    British Golfer, Lee Westwood wins the exciting night golf contest ‘Hero Challenge’ at the British Masters 2017 Newcastle, UK, September 27, 2017: English Golfer and the host of British Masters 2017, Lee Westwood clinched the winner’s title in the thrilling one-hole knockout contest – The Hero Challenge – ahead of the British Masters 2017. The Hero Challenge was staged under lights at a specially constructed Par-3 on the 18th hole at the stunning Close House golf course. Making a great debut at the Hero Challenge amidst a packed house of over 4000 fans, Westwood defeated Spanish Golfer, Sergio Garcia in a shoot-out in the final, after eliminating Britain’s Ross Fisher and Austria’s Bernd Wiesberger in a similar fashion in earlier rounds. Mr. Pawan Munjal, Chairman, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Hero MotoCorp Ltd, presented the winner’s trophy to Westwood. A key partner of the European Tour, Hero MotoCorp introduced the innovative ‘Hero Challenge’ at the British Masters in 2016. Encouraged by the massive success and support garnered in the first edition, Hero MotoCorp has extended the partnership with European Tour by another three years. This season, the Hero Challenge received a phenomenal response at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open 2017, before making a splendid comeback at the prestigious British Masters. The third Hero Challenge, and the fourth overall, will be held in Dubai at the DP World Tour Championships in November. Commenting on the occasion, Westwood said, “It’s a great way to kick off the tournament. It’s different and I really enjoyed it.

  • Bubba Watson Commits to 2021 Travelers Championship
    CONTACT: Tara Gerber Travelers Championship 860.502.6815 [email protected] BUBBA WATSON COMMITS TO 2021 TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP HARTFORD, Conn., March 23, 2021 – The Travelers Championship today announced that three-time winner Bubba Watson has committed to play in the 2021 tournament. Watson won the Travelers Championship in 2010, 2015 and 2018, and will be making his 15th appearance at TPC River Highlands. “Bubba is a fan favorite, especially here in Connecticut,” said Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube. “Winning here for the first time has meant a lot to him and his family, and we appreciate his loyal support over the years. We’re looking forward to seeing him again in June.” Watson is a 12-time winner on the PGA TOUR, starting with his playoff victory at TPC River Highlands in 2010. He also won in a playoff in 2015, then shot a final-round 63 to erase a six-shot deficit and win the Travelers Championship again in 2018. Only Billy Casper, with four victories, has more wins in the tournament’s history. Watson has two major championships, winning the Masters in 2012 and 2014. He has competed on four U.S. Ryder Cup teams, two U.S. Presidents Cup teams, and participated in the 2016 Olympics. Off the golf course, Watson has also made a big impact in Connecticut. He donated $100,000 to the Bruce Edwards Foundation for ALS Research Benefit Dinner in 2016, pledged $200,000 to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in 2018, and most recently gave $25,000 to help rebuild Camp after a devastating fire.
