  • Two-Time U.S. Open Winner Retief Goosen to Make PGA TOUR Champions Debut at Oasis Championship
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Two-Time U.S. Open Winner Retief Goosen To Make PGA TOUR Champions Debut At Oasis Championship BOCA RATON, Florida – Retief Goosen always had a sense of good timing. His ability to produce clutch shots at key moments helped him win a pair of U.S. Opens and earn induction into this year’s World Golf Hall of Fame class. Goosen also is fortunate he turns 50 on Sunday, just in time for the South African to become eligible for the PGA TOUR Champions’ first full-field event. Goosen will make his debut at next week’s Oasis Championship at The Old Course at Broken Sound. “I know I’m going to have a blast,” Goosen said. “I’ve been thinking about playing on this tour for a long time.” The Oasis Championship also received commitments from former British Open champions Darren Clarke and Tom Lehman, who won the PGA TOUR Champions’ season-opening event in Hawaii for his 12th career win on the 50-and-older circuit. Lehman won the 1996 British Open and captured the 2011 Oasis Championship at Broken Sound. Goosen has won 33 worldwide events – seven on the PGA TOUR -- and spent more than 260 weeks in the top 100 in the world rankings from 2001-07, reaching as high as No. 3 in 2006. He played in six Presidents Cup competitions for the International Team and would have won more had he not battled chronic back problems that are a thing of the past. Goosen is still basking in last year’s announcement he would be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame the week of the U.S.
