  • Ian Woosnam Returning to Defend Title Tournament Field Includes Past Champions & Hall of Famers
    Ian Woosnam Returning to Defend Title Tournament Field Includes Past Champions & Hall of Famers THE WOODLANDS, TX – April 12, 2016 —The Insperity Invitational presented by UnitedHealthcare will be celebrating its 13th anniversary May 2-8 as the 2015 champion Ian Woosnam returns to compete against one of the strongest fields on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule. Woosnam has the opportunity to join Bernhard Langer as the only player in tournament history to successfully defend his title. Langer, who accomplished the feat by winning the 2007 and 2008 Insperity Invitational, will not be competing this year so he can attend his daughter’s college graduation. Joining Woosnam will be seven other past winners of Houston’s PGA TOUR Champions event—Larry Nelson (2004), Mark McNulty (2005), Jay Haas (2006), John Cook (2009), Brad Faxon (2011), Fred Funk (2012) and Esteban Toledo (2013). In addition, five World Golf Hall-of-Fame members are currently in the field: Tom Kite, Mark O’Meara, Curtis Strange, Colin Montgomerie and Sandy Lyle. “The field for this year’s tournament will once again be a fantastic combination of golf’s legends, new PGA TOUR Champions members, Hall of Fame members and the best players in the world age 50 and over,” said Bryan Naugle, Executive Director of the Insperity Invitational. “We are excited with all aspects of the tournament both on and off the golf course. The fans in the Houston area are in for a real treat as this annual tradition continues.” There are eight categories of eligibility in the invitational format, making this event unique on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule.

  • Tax Sand Traps for Ernie Els and Other Pro Athletes South Africa’S Ernie Els Won the 141St British Open and Should Be Relishing His Success, Not Worrying About Taxes
    Robert W. Wood THE TAX LAWYER Jul. 24 2012 — 12:00 am Tax Sand Traps For Ernie Els And Other Pro Athletes South Africa’s Ernie Els won the 141st British Open and should be relishing his success, not worrying about taxes. Even less successful professional golfers may not engender much sympathy. The money seems incredible, the work seems better than Ernie Els of South Africa holds the Claret Jug, 'The what most of us do for a Golf Champion Trophy' after winning the 2012 British Open Golf Championship at Royal Lytham and St living, and the adoring fans Annes in Lytham, north-west England, on July 22, 2012. Els won the championship with a score of 273, and media seem generally one shot clear of Adam Scott of Australia. (Image supportive. And think of that credit: AFP/Getty Images via @daylife) endorsement income! Still, if you’ve ever waged a tax battle—or even had difficulty trying to figure out something that is supposedly simple—you might feel differently. Imagine not just dealing with the IRS or your own home country’s tax rules. Suppose you earn income in various countries and must apportion it and pay tax in many different places? Welcome to the world of the professional athlete. For the British Open, it isn’t only winnings that are at stake. It is also endorsement income. The UK’s tax collector, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, does a shipshape job of revenue collection and administration, some say better than the IRS. In fact, even those who did not make The Open cut and didn’t earn money from the tournament must pay taxes on endorsements.

  • Adam Scott Former UNLV Golfer and Current PGA Tour Star
    “Coach, you are on a roll for developing such great players AND quality kids." --- Jim Nantz Broadcaster, CBS Sports "The golf program at UNLV played a big part in my golf educa- tion, helping me to prepare for life on Tour. Great facilities to use, great competition to play in and great friends made. I look back at my time at UNLV and have great memories. UNLV is a part of the journey that I am on and taught me so much. I am a proud Rebel!" --- Adam Scott Former UNLV golfer and current PGA Tour star "Coach Knight is an incredible short game instructor and he has a vast knowledge of the game of golf. One of the things he constantly emphasized was the importance of the finishing holes in every tournament. I can't even begin to count how many times his words rang true, with the finishing holes making the differ- ence between winning and losing." --- Ryan Moore Former UNLV star, current PGA Tour golfer and Ryder Cup Champion "If a young golfer has the dream of playing on the PGA Tour, there is no better place to play college golf than UNLV. Dwaine Knight will help you learn what it takes to be successful at the next level." --- Hank Haney Leading golf instructor "I couldn't be where I am today without the program at UNLV and Coach Knight. Coach worked with me from the start and helped me with my short game and I saw immediate improvements. I still almost exclusively work with Coach on my short game.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 23, 2018 Fred Couples Rounds Out 2018 Shaw Charity Classic Field —Six World Golf Hall of Fame members, 15 PGA TOUR major winners highlight deep international field— CALGARY—Boom Boom is coming back to Calgary! Fred Couples, who is the sixth World Golf Hall of Fame member confirmed to tee it up in Calgary at next week’s Shaw Charity Classic, added some additional firepower on Thursday to one of the deepest fields on the PGA TOUR Champions calendar. The uniqueness of the city, the surrounding area and the connection with Calgary golf fans pulls the 2014 Shaw Charity Classic champion year-after-year to Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club. He is sure to once again thrill the more than 40,000 golf fans expected to line the fairways, August 27 – September 2. “Calgary has been a very enjoyable place for me. I have always said, as long as I’m healthy I plan on coming here every year,” said Couples. “The people at Shaw are incredible. The crowds are huge. The course is always in great shape and I feel like I can play it well. There is nothing more a player could ask for. I look forward to getting back there.” A crowd favourite since the tournament’s inception in 2013, Couples won the 2014 event in thrilling fashion after a career-best final round 61 that included a chip-in eagle on the 54th hole. He got sized up for a white cowboy hat after winning the first playoff hole over Billy Andrade.
