s mother, said. “He could have just greetedJ.T. and left.”In the communities where tournaments take place, giving back remains at the heart of the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>.10-2 <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> <strong>2008</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>.COM

SECTION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION10In November 2000, golf industry leadersgathered at the World Golf Village to participatein a conference called GOLF 20/20: Vision for theFuture, a precedent-setting forum aimed atinitiating a collaborative effort to grow the gameof golf and secure its future. The spirit of unitywas so strong and the commitment to make adifference so universal, the decision was made toaddress some of the most pressing issuesimpacting the golf industry on an ongoing basis,through the formation of GOLF 20/20.An initiative of the World Golf Foundation, GOLF 20/20’s mission is “Toalign the golf industry behind a plan that addresses the future of golf in astrategic manner, with an emphasis on accelerating growth and participationand creating new avenues of access into the game.” Through ongoingprograms created in collaboration with industry partners that promote thegrowth of game initiative, GOLF 20/20 strives to enhance both participationand interest in golf.Among GOLF 20/20’s many accomplishments during the past six yearsare the following:Research – GOLF 20/20 has undertaken a number of unprecedentedresearch projects, including golf’s largest-ever segmentation study (2001); astudy quantifying golf’s annual economy at $62 billion; and two studiesfocusing on golf’s best customers (2005). In 2006, GOLF 20/20, working withSRI International, developed a template for the calculation of the economicimpact of golf at the state level, which provides states with an affordable toolto use in a variety of ways.Program Development – GOLF 20/20 has successfully piloted numerousprograms, beginning with Link Up 2 Golf in 2001. This adult player developmentprogram now serves as an integral part of the <strong>PGA</strong> of America’s Play Golf Americaprogram. In 2003, GOLF 20/20 created the National School Golf Program, aunique approach to introducing elementary school students to the game throughthe physical education structure. This program is now under the management ofThe First Tee. And in 2005, GOLF 20/20 established Women’s Golf Week, aThe First Tee (thefirsttee.org) is recognized asa preeminent positive youth developmentorganization. It provides young people of allbackgrounds an opportunity to develop, through golfand character education, life-enhancing values suchas honesty, confidence, perseverance and judgment.Since its inception in 1997, The First Tee hasopened more than 260 golf-learning facilities in 47 states and five internationallocations (Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore), and hasintroduced the game of golf and its values to more than 1.5 million participants.In November 2007 The First Tee celebrated its milestone 10th anniversaryduring a network-wide meeting held in Jacksonville, FL. More than 600attendees, representing nearly 90 percent of all chapters of The First Tee,participated in educational and best practice sessions. The 10th-anniversarymeeting was highlighted by two special announcements. Fred Tattersall, aNational Trustee and founder of The First Tee of Richmond & Chesterfield,announced an additional $2-million gift to fund The First Tee Life Skills andLeadership Academies on college campuses for the next 12 years. And BillyDettlaff, national director of golf for the TPC network, announced theestablishment of the Henry and Helen Dettlaff Endowed Scholarship to theUniversity of Notre Dame for Scholars of The First Tee.The First Tee Life Skills Experience is the unique feature that separatesThe First Tee from many other junior-golf programs and youth initiatives.Through life lessons taught at more than 200 community-based nonprofitchapters, participants learn the importance of maintaining a positive attitude,how to make decisions by thinking about possible consequences, how to defineand set goals, and how to transfer the positive values of golf to everyday life.Independent research conducted by the University of Virginia provides databasedevidence of the effectiveness of The First Tee and that the organization ishaving a strong, positive impact on young people’s development of life skills andcore values.GOLF 20/20: Vision For the FutureThe First Teeunique collaboration of the golf industry aimed at increasing the participation ofwomen in the game. During its inaugural year, 225 golf facilities nationwidehosted Women’s Golf Week activities, impacting nearly 10,000 women. Under themanagement of four organizations in 2007-the <strong>PGA</strong>, L<strong>PGA</strong>, EWGA and NGCOAmorethan 1,300 facilities participated in Women’s Golf Week.Economic Impact – In 2006 GOLF 20/20, along with research partnerSRI International, developed a template through which states could affordablycommission a report on the economic impact of golf within the state, todemonstrate golf's importance to various public and private constituencies.Virginia was the first state to capitalize on the model, and in 2007 reportswere completed for Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Louisiana, andothers are underway for Massachusetts, Texas and California. Additionally, inearly <strong>2008</strong> GOLF 20/20 will publish an updated report on the Scope of the GolfIndustry (last done in 2002) and the first ever report on the total economicimpact of golf in the U.S.The GOLF 20/20 Executive Board:Leigh Bader, President, 3balls.comJoe Louis Barrow, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, The First TeeCarolyn Bivens, Commissioner, L<strong>PGA</strong>Cindy Davis, General Manager, Nike GolfBob Dedman, Jr., Chairman and CEO, ClubCorpDavid Fay, Executive Director, United States Golf AssociationTim Finchem, Commissioner, <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>Michael Hughes, Executive Director,National Golf Course Owners AssociationDavid Manougian, President, GOLF CHANNELSteve Mona, CEO, World Golf FoundationJim Nugent, Publisher, <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> PartnersDavid Pillsbury, President, Golf Course Properties, Inc.Joe Steranka, CEO, <strong>PGA</strong> of AmericaPam Swensen, Executive Director, Executive Women’s Golf AssociationPhil Tralies, CEO, Club CarWally Uihlein, Chairman and CEO, AcushnetThe First Tee National School Program introduces The First Tee Nine CoreValues to elementary school students and provides teachers with modifiedequipment and a curriculum to teach basic golf skills and etiquette duringregular physical education classes.

TPC NetworkThe <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>’s TPC Network has maintained areputation for operating high-quality clubs since itsinception 27 years ago. The TPC network continues togrow, with more than 20 facilities currently open or underconstruction.TPCs encompass all forms of golf-related operations—resort facilities, corporate/private membership clubs anddaily-fee courses—and, as such, <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> Golf CourseProperties, Inc. is able to match the type of facility with thedemands of each market in which a club operates.The network represents the highest standard in the golf-course industry,commensurate with the members of the organization it represents, the playersof the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>. Each TPC embodies the trademark of excellence firstestablished with the flagship TPC Sawgrass, which opened its world-famousPLAYERS Stadium Course in the fall of 1980 in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. Thiscommitment to overall excellence serves as the foundation for the network’soverall success.The TPC Network was born through former <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> CommissionerDeane Beman’s desire to provide <strong>TOUR</strong> players with quality golf courses thatalso would offer spectators enhanced viewing areas. Beman also reasonedthat development of quality facilities would alleviate the <strong>TOUR</strong>’s dependencyon the television dollar, while providing rent-free venues for tournaments. Thesavings in rent, in turn, would generate both increased purses and greatercharitable contributions by the tournaments held at TPCs.TPC Sawgrass was the first TPC to hold a <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> event, becoming thepermanent home of THE PLAYERS <strong>Champions</strong>hip in 1982. In 2007, 16tournaments were conducted as TPC clubs, bringing the total number of <strong>PGA</strong><strong>TOUR</strong>, <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Tour</strong> and Nationwide <strong>Tour</strong> events held at TPC facilities to 279.The TPC Sawgrass PLAYERS Stadium Course was completelyrefurbished in 2006, with the fairways redone and the greens rebuilt to createa “fast, firm and fair” course in time for the 2007 PLAYERS <strong>Champions</strong>hip.Many of the top golf-course architects are connected with TPC projects,including Pete Dye, Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player,Arthur Hills, Jay Morrish, Tom Weiskopf, Greg Norman, Bob Von Hagge andD.A. Weibring. TPC Boston, which opened in 2002, was the fourth TPC coursedesigned by Palmer Course Design Co. Weiskopf designed his second TPCcourse for TPC Craig Ranch near Dallas, TX, which opened in the fall of 2004.Moreover, in recognizing the importance of player input for tournamentcourses, <strong>TOUR</strong> members have served as design consultants, working closelywith the lead architect. Hal Sutton, for instance, served as the player designconsultant on TPC Treviso Bay (Naples, FL), which will open in <strong>2008</strong>, whileSteve Elkington was the player consultant and Kelly Gibson the associateplayer consultant working with architect Pete Dye on TPC Louisiana in NewOrleans, which opened in April 2004.TPC San Antonio, scheduled to break ground this year, will be a 36-holefacility. Pete Dye and Greg Norman will be the architects, and Sergio Garciaand Bruce Lietzke will be the player consultants of the course.Club/Year Opened General Manager Architect Consultant <strong>Tour</strong>nament1.
