    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.

  • 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.
