    MOVEMBER SET TO IMPROVE MEN’S HEALTH THIS NOVEMBER AT THE MELBOURNE WORLD CUP OF GOLF 21 June, 2018: To help raise much needed funds, and awareness of men’s health issues, the Movember Foundation will come in swinging following their appointment as the official charity of the Melbourne World Cup of Golf, to be held at The Metropolitan Golf Club from the 21-25 November 2018. And with players from 28 nations descending on Melbourne for the event, the opportunity exists for players and fans to sport a traditional national mo to support the cause and get involved. The Movember Foundation has one goal: to stop men dying too young. As the only global charity tackling men’s health issues year-round, the Foundation funds programs tackling prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. In 2018, more than 1.4 million men globally will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Three out of every four suicides are men and, in Australia, testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men between the ages of 20 and 34. With those statistics, Melbourne World Cup of Golf Executive Director Robyn Cooper says the Movember Foundation is the perfect fit for the tournament. “We are proud to be able to support a global charity that was born in Melbourne,” Cooper said. “Approximately 75% of the world’s golfers are male and from Craig "The Walrus" Stadler to John Daly and our own Geoff Ogilvy to legendary caddie Mike "Fluff" Cowen, the moustache has long been the trademark of the stylish pro golfer.” The PGA TOUR has been a strong supporter of the moustache, with the Web.com Tour conducting the annual Moustache Madness contest at the Utah Championships every July.

  • Lucas Bjerregaard Debuterer På PGA TOUR
    Foto: Richard Heathcote/Getty Images 2019-02-28 13:48 CET Lucas Bjerregaard debuterer på PGA TOUR Der er PGA TOUR-debut til Lucas Bjerregaard i denne uges The Honda Classic, hvor danskeren har fået en invitation, og dermed spiller i USA for første gang siden US Open i 2015. Hele turneringen kan ses på GOLFTV ”powered by PGA TOUR”, inklusiv fuld dækning af finalerunderne lørdag og søndag. GOLFTV er den nye streamingtjeneste, som giver adgang til live og on-demand dækning af PGA TOUR via computer, mobil, tablet og Chromecast. Der er dansk deltagelse blandt de 144 spillere i The Honda Classic på PGA National i Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Efter sidste uges World Golf Championship (WGC) i Mexico har Bjerregaard fået en invitation til PGA TOUR. Det bliver Lucas Bjerregaards første start i en ”almindelig” PGA TOUR turnering, efter han tidligere har spillet US Open og World Golf Championship turneringer med deltagelse af hele verdenseliten. Bjerregaard skal op mod flere af verdens allerbedste spillere, blandt andet den forsvarende mester Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka og Rickie Fowler. Tre af verdens 10 bedste spillere er således til start, men også sidste års nummer to og tre, Luke List og Alex Norén er med på PGA National i Palm Beach Gardens i Florida. The Honda Classic har otte tidligere vindere af turneringen med i feltet, deriblandt Ernie Els, der i sin rolle af kaptajn for det Internationale President’s Cup hold, også skal holde øje med andet end sit eget spil. Det får han også rig mulighed for de to første dage, hvor Els spiller sammen med australske Adam Scott og Thailands Kiradech Aphibarnrat, der begge kandiderer til holdet.

The golfers on the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) Tour provide an opportunity to examine the relationship between performance and earnings. Using PGA Tour data from 2010 and the 2018-2019 season, this paper replicates previous studies exploring the returns to skill and changes in return to skill over time of PGA golfers. Average driving distance, average driving accuracy, greens in regulation (GIR), putts per GIR, sand saves, number of events competed in, and two interaction terms are found to be statistically significant. The idea that returns to skills for PGA golfers are changing over time is supported in this paper.
