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.

Daly Headlines Oasis Championship Field Joined by Fellow 2-Time Major Champ O'meara
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 16, 2019 Daly Headlines Oasis Championship Field Joined By Fellow 2-time Major Champ O’Meara BOCA RATON, Florida – John Daly, one of golf’s most charismatic players for the last quarter century, has been given a sponsor exemption into next month’s Oasis Championship at the Old Course at Broken Sound. Daly burst onto the golf scene in 1991 when he won the PGA Championship as the ninth alternate. Fans fell in love with Daly’s booming drives, his go-for-broke style and his rags-to-riches story. Daly added another major, the 1995 British Open, and won five PGA Tour events. He has won once on the PGA Tour Champions, the 2017 Insperity Invitational. “John remains one of the game’s most popular players and always draws a huge crowd to the Oasis Championship,” said tournament director Eddie Carbone. “We are thrilled to have him in our field.” Said Daly, “I always love coming to Boca Raton. It’s a course where I can play aggressively. I can reach most of the par-5s and there’s a par-4 (seventh hole) that’s very reachable.” Daly will be joined in the elite, 78-player field by a pair of two-time major champions, Hall of Famer Bernhard Langer of Boca Raton, who has won Player of the Year on the tour seven times; and Mark O’Meara, who will host the Monday Women’s Day Pro-Am. Already committed to the tour’s first full-field event of the season are defending champion Mark Calcavecchia, Hall of Famer Colin Montgomerie, former major champion Hal Sutton, Miguel Angel Jimenez, David Toms, Jesper Parnevik and past Oasis champions Scott McCarron (2017), Paul Goydos (2015), Rocco Mediate (2013) and Corey Pavin (2012).

Must-Play Golf Courses in Phoenix/Scottsdale
COURSES AND TRAVEL Must-play golf courses in Phoenix/Scottsdale No. 5 at the Cholla Course at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club Heat seeking golfers have long zeroed in on the Phoenix metropolitan landscape and for good reason. Three hundred thirty days of sunshine. More than 200 courses with unique and dramatic holes set in the desert landscape. Annual PGA, LPGA and Champions Tour events. Award-winning resorts with 36 holes and public facilities among the country's best. But it wasn't always that way. Valley of the Sun resident Tom Weiskopf, architect of many of the region's best layouts, explains the area's evolution as a golf destination. "Thirty years ago when you thought about a vacation to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, you thought about three things: images of the Wild West mountains, cactus and horses, the Grand Canyon up north, and the good weather. Championship courses weren't part of the package. Today we can compete against any market in the country in terms of the quality of the golf courses and golf experiences." He's right. Few parts the country can match the lineup of quality courses, resorts and culinary options that you will find in the Phoenix and Scottsdale area. January through early April is prime time for golf, with hotel rates and green fees at a peak. The shoulder seasons (November through December; mid-April through May) bring more available tee times and a price break. June through October brings the serious heat but also the lowest prices. BOOK TEE TIMES: Millions of Rounds at Your Finger Tips Troon North (troonnorthgolf.com; $189-$249): Still the king of the Scottsdale public "must-plays" thanks to a pair of courses that dish out cacti, arroyos, rock outcroppings and stunning vistas of Pinnacle Peak and the surrounding mountains.
