  • December 3, 2017, Returns to New Providence, Bahamas for the Third Time, to Be Contested at Albany (7,309 Yards)
    2017 Hero World Challenge Fact Sheet The 19th annual Hero World Challenge, held November 30 – December 3, 2017, returns to New Providence, Bahamas for the third time, to be contested at Albany (7,309 yards). Host Tiger Woods is among 18 of the PGA TOUR's elite to compete for the $1 million top prize ($3.5 total purse) in the annual 72-hole, stroke-play event. About the Host Host Tiger Woods, the winner of 79 career PGA TOUR titles including 14 major championships, returns to the Hero World Challenge as a participant for the second straight year, having led the field in birdies in 2016 (24) en route to a 15th place finish. Woods owns five victories (2001, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2011) and five runner-up finishes (most recent to Zach Johnson in 2013) in 15 prior Hero World Challenge starts. A missed cut at the 2017 Farmers Insurance Open marks Woods’ last start on TOUR. Hideki Matsuyama set to defend his 2016 Hero World Challenge title Second and third-round leader Hideki Matsuyama posted a final-round 1-over 73 to win the 2016 Hero World Challenge by two strokes over Henrik Stenson, capping off a torrid streak of four wins in his last five worldwide starts. With rounds of 65- 67-65, Matsuyama entered the final round with a seven-stroke cushion over Stenson and Dustin Johnson, tying Jordan Spieth (2014) for the largest 54-hole lead in tournament history. As he makes his fourth start at the Hero World Challenge (13/2014, T17/2015, 1/2015), Matsuyama will attempt to join Tiger Woods (2006-07) as the only players to win the Hero World Challenge in back-to-back seasons.

There were more golf courses than there were golfers. Definitely, there were too many golf professionals. Some golf courses were closing which was the best for the business in general but difficult for the employees. One golf writer stated that for the first time more golfers were on waiting lists to get out of clubs in the United States that there were waiting to get into clubs. In January the PGA made some changes to the apprentice program. One of those was that all applicants to the apprentice program would have to complete three online courses and pass a knowledge course before being al- lowed to register in the program.

  • 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”.

Additionally, notable commitments were received from three players currently in the Top-50 in the Official World Golf Ranking – Tony Finau (40), Si Woo Kim (41) and Brendan Steele (45). “Phil is an incredible ambassador for our tournament, and as a three-time winner, one of the crowd favorites every year,” said Tournament Chairman Carlos Sugich. “We’re also thrilled to welcome back Jon Rahm, a four-time NCAA All-American and rising young star on the PGA TOUR.” Mickelson will be making his 29th appearance at the Waste Management Phoenix Open and is the all- time WM Phoenix Open money leader with $3.9 million in winnings.
