Mark O'meara to Return to En-Joie Golf Course Past FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (May 31, 2012) Mark O’Meara to Return to En-Joie Golf Course Past Masters and British Open Champion to Play Dick’s Sporting Goods Open ENDICOTT N.Y. – The Dick’s Sporting Goods Open is proud to announce that 16-time PGA TOUR Champion Mark O’Meara will join the 2012 Dick’s Sporting Goods Open Field. O’Meara, whose career was capped off by 1998 victories at both the Masters and British Open, will make his first appearance at the En-Joie Golf Course since finishing T13 in the 1994 B.C. Open. Newly released players joining O’Meara include: last week’s Sr. PGA Champion Roger Chapman, Rochester native Jeff Sluman, current Charles Schwab Cup Points runner-up John Cook, and fan favorite Peter Jacobsen. The 2012 event will be held the week of August 13th – 19th at the En-Joie Golf Course in Endicott, NY. “To be able to further add quality players to our already stellar field speaks volumes about how the players feel about the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open,” said Tournament Director John Karedes. “There is a reason a 2-time Major Champion decides to commit after not participating here in almost 20 years – Mark wants to be a part of the Premiere Event on the Champions Tour – something Dick’s Sporting Goods has created right here in their Hometown.”, added Karedes. O’Meara has racked up an impressive 33 Champions Tour top-ten finishes, including two wins at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf and the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship. Roger Chapman is currently ranked 3rd in Charles Schwab Cup Points. He is the reigning Champion of the Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid. Roger won the Senior PGA Championship by two strokes over John Cook, becoming the third Englishman to win on the Champions Tour and second (Mark James) to claim a Major Championship. He led or shared the lead in each of the four rounds at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, MI. His victory came in his 16th career Champions Tour start. Roger enjoyed a five-stroke lead after 54 holes, and his advantage reached nine strokes early Sunday before he held on for a two-shot victory that made him immediately exempt on the Champions Tour. He became the second first-time winner this season and the first since Olin Browne at the 2011 U.S. Senior Open to have his first title come at a major. Sluman, the 1988 PGA Champion and 2001 B.C. Open Champion accrued 10 top10 finishes in the 2011 Champions Tour season. He has four victories in his Champions Tour career. He has finished 3rd on the Champions Tour two times in 2012. Jeff ranks 12th in Charles Schwab Cup Points on the Champions Tour. Cook, who was the runner-up at last week’s Sr. PGA Championship, has two 2nd place finishes this year on the Champions Tour and is currently 2nd in the Charles Schwab Cup race. Peter Jacobsen, always a fan favorite, has won 2 Champions Tour Majors (2004 U.S. Senior Open, 2005 Ford Senior Players Championship) and 7 PGA TOUR victories. Jacobsen had three 2nd place finishes in his history at the En-Joie Golf Course. These players will join previously committed Champions Tour members Nick Price, Kenny Perry, Joey Sindelar, John Huston, Loren Roberts, Lonnie Nielsen, Eduardo Romero, R.W. Eaks, Olin Browne, Mark Calcavecchia, Jay Haas, Fred Funk, Corey Pavin and Michael Allen. The event, traditionally contested in June, will be played in August this year to allow the En-Joie Golf Course more time to recover from the devastating floods that affected our region last September. Weekly ticket packages are available at a discount price of $50 through July 31st and are available at Dick’s Sporting Goods stores and the Tournament Office at En-Joie Golf Course.

  • 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.

DAVE SENKO: A T-10 last week. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: T-10, that's what you call it over here. DAVE SENKO: And you had kind of -- you were all over the world prior to that. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Yes, I was. DAVE SENKO: Maybe fill us in on the last few weeks, I know you were in South Africa. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Sure we started in South Africa in January, then we moved on to the Middle East for three tournaments there. Then across to Florida from the Middle East, which is a nine hour time difference and I really took a long -- I'm taking longer as I get older to get over the jet lag. I used to be quite good at it 25 years ago, but now it's taking longer so hopefully this week I can do better than T-10 as they say. That's tied. We would call it 10th equal, you call it T-10. It's the same, just a different wording. You've changed it. DAVE SENKO: How did you play last week? COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Yeah, I mean, you've got to -- I found, I keep on saying this, if I ever underestimated anything, it's the standard of play out here. The standard of play is extremely good. I didn't see 60 last week. I must admit that was a fantastic score for Michael Allen and all credit to him for hanging on.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 10, 2019 CALCAVECCHIA
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 10, 2019 CALCAVECCHIA LOOKING TO BECOME FIRST REPEAT WINNER AT OASIS CHAMPIONSHIP BOCA RATON, Florida – Mark Calcavecchia entered last year’s Oasis Championship not far from considering retirement. He left the championship with a trophy. Calcavecchia outlasted World Golf Hall of Famer Bernhard Langer down the stretch, finishing at 16-under 200 to win by two shots. It was Calcavecchia’s fourth victory on PGA TOUR Champions and first since 2015. “I just didn’t think it would happen again,” Calcavecchia said Thursday during media day for the Oasis Championship. “These guys are so good. I hit it well, made enough putts and sometimes the good Lord just pencils you in. That week was just meant to be for some reason.” The 2018 Oasis Championship marked Calcavecchia’s first win on PGA TOUR Champions with his wife, Brenda, caddying for him. They had won together three other times. They both were in tears on the 18th green. “That meant a lot to win with Brenda after all the close calls we had,” Calcavecchia said. “We had won a bunch, but it was nice to finally win on the PGA TOUR Champions.” The 58-year-old Calcavecchia, a longtime Palm Beach County resident, hopes to become the first repeat winner in the event’s 13-year history when he defends his title at Broken Sound’s Old Course on February 4-10. “That’s a good challenge,” he said. “Hopefully I can end that streak and start the season strong again.” Calcavecchia won 13 times on the PGA TOUR, including the 1989 British Open.
