  • Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf
    COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf Jeffrey Paadre This paper examines 10 years worth of PGA Tour Tournament data in order to examine whether or not clutch performance exists during the final round of a tournament. After controlling scores for differences in course difficulty, the paper finds no evidence of tangible clutch performance. The authors find that the perception of clutch performance is more likely attributable to talent differential between golfers. Assuming a normal distribution of golfer talent, it is possible that Tiger Woods can outshoot his opponents on the final day of a tournament as well as lose his lead to his competitors. Motivation and Literature In professional sports, heroes can be created through the concept of clutch performance. The perception of clutch performance occurs when an athlete raises his or her performance to an extraordinary level during the most important moments of a sporting event. Athletes such as David Ortiz and Adam Vinatieri have been immortalized as legends due to their consistent ability to help their teams win baseball and football games during important games where the outcome was hanging in the balance. Conversely Bill Buckner and Scott Norwood are amongst the unfortunate athletes burdened with reputations as choke artists based on their inability to perform well when their teams needed a high performance the most. One of the challenges that accompanies examining performance under pressure lies within trying to define which performances constitute clutch performance. For example, in 2005 John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, presented David Ortiz with a plaque inscribed “David Ortiz: The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox”.

  • Callaway Golf Staffer Phil Mickelson Captures Bellsouth
    Callaway Golf Staffer Phil Mickelson Captures BellSouth April 5, 2005 Powerful Driving Display Highlights Sudden-Death Victory in 5-Way Playoff Against Fellow Callaway Staffers Rich Beem, Brandt Jobe and Two Others at Sugarloaf CARLSBAD, Calif., Apr 05, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Phil Mickelson warmed up for his Masters title defense yesterday with a thrilling playoff victory in the BellSouth Classic, defeating four other pros, including fellow Callaway Golf (NYSE:ELY) Staff Professionals Rich Beem and Brandt Jobe. With a dominating display of tee-to-green power and precision, Mickelson survived the first three playoff holes at the TPC at Sugarloaf in Duluth, Georgia, before finally sinking a 13-foot birdie putt on the fourth to eliminate the resurgent Beem and win his third PGA Tour title of the season. Mickelson's final-round 69 for an 8-under-par 208 total in the weather-shortened tournament, tied Beem, Jobe, Jose Maria Olazabal and Arjun Atwal. This set up a playoff that would show off not only Mickelson's remarkable control of his Prototype Fusion(R) Driver -- he bisected the final nine fairways of the day -- but also the growing usage of Callaway Golf(R) Driver technology by top touring pros. Four of the five golfers in the playoff used drivers created by Callaway Golf, with Prototype Fusion Drivers, in the hands of Mickelson, Beem and Jobe and a Big Bertha(R) Titanium 454 Driver in the hands of one of the other pros. In addition to his Prototype Fusion Driver, Mickelson played a Big Bertha 4-wood, Prototype Fusion 3-wood, Callaway Golf X-Tour(TM) Irons, Forged+ Wedges, an Odyssey(R) PM Prototype Putter and a new HX(R) Tour Golf Ball.
