  • DON JANUARY Sunday, August 18, 2013 PHIL STAMBAUGH
    INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT: DON JANUARY Sunday, August 18, 2013 PHIL STAMBAUGH: Don, thanks for joining us this morning. Well, I guess it's noon now. I just thought I'd have the first winner of a Champions Tour event in 1980 at the Atlantic City Seniors International, it was the first of your 22 titles on the Champions Tour and you had 10 PGA TOUR victories, including the '67 PGA Championship. We're going to crown No. 1,000 today. I just thought I'd have you in to get your early thoughts about did you ever think you'd live to see that happen, and then talk about winning the first one in 1980 in Atlantic City, what you remember. DON JANUARY: Oh, God. No, we never even dreamed that there would be a 1,000th tournament. We were just interested in getting enough that we could make a living. There were a bunch of us guys that were in our late 40s and early 50s that were still trying to play the TOUR and weren't being very successful at it, yet we still felt like we could play a little, and I'm talking guys like Snead and Boris and van Slykes and Bob Goalby and Gene Littler and Billy Casper, Arnold Palmer, so that was quite a group of us. We got the idea through Fred Raphael and Jimmy Demaret started the Legends Golf in '78 and it was such a success that we thought, well, there might be a market out there for us old guys, and so we stuck our toes in the water and it turned out to be what it is today.
