He added rounds of 72-69 for an eight-stroke victory over Erik Compton and Rickie Fowler, becoming the seventh player (8 times) to win the U.S. Open in wire-to-wire fashion (no ties), joining Walter Hagen (1914), James Barnes (1921), Ben Hogan (1953), Tony Jacklin (1970), Tiger Woods (2000, 2002) and Rory McIlroy (2011). What Martin Kaymer earns for winning the 2014 U.S. Open (if not otherwise eligible) • 10-year U.S. Open exemption • Five-year exemption to the Masters, Open Championship, PGA Championship and PLAYERS Championship • Five-year exemption on the PGA TOUR (already exempt through the 2018-19 season) Martin Kaymer Kaymer carried a five-stroke lead into the final round, winning for the second time in as many attempts when holding the 54-hole lead on the PGA TOUR (2014 PLAYERS Championship).

  • 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: 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.

We show that Brown's conclusions are based on a problematic empirical design, which if corrected yields no evidence of a superstar effect.

  • Tax Sand Traps for Ernie Els and Other Pro Athletes South Africa’S Ernie Els Won the 141St British Open and Should Be Relishing His Success, Not Worrying About Taxes
    Robert W. Wood THE TAX LAWYER Jul. 24 2012 — 12:00 am Tax Sand Traps For Ernie Els And Other Pro Athletes South Africa’s Ernie Els won the 141st British Open and should be relishing his success, not worrying about taxes. Even less successful professional golfers may not engender much sympathy. The money seems incredible, the work seems better than Ernie Els of South Africa holds the Claret Jug, 'The what most of us do for a Golf Champion Trophy' after winning the 2012 British Open Golf Championship at Royal Lytham and St living, and the adoring fans Annes in Lytham, north-west England, on July 22, 2012. Els won the championship with a score of 273, and media seem generally one shot clear of Adam Scott of Australia. (Image supportive. And think of that credit: AFP/Getty Images via @daylife) endorsement income! Still, if you’ve ever waged a tax battle—or even had difficulty trying to figure out something that is supposedly simple—you might feel differently. Imagine not just dealing with the IRS or your own home country’s tax rules. Suppose you earn income in various countries and must apportion it and pay tax in many different places? Welcome to the world of the professional athlete. For the British Open, it isn’t only winnings that are at stake. It is also endorsement income. The UK’s tax collector, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, does a shipshape job of revenue collection and administration, some say better than the IRS. In fact, even those who did not make The Open cut and didn’t earn money from the tournament must pay taxes on endorsements.
