    Summary As Introducedxx (2/6/2018)

    Legislative Analysis LIQUOR LICENSE FOR PGA TOUR Phone: (517) 373-8080 http://www.house.mi.gov/hfa CHAMPIONS TOURNAMENT Analysis available at House Bill 5190 as introduced http://www.legislature.mi.gov Sponsor: Rep. Tim Sneller Committee: Regulatory Reform Complete to 2-6-17 SUMMARY: House Bill 5190 would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code to include the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) Tour Champions Tournament as a sports-related event of national prominence eligible to receive a national sporting event license that allows the sale of alcohol on the premises concerning a national sporting event. Eligibility for the license would be for Tour events in 2018, 2019, and 2020. The PGA Championship and Champions Tour is a men’s professional senior golf tournament affiliated with the PGA Tour. MCL 436.1517a BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Michigan Liquor Control Code allows special liquor licenses to be issued for the duration of national sporting events under certain circumstances, including if the national sporting event is conducted under the auspices of a national sanctioning body and the Liquor Control Commission determines that the event will attract a substantial number of tourists from outside the state. Past events have included the 2004 Ryder Cup, 2006 NFL Super Bowl, 2008 PGA Championship, 2009 NCAA Final Four, and the U.S. Golf Association Amateur Championship in 2016. In 2018, Michigan will host two PGA Tour Champions Tournament events: The Kitchen Aid Senior PGA Championship, May 24 to 26, in Benton Harbor, and The Ally Challenge, September 14 to 16, at the Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club in Grand Blanc.

    The (Adverse) Incentive Effects of Competing with Superstars

    \The (Adverse) Incentive Effects of Competing with Superstars: A Reexamination of the Evidence"1 Robert A. Connolly and Richard J. Rendleman, Jr. February 22, 2013 1Robert A. Connolly is Associate Professor, Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Richard J. Rendleman, Jr. is Professor Emeritus, Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and Visiting Professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. The authors thank the PGA TOUR for providing the ShotLink data and a portion of the Official World Golf Rankings data used in connection with this study and Mark Broadie, Edwin Burmeister and David Dicks for providing very helpful comments. We thank Jennifer Brown for providing us with a condensed ver- sion of her STATA code, providing her weather and Official World Golf Ranking data, and providing lists of events employed in her study. We also thank her for responding to many of our questions in corre- spondence and providing comments on earlier drafts of this paper. Please address comments to Robert Connolly (email: robert [email protected]; phone: (919) 962-0053) or to Richard J. Rendleman, Jr. (e-mail: richard [email protected]; phone: (919) 962-3188). `Quitters Never Win: The (Adverse) Incentive Effects of Competing with Superstars: A Reexamination of the Evidence" Abstract In \Quitters Never Win: The (Adverse) Incentive Effects of Competing with Superstars," Brown (2011) argues that professional golfers perform relatively poorly in tournaments in which Tiger Woods also competes. We show that Brown's conclusions are based on a problematic empirical design, which if corrected yields no evidence of a superstar effect.
