    TIGER WOODS VOTED AUGUST PGA TOUR PLAYER OF THE MONTH PRESENTED BY AVIS PARSIPPANY, N.J. and PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla., September 10, 2013 — PGA TOUR and Avis Car Rental announced today that Tiger Woods has been voted the August PGA TOUR Player of the Month presented by Avis. As the official rental car company of the PGA TOUR, Avis will make a $50,000 contribution to the Tiger Woods Foundation. In a fan decision on PGATOUR.COM, Woods outpolled Jason Dufner, Patrick Reed and Adam Scott. The four were nominated by a panel of national media for their performances during the month of August. This month’s recognition marks the third time that Woods has received the honor. He was named Player of the Month presented by Avis in June of 2012 and March of 2013. “I want to thank all of the fans who voted for me as PGA TOUR Player of the Month and Avis for their kind contribution to my Foundation,” Woods said. “At the Foundation we believe every child deserves the opportunity to attend college and our college-access programs help them get there. This donation is essential in helping us reach our goals.” During the month of August, Woods won the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational for the eighth time in his career, posting a second-round 61 at Firestone Country Club en route to a seven-stroke victory over Henrik Stenson and Keegan Bradley. Woods’ 79 career PGA TOUR wins is three shy of Sam Snead’s all-time record of 82. With his fifth title of 2013, Woods now has 10 seasons with five or more TOUR victories.

  • Greg Norman Announces Pairings
    Franklin Templeton Shootout Purse Climbs To $2.5 Million NAPLES (April 20, 2004) – The Franklin Templeton Shootout announced that it would raise its purse to $2.5 million for the 2004 event. This is the seventh consecutive year the purse has been signi ficantly increased, and this year the winning team will split a tournament record $600,000. “Through our outstanding corporate partners, most notably Franklin Templeton, we are able to continue raising our purse, thereby attracting a world -class field,” Gr eg Norman said. “That allows us to host a quality event and reach our goal of providing significant funds for charity.” The Franklin Templeton Shootout was founded in 1989 as a result of Laura and Greg Norman's desire to raise money for charity and create a unique experience for PGA Tour players. The 2004 tournament will be held November 10 -14 at the Norman -designed Tiburon Golf Club on the grounds of The Ritz -Carlton Golf Resort, Naples. Tickets will go on sale in early September. This will mark the fourth year the event has called Southwest Florida home, and thanks to the generous support of Franklin Templeton and other supporting sponsors the purse has increased a remarkable 25 percent since relocating to Naples. “The increased purse will continue to attr act the world's best players to Naples,” said Tournament Director Taylor Ives. “The 2003 field was perhaps our strongest to date and we are confident the 2004 field will again raise the bar.” Spectators and a national television audience saw another dramat ic conclusion a year ago.
