FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 23, 2018
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 23, 2018 Fred Couples Rounds Out 2018 Shaw Charity Classic Field —Six World Golf Hall of Fame members, 15 PGA TOUR major winners highlight deep international field— CALGARY—Boom Boom is coming back to Calgary! Fred Couples, who is the sixth World Golf Hall of Fame member confirmed to tee it up in Calgary at next week’s Shaw Charity Classic, added some additional firepower on Thursday to one of the deepest fields on the PGA TOUR Champions calendar. The uniqueness of the city, the surrounding area and the connection with Calgary golf fans pulls the 2014 Shaw Charity Classic champion year-after-year to Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club. 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. I look forward to getting back there.” A crowd favourite since the tournament’s inception in 2013, Couples won the 2014 event in thrilling fashion after a career-best final round 61 that included a chip-in eagle on the 54th hole. He got sized up for a white cowboy hat after winning the first playoff hole over Billy Andrade. -
Is Tiger Woods a Winner? Scott M
Is Tiger Woods a Winner? Scott M. Berry Abstract Tiger Woods has an amazing record of winning golf tournaments. He has gained the persona of a player that is a winner, a player that when near the lead or in the lead can do whatever it takes to win. In this paper I investigate whether in fact, he is a winner. A mathematical model is created for the ability of Tiger Woods, and all PGA Tour golfers to play 18 holes of tournament golf. The career of Tiger Woods is replayed using the mathematical model for all golfers and the results are very consistent with Tiger Woods’ actual career. Therefore the mathematical model, which does not give Woods any additional ability to win, would result in essentially the same career. Woods has not needed any additional ability to win–only his pure golfing ability. The ramifications of this result are that there is no evidence that Woods is in fact a “winner” – but instead he is just a much better golfer than everyone else. Introduction Tiger Woods is one of those rare athletes that accomplish feats in their sport that are freakish. In this small group are guys such as Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky, Wilt Chamberlain, Barry Bonds, and Jack Nicklaus. Woods dominates a sport where the population of players are all very good–and very tightly bundled in their ability. To win one tournament, beating 100+ of these players is incredibly difficult. To average one tournament victory a year for 10 years is a Hall of Fame type accomplishment. -

Fred Couples
PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW June 23, 2021 FRED COUPLES Q. We'll just start with How does it feel to be Here this week? FRED COUPLES: It feels great. Love the course. It's probably our best event. The winner gets to play in THE PLAYERS Championship, but when you win on a course like this, you've played some pretty good golf. It's nice to be here. At home, everyone's shocked that when I tell them I'm going to Akron. They don't even realize that the Tour players don't play here anymore and that the old guys play here, so it's kind of funny. But we're lucky to be here thanks to Bridgestone and the local charities. You know, it's one of my favorite places. Q. You've really been on a roll this year. FRED COUPLES: Well, yeah, I was on a roll a couple weeks ago and bogeyed the last hole to lose to Jerry Kelly, but I played very well. And I played in Des Moines before that and way back, I don't even know when it was, in April I was in the last group in Naples and there were a couple really, really good scores the last round and I had kind of a so-so last day. But I mean, on a roll, yeah. I'd like to win, but I'm playing pretty well and this is a course that is four rounds, which I think is fun for a lot -- fun for all of us. -

July 25, 2018 Vijay Singh and Colin Montgomerie to Return to Calgary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 25, 2018 Vijay Singh and Colin Montgomerie to Return to Calgary for Shaw Charity Classic —International stars focused on helping to make a positive impact on Alberta youth — CALGARY—Vijay Singh and Colin Montgomerie are coming back to Calgary! Two of golf’s international stars bring additional firepower to an already stellar Shaw Charity Classic field that features fellow World Golf Hall of Fame members Davis Love III and Bernhard Langer. “Both Vijay and Colin have been fierce competitiors for many years on the PGA TOUR and continue to play at a very high level on the PGA TOUR Champions,” said Sean Van Kesteren, executive director, Shaw Charity Classic. “They are two of the best players of all time so it is great to have them back to entertain our passionate fans.” Vijay Singh will be swinging into Calgary on a hot streak. The 55-year-old Fijian captured his first major on the PGA TOUR Champions two weeks ago when he won the Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship in a playoff over 2015 Shaw Charity Classic Champion, Jeff Maggert. It was the second individual victory of the year, and of his career, on the over-50 Tour. His first win came at the Toshiba Classic in March. He also captured the 2017 Bass Pro Legends of Golf title with Carlos Franco. "Winning my first tournament (on the PGA TOUR Champions) at the beginning of the year was big, and now I have my first major, so I look forward to winning a lot more now,” said Singh, who finished in eighth spot at last year’s Shaw Charity Classic. -
FRED COUPLES August 24, 2017 DAVE SENKO
PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW: FRED COUPLES August 24, 2017 DAVE SENKO: Fred, thanks for joining us. You didn't have a chance to play last year, so it's probably got to be good to come back and come home to play in this event. FRED COUPLES: Yeah. I mean, I really like the course. It seems like I don't ever get off to a good first round on it. I say the same things every year, I kind of struggle on a few holes and I play some of the harder holes really well. It's like 70 or 71 and then I just get behind the eight-ball. But I'm a sport nut. It's coming into football time and I got in late last night and I stayed up with John, who I'm staying with, for a couple hours and we talked a little bit about the Mariners but mostly about the Seahawks. If you went and found your writings from last year, it's the same thing. Do I want to win this tournament? Yeah. Do I like to come up here and play? Yes. Do I wish we had another major in Oregon or Washington? Yes, I think we deserve it. I'm a Northwest guy and I think we have some of the finest courses for us to play. We don't hit the ball 350 yards and we could play a lot of events up here. We do luckily have the Boeing and I think I missed it twice, now, right? I blew my back out after the first tee shot and last year I played three tournaments. -
