  • Two-Time U.S. Open Winner Retief Goosen to Make PGA TOUR Champions Debut at Oasis Championship
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Two-Time U.S. Open Winner Retief Goosen To Make PGA TOUR Champions Debut At Oasis Championship BOCA RATON, Florida – Retief Goosen always had a sense of good timing. His ability to produce clutch shots at key moments helped him win a pair of U.S. Opens and earn induction into this year’s World Golf Hall of Fame class. Goosen also is fortunate he turns 50 on Sunday, just in time for the South African to become eligible for the PGA TOUR Champions’ first full-field event. Goosen will make his debut at next week’s Oasis Championship at The Old Course at Broken Sound. “I know I’m going to have a blast,” Goosen said. “I’ve been thinking about playing on this tour for a long time.” The Oasis Championship also received commitments from former British Open champions Darren Clarke and Tom Lehman, who won the PGA TOUR Champions’ season-opening event in Hawaii for his 12th career win on the 50-and-older circuit. Lehman won the 1996 British Open and captured the 2011 Oasis Championship at Broken Sound. Goosen has won 33 worldwide events – seven on the PGA TOUR -- and spent more than 260 weeks in the top 100 in the world rankings from 2001-07, reaching as high as No. 3 in 2006. He played in six Presidents Cup competitions for the International Team and would have won more had he not battled chronic back problems that are a thing of the past.

  • Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf
    COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf Jeffrey Paadre This paper examines 10 years worth of PGA Tour Tournament data in order to examine whether or not clutch performance exists during the final round of a tournament. After controlling scores for differences in course difficulty, the paper finds no evidence of tangible clutch performance. The authors find that the perception of clutch performance is more likely attributable to talent differential between golfers. Assuming a normal distribution of golfer talent, it is possible that Tiger Woods can outshoot his opponents on the final day of a tournament as well as lose his lead to his competitors. Motivation and Literature In professional sports, heroes can be created through the concept of clutch performance. The perception of clutch performance occurs when an athlete raises his or her performance to an extraordinary level during the most important moments of a sporting event. Athletes such as David Ortiz and Adam Vinatieri have been immortalized as legends due to their consistent ability to help their teams win baseball and football games during important games where the outcome was hanging in the balance. Conversely Bill Buckner and Scott Norwood are amongst the unfortunate athletes burdened with reputations as choke artists based on their inability to perform well when their teams needed a high performance the most. One of the challenges that accompanies examining performance under pressure lies within trying to define which performances constitute clutch performance. For example, in 2005 John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, presented David Ortiz with a plaque inscribed “David Ortiz: The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox”.

  • Six World Golf Hall of Famers, 13 PGA TOUR Major Winners Bring 290 PGA TOUR Titles to Calgary—
    Final 2019 Shaw Charity Classic Field Attached FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 23, 2019 Major Winners Michael Campbell, Shaun Micheel along with Brandel Chamblee Round Out Stellar Field Confirmed for 2019 Shaw Charity Classic —Six World Golf Hall of Famers, 13 PGA TOUR major winners bring 290 PGA TOUR titles to Calgary— CALGARY—Two PGA TOUR Champions rookies, Michael Campbell and Shaun Micheel, along with outspoken Golf Channel analyst, Brandel Chamblee, will round out the 78-man field that is now set for the seventh annual Shaw Charity Classic at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club, August 28 – September 1, 2019. Campbell and Micheel, who are both most recognized for their lone PGA TOUR major victories when Tiger Woods was dominating the golf world. Campbell became just the second New Zealander ever to win one of golf’s majors when he finished on top at the 2005 U.S. Open. His breakthrough season ended with a victory at the HSBC World Match Play Championship. One of just a few players in history to have a major as his lone PGA TOUR victory, Shaun Micheel shocked the world in 2003 when he raised the Wanamaker Trophy at Oak Hill Country Club making him one of the biggest underdogs to win one of golf’s most prestigious events. Micheel went on to post two runner-up finishes, including the 2006 PGA Championship. Brandel Chamblee will also make his first trip to Calgary. Chamblee, who has gained notoriety more for his outspoken opinions on the game’s biggest stars as an analyst on the Golf Channel than for his lone victory in his 15-year career on the PGA TOUR at the 1998 Greater Vancouver Open, will make one of a handful of starts on the PGA TOUR Champions at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club.
