  • 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.

  • Penick's Little Red Book
    PENICK’S LITTLE RED BOOK Harvey Morrison Penick (1904 – 1995) was an American professional golfer and coach who coached many Hall of Fame players. Born in Austin, Texas, Penick began his golf career as a caddy at the Austin Country Club at age 8, became the club’s assistant pro five years later, and after his graduation from high school, was promoted to head professional in 1923. Penick was the golf coach at the University of Texas from 1931 to 1963, coaching the Longhorns to 21 Southwest Conference championships in 33 years, including 20 out of 23 seasons from 1932 to 1954. He coached the following members of the World Golf Hall of Fame: Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw, Mickey Wright, Betsy Rawls and Kathy Whitworth. Other outstanding players coached by Penick include: Sandra Palmer, Judy Kimball, Terry Dill, Don Massengale, Rik Massengale and Edward White. His students returned to Penick even after years on the pro golfers’ circuit to seek his help with their putting, chipping and driving. During Penick’s final illness, he gave lessons from his deathbed to longtime student Ben Crenshaw. The day after serving as a pallbearer in Penick’s funeral, Crenshaw began play in the 1995 Masters Tournament. With the memory and spirit of his longtime friend and mentor to guide him, Crenshaw became the second oldest Masters champion, winning his second Masters at the age of 43. In the post-tournament interview, Crenshaw said: “I had a 15th club in my bag,” a reference to Penick. (The “15th club” reference is based on the golf rule that limits a player to carrying 14 clubs during a round.) Penick was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2002, seven years after his death.

  • PGA Golf Professional Hall of Fame
    PGA of America Hall of Fame The PGA of America Hall of Fame originated in 1940 at the suggestion of famed sportswriter Grantland Rice. It is the highest honor that the PGA of America can bestow upon its membership or ambassadors of golf. Most of the original inductees were later enshrined at the PGA World Golf Hall of Fame in Pinehurst, North Carolina. In 1993, the PGA of America ceased PGA World Golf Hall of Fame operations in Pinehurst and subsequently relocated to the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Florida. While all of the Pinehurst-enshrined members were transferred to the new World Golf Hall of Fame, there were some members of the PGA Hall of Fame who were not recognized at the facility in World Golf Village. In 2002, the PGA opened the PGA Historical Center [later the PGA Museum of Golf] at PGA Village in Port St. Lucie, Florida. This paved the way for the first home for the PGA Hall of Fame. The inaugural ceremony was conducted Sept. 8, 2005, as the Association recognized all PGA Members who have made significant and lasting contributions to building the PGA of America and the game of golf. In 2015, the PGA of America reinstituted its original Hall of Fame requirements to include non- PGA Members who have served as ambassadors of golf. In December 2015, the PGA Museum of Golf ceased operations, with the PGA Hall of Fame’s new location in transition.
