But I’m even more impressedby the way he acts off camera. I first met Jim at a First Tee ceremony more than 15 years ago in New York. He was very giving with his time, and he has Ialways given me encouragement, direction and wonderful advice – and he jokingly told me to “tip generously” at restaurants in case the wait staff thought I was he. Yeah, we do bear some resemblance to each other. Jim has a remarkable rapport with everyone he meets; he remem- bers everyone’s name, and among the people he works with he makes each member of the CBS crew feel important. It has been an honor to join the CBS team and broadcast the Masters and the PGA Cham- pionship along with Jim and the rest of the team. And I have learned a great deal from such a consummate broadcast professional, one who unquestionably is among the best in the busi- ness and proves it year in and year out with each sport that he covers.

Dynamic Gold Tour PGA TODAY BRIAN CROWELL GOLF PGA ASSISTANT CHAMPIONSHIP STURGEON TO DEFEND TITLE fter a record 7-under-par 65 last year at the Wanamaker Course at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Fla., Grant Sturgeon is the obvious favorite for the 39th PGA Assistant Championship that beginsA Oct. 29 on the same layout. Sturgeon, an assistant at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., posted a seven-stroke victory in the 2014 championship in just his third appearance to beat 125 other contestants. He finished at 13-under 275. The 2015 National Car Rental PGA Assistant Cham- pionship offers a purse of $100,000, with first place worth $9,000 and a spot in the PGA National Profession- al Championship.

LIFESTYLE BRIAN CROWELL GOLF TIMELESS Rolex reintroduces a classic here’s nothing like making what’s old new again. Something worth checking out is one of the most classic watches in the Rolex collection being reintroduced. That happened in 2014 with the vintageT Rolex Cellini. Haute Time ranked it among its five best golf watches. That was, well, a timely endorse- ment for a timely re-release. Originally introduced in the 1940s, the Cellini was the first model produced in large quantities to obtain chronometric certification. Rolex certainly made a splash when it re-introduced the Cellini collection at Baselworld 2014. Inspired by the Italian Renaissance artist Benvenuto Cellini, goldsmith and sculptor to the popes, this collection features 12 new classically-in- spired models. Among the golfers who like the watch are Phil Mick- elson, who actually was wearing a vintage Rolex Cellini when he hoisted the Claret Jug for his victory in the 2013 Open Championship at Muirfield, in Scotland. Retail prices start at about $18,000.00. This seems reasonable for a watch that feels like it was created by a manufacturer that understands its history and approaches it with reverence. BEST PRACTICES BRIAN CROWELL GOLF HOW TO HOST THE PERFECT OUTING Whether your hosting your friends from college or a corporate outing, your guests will get more out of their day with these tips t might seem easy: invite a bunch of golfers to your course for an outing and let them play. But you have to be prepared, and these tips might help. First, know the skill level of the players who might participate. This is important for no other reason than to know how your su- Iperintendent should set up the golf course. Do you need easy pins or more challenging ones? Faster or slower greens? Should the rough get topped off? Along the same lines, plan a scoring format that everyone will enjoy. Most good players want to play their own ball and post a score. Many high handicappers enjoy scrambles, shambles and other team games. Make sure there is plenty of food and drink on hand during the out- ing. Go overboard on this. Well-hydrated and well-fed golfers tend to play better and, thus, have more fun. Splurge on extras. Players are spending their money to play golf, but see to it they get more out of the day with tee gifts and prizes from various contests, and not all of them have to be golf performance-related. Raffles and blind draws can be very popular. Finally, have an after-golf or rainy day plan. Especially important is the latter. A disappointed group of golfers will go away happier if they’re day is rained out if you have alternate entertainment plans. Do you have indoor contests to offer? Dinner and drinks? Show golfers you have thought of everything..

  • The 2009 PGA Championship Community Relations Program
    THE 2009 PGA CHAMPIONSHIP COMMUNITY RELatIONS PROgraM AUGUST 10 - 16, 2009 HAZELTINE NatIONAL GOLF CLUB CHASKA, MINNESOta Returning to Hazeltine National Golf Club for the 2009 PGA Championship gives The PGA of America an opportunity to reconnect with many of the outstanding charitable organizations that participated in the 2002 PGA Championship Community Relations Program. We are excited to note that these charities, in spite of the economic downturn affecting donations and reduction in volunteers, continue to play a vital role in enhancing the lives of deserving youth and families. The challenges that not-for-profit charitable organizations face are increasingly becoming more difficult. These organizations are driven to raise the low high school graduation rates within the Minneapolis Public Schools (one of the lowest of the nation’s top 50 cities), service families living at and below poverty, and reduce hunger that continues to affect so many families. If not sufficiently addressed, we will continue to see negative impacts on the economic structure within our communities in the areas of unemployment among young adults, increased cost of health care, and increased incarcerations. In many cases the charity has become the primary hope for many youths and families. The bright side is that these charities are great stewards and are making a difference in the lives of many young people and families. We would like to share some of the many wonderful personal testimonies from individuals describing how these organizations have changed their lives. We are proud of these organizations and hope that the 2009 PGA Championship and PGA Foundation will help bring greater awareness and stimulate donors to give so that these charities can continue to be great stewards in supporting their mission.

  • 2004 PGA TOUR Media Guide / 1-1 Table of Contents
    A Message to the Media n behalf of the players and staff, welcome to the 2004 PGA TOUR season. We appreciate your continued interest in our sport, and we clearly recognize the extent to which our success is tied to the thorough and professional coverage we receive from a Owide variety of global media outlets. As the PGA TOUR begins another great season, we can truly state that the image and competitive spirit of our players has led to the healthiest state in the history of our organization. The Sports Business Journal recently reaffirmed this when it published the “2003 League Report Card,” a survey of corporate sponsors’ opinions of their investment in sports properties. The PGA TOUR ranked first in overall satisfaction among the 16 major sports. This is important as we continue to raise the exposure of our tournaments, provide significant value to our sponsors and showcase the widespread excellence of our athletes. The competition level on the PGA TOUR in 2003 was at an all-time high, with season-ending honors going down to the wire. Tiger Woods recorded a season-high five victories and the lowest stroke average on TOUR and garnered a fifth consecutive Player of the Year honor. Vijay Singh won four times and captured his first money title. Davis Love III won a career-high four times, includ- ing THE PLAYERS Championship, making 2003 the first time in 30 years where three players won four or more times in a season. However, the depth of the TOUR was never more evident. Eleven players age 40 or older combined to capture 15 PGA TOUR titles.
