    PURSUITS GOLF GOLF PURSUITS For the Aspiring Golf Professional You know it’s a tough course when professional golfers complain of its difficulty. This was exactly the case with the TPC Stadium Course in California, USA, (www.pgawest.com), with some of the most difficult moguls, swales and bunkers to overcome. Pit your skills against one of the world’s most challenging courses, created by Pete Dye, and navigate through the plethora of hazards, especially on the 17th and 18th hole. Rated by several publications to be one of the toughest courses in the world, as well as once being dropped from being the PGA Tour’s Bob Hope Desert Chrysler Classic course because it was too challenging, this course is the ultimate test for the advanced golfer (green fees at about US$235, though it varies throughout the year) to conquer and be labelled against the greats, Should you prevail, enter the PGA Tour “Q School” Finals to land the coveted PGA Tour Card.

    PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW June 27, 2018 RICKIE FOWLER MARK WILLIAMS: We would like to welcome Rickie Fowler to the 2018 Quicken Loans National interview room. Rickie, thanks for joining us. You're making your seventh start here at this tournament. You're the highest ranked player in the FedExCup standings and the highest ranked player in the official World Golf rankings in the field. Last year you finished a couple shots out of the lead, shot a final round 65 with five birdies. Looking forward to this tournament, coming back and trying to get maybe a little revenge and getting into that final spot there? RICKIE FOWLER: Yeah, definitely glad to be back. Obviously I have a great partnership with Quicken Loans and it's been fun to grow that over the years and be a part of this tournament. I was excited when we came here last year, this place had a great setup. Kind of bummed that it's a little soft, I know they've had a lot of rain last week leading into this week. If we can dodge some of that rain today and the course will dry out and hopefully get to where it was last year because it had, you know, in a way a little bit of a major championship feel with how firm and fast the course got, thick rough and greens were firm and fast. It definitely picked you apart as a player if you didn't hit fairways and control your golf ball. I feel like this golf course is a great test and played well here last year.
