Ian Woosnam Returning to Defend Title Tournament Field Includes Past Champions & Hall of Famers
Ian Woosnam Returning to Defend Title Tournament Field Includes Past Champions & Hall of Famers THE WOODLANDS, TX – April 12, 2016 —The Insperity Invitational presented by UnitedHealthcare will be celebrating its 13th anniversary May 2-8 as the 2015 champion Ian Woosnam returns to compete against one of the strongest fields on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule. Woosnam has the opportunity to join Bernhard Langer as the only player in tournament history to successfully defend his title. Langer, who accomplished the feat by winning the 2007 and 2008 Insperity Invitational, will not be competing this year so he can attend his daughter’s college graduation. Joining Woosnam will be seven other past winners of Houston’s PGA TOUR Champions event—Larry Nelson (2004), Mark McNulty (2005), Jay Haas (2006), John Cook (2009), Brad Faxon (2011), Fred Funk (2012) and Esteban Toledo (2013). In addition, five World Golf Hall-of-Fame members are currently in the field: Tom Kite, Mark O’Meara, Curtis Strange, Colin Montgomerie and Sandy Lyle. “The field for this year’s tournament will once again be a fantastic combination of golf’s legends, new PGA TOUR Champions members, Hall of Fame members and the best players in the world age 50 and over,” said Bryan Naugle, Executive Director of the Insperity Invitational. “We are excited with all aspects of the tournament both on and off the golf course. The fans in the Houston area are in for a real treat as this annual tradition continues.” There are eight categories of eligibility in the invitational format, making this event unique on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule. -
COLIN MONTGOMERIE Thursday, February 13, 2014
PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT: COLIN MONTGOMERIE Thursday, February 13, 2014 DAVE SENKO: Well, Colin, thanks for joining us. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Not at all, thank you. DAVE SENKO: A T-10 last week. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: T-10, that's what you call it over here. DAVE SENKO: And you had kind of -- you were all over the world prior to that. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Yes, I was. DAVE SENKO: Maybe fill us in on the last few weeks, I know you were in South Africa. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Sure we started in South Africa in January, then we moved on to the Middle East for three tournaments there. Then across to Florida from the Middle East, which is a nine hour time difference and I really took a long -- I'm taking longer as I get older to get over the jet lag. I used to be quite good at it 25 years ago, but now it's taking longer so hopefully this week I can do better than T-10 as they say. That's tied. We would call it 10th equal, you call it T-10. It's the same, just a different wording. You've changed it. DAVE SENKO: How did you play last week? COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Yeah, I mean, you've got to -- I found, I keep on saying this, if I ever underestimated anything, it's the standard of play out here. The standard of play is extremely good. I didn't see 60 last week. I must admit that was a fantastic score for Michael Allen and all credit to him for hanging on. -

2016 Course Openings Abundant Meet the New MSSGA Executive Director
PO Box 4306, Helena MT 59604-4306 (406) 458-3359 March 2016 - Volume 6, Issue 3 2016 Course Openings Abundant Nick Dietzen, MSGA Communications Director While the golf season begins in earnest April 1, the unseasonably balmy temperatures in February have players in many parts of the state dusting off their sticks and getting out on our beautiful courses. While the grass may not be as green, temperatures in the 50’s have softened the ground and a general lack of moisture at many courses has even brought about the use of carts for some. The optimist sees a nice long golf season ahead, the dream of golfers across the Big Sky. The pessimist cau- tions that this weather can’t maintain and April or May will put a damper on good golf weather. While we don’t have Punxsutawney Phil giving us a report on the golf season in Montana, many na- tional weather forecasts show above average temperatures slated for March-May. A few things to consider... Respect each courses policies on winter rules. If temporary greens are set up, don’t hit to the real greens. Your local superintendent will thank you! They have your best interests in mind and respectful play in March will make for good conditions during the summer. As always, repair your divots and enjoy the possibility that 2016 may be a nice long season in Montana. Helping main- tain the courses in the spring will keep conditions well during the prime weather we usually opine for when snow is on the ground this time of the year. -
Sporting Legends: Seve Ballesteros
SPORTING LEGENDS: SEVE BALLESTEROS SPORT: GOLF COMPETITIVE ERA: 1974 - 2008 Severiano "Seve" Ballesteros (born 9 April 1957 in Pedreña, Spain) is a Spanish golfer who was one of the sport's leading figures in the 1980s and 1990s. Ballesteros turned professional in March 1974 at the age of 16. In 1976, he burst onto the international scene with a second-place finish in The Open Championship; he went on to win the European Tour Order of Merit (money title) that year, and repeated his Order of Merit win the following two years. He would go on to win the Order of Merit six times, a record at that time (since surpassed by Colin Montgomerie). Ballesteros went on to win five major championships: The Masters: 1980, 1983 His 1980 win was the first at Augusta by a European player. The Open Championship: 1979, 1984, 1988. He was also a great at match play; he won the World Match Play Championship five times, and was a mainstay of the European Ryder Cup team for much of the 1980s and 1990s. He scored 20 points out of 37 matches against the United States; his partnership with José María Olazábal was one of the most successful in the history of the competition, with 11 wins and two halved matches out of 15 pairs matches. While Ballesteros was a member of European sides that won the Ryder Cup in 1985, retained the Cup in 1987 and 1989, and regained the Cup in 1995, the pinnacle of his career in the competition came in 1997, when he captained the winning European side at Valderrama Golf Club in Sotogrande, Spain. -

He is sure to once again thrill the more than 40,000 golf fans expected to line the fairways, August 27 – September 2. “Calgary has been a very enjoyable place for me. I have always said, as long as I’m healthy I plan on coming here every year,” said Couples. “The people at Shaw are incredible. The crowds are huge. The course is always in great shape and I feel like I can play it well. There is nothing more a player could ask for.

Colin Montgomerie (+1)
ROUND 2 INTERVIEW August 14, 2020 COLIN MONTGOMERIE (+1) Q. So first thing we have Just been asking today is about the golf course setup. Everybody is a little bit challenged out there, but you held a great round together and put yourself at the top of the leader board. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Well, I don't so much see it as a challenge, to be honest, I see it as the way it should be. It's a major championship, and it should be more than a challenge. You know what I mean? It's one of these courses you get rewarded for good play. On these courses you get heavily penalized for not. There is no way out. Although, the defending champion, Retief, and although he's very long, just slightly off line, and of course you get penalized. So we need to play more courses like this on the Champions Tour, more courses where good rewards, good driving, good iron, good chipping, and good putting, and not just sometimes good putting. So we need to get more of this. But I'm enjoying it. I have been here many, many times, obviously, in the World Series events and all this stuff here. And I have always enjoyed it. I have always seen it as a very strict par 70, very strict 70 indeed. And if you get anywhere near 70 or 69, as it was today, you walk off thinking, well, you played good golf. And that's what happened today with me, so it's okay. Q. -
