O P E N — P L A Y E R S From its earliest days, an event that lived up to its name By MICHAEL JAMES ITH THE ascendancy of stars such as Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods, Sergio WGarcia and Camilo Villegas, the sport of golf has become increasingly diverse. And ambitious efforts such as The First Tee program are encouraging more youngsters among minorities to try golf. But for all golf’s 21st century progressiveness, the U.S. Open has long been an egalitarian event, with competitors from a wide variety of ethnic heritages, socioeconomic classes, political persuasions and national origins. Through the event’s 109-year history, for example, 80 Americans have been champions, but so have 29 golfers from six countries: Argentina, South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia and Scotland. John McDermott outplayed his elders in 1911 at age 19 and remains the U.S. Open’s youngest winner. Hale Irwin claimed the last of his three wins in 1990 at age 45. Twenty years later, Irwin is still the tournament’s oldest winner.

    REVIEW OF APPLIED ECONOMICS RAE Vol. 8, No. 1, (January-June 2012) THE DETERMINANTS OF ANNUAL EARNINGS FOR PGA PLAYERS UNDER THE NEW PGA’S FEDEX CUP SYSTEM Jonathan K Ohn*, William Bealing** and Dan Waeger*** Abstract: There have been numerous studies that examined the earnings determination of Major League Baseball (MLB) and National Football League (NFL) professional athletes, but relatively little attention has been paid to the earnings determination of professional golfers. The important difference between the two is: the earnings of MLB and NFL athletes are determined by past and expected future performance, while the earnings of professional golfers depend strictly on their current performance. In this paper, we reexamine the structure and determination of the PGA golfers’ tour earnings in the new era, which started with the introduction of the FedEx Cup Championship in 2007. We use two determination models – the first with a set of traditional skill variables, and the second with the skill variables along with two additional variables which reflect the monetary and psychological effect of a player’s timely performance at the majors, and the measure of a player’s consistency and persistency throughout the regular season. Overall, the second model appears to be a superior model, explaining the earnings determination of PGA players better. JEL classifications: J3; J7; M5 Keywords: Determination of Professional Golfers’ Earnings; Performance Variables; Earnings- Efficiency 1. INTRODUCTION Much attention has been paid to the study on the performance and earnings structure of professional sports players, especially in Major League Baseball (MLB) and National Football Leagues (NFL). However, relatively little attempt has been made to study the earnings structure of professional golfers.

    13 Courses in 13 days: A golfing experience across the Land of Saltire By Javier Pintos On May 22nd I left Buenos Aires on a trip that in the company we believe is the seed for many more golf trips to “The Home of Golf”. Although we have been in the past to Scotland and we have sold the destination for the past 4 years, this trip was a stronger bet as we were leading a 34 golfers party and we added some more days at three new destinations we had not visited yet (Inverness, Aberdeen and East Lothian) and which we believe deserve to be considered when travelling to The Saltire for a golf trip. Scotland offers not only links golf at the highest level but a lot more for devoted golfers: playing courses were golf oldest Major Championship has been played, visiting places with over 200 years of history with our game and walking along towns that breath golf in every corner. Our first three days were in East Lothian playing Gullane no.1, Muirfield (The Honorable Company of Edimburgh Golfers) and North Berwick using it as a Fam Trip trying to discover every secret of this area in order to be able to tell our customers what to expect when visiting this corner of the country. And we believe it holds one of the biggest advantages: you are so close to Edimburgh that you can go after golf to walk the city, have dinner or just discover Murrayfield, the first Rugby Museum in the world. The golfing tour was about to start, it was an intense journey throught 13 classic venues, playing them, taking pictures, glancing at every detail and breathing golf in every step.

    Press Information 16th April 2015 “Golf superheroes” at the BMW International Open. Double major winner Kaymer, “Ice Man” Stenson, “Spiderman” Villegas, and “Iron Man” Cejka join BMW champions Siem and Casey in Munich. Munich. For almost three decades, the stars of the golf scene have assembled in Germany for a showdown at the BMW International Open. This tradition is set to continue at the 27th staging of the prestigious tournament (23rd to 28th June 2015, Golfclub München Eichenried). Fans can already look forward to an attractive field. Martin Kaymer remains the only German to have won the BMW International Open. That victory came back in 2008, at the 20th anniversary of the tournament at Golfclub München Eichenried. Since then, Kaymer has established himself as one of the very best in the world, successfully overcoming a bit of a slump in the process. The former world number one impressed the golfing world last season with his second major victory after the 2010 US PGA Championship. The man from Düsseldorf won the U.S. Open with a sensational score of nine under par and an eight-shot lead over the opposition. In Autumn, Kaymer celebrated his third Ryder Cup triumph with the European team. His many fans in Germany can look forward to another appearance at the BMW International Open from the top German golfer at this time. Kaymer finished tied in fourth place on his last outing in Munich in 2013 – just four shots off what would have been a second German victory. Henrik Stenson is currently ranked number three in the world and the Swede, who enjoys a huge fan base all over the world, will be out to put on a good show for his many fans in Germany.

  • Ron Arnst's HMG Course Collection Summaries
    HISTORY MAKER GOLF Championship Golf Game • Course Summaries Course Collection ONE Blackjack GC, Las Vegas NV / based on TPC SUMMERLIN TPC Summerlin’s layout, carved from a magnificent swath of rugged desert terrain by renowned golf course architect Bobby Weed, provides a good reference for the Blackjack GC. TPC Summerlin’s lush bentgrass greens, numerous water features and an abundance of pine trees all contrast dramatically with undisturbed desert washes. The course features four closing holes that deliver top flight golf drama. The final charge begins with the par 4, 15th hole – a drivable par 4 that will temp most players. If the tee shot misses the green, an “up and down” birdie is possible, but not easy, due to the severely elevated and undulated green – which is surrounded by five bunkers that regularly attract stray tee shots. The 16th hole is a relatively downhill par-5 that is reachable with two good shots. The green is guarded by water short of the green, and bunkers beyond. Only a mid-iron will be necessary for the second shot, with a birdie almost a certainty. A challenging and un-nerving par-3, the 17th hole plays downhill with the green guarded closely by a lake on the left and by bunkers on the right. Par is good score and birdies are rare, should players need to make up ground. The 18th is a well-designed and strategic finishing hole which moves right to left off the tee. The green is protected on the left by a lake. An aggressive tee shot with the driver can leave the player just a short iron to a very deep green from front to back.
