  • Jack Nicklaus Gary Player Lee Trevino
    PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW: JACK NICKLAUS GARY PLAYER LEE TREVINO April 19, 2017 DAVE SENKO: I would like to thank everyone for coming today and joining us for our three World Golf Hall of Famers, Lee Trevino, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus. Before we open it up for questions, maybe if you can just share your thoughts on coming back to this Top of the Rock and what a special event this is each year, a team event, playing with guys you played with on tour for many years. LEE TREVINO: Of all the years we've been coming back, I came here to do the press conference when I found out that Johnny Morris and Bass Pro Shops were going to sponsor the Legends. We had not had the Legends for what, four or five years, and we were down in Savannah. And I came here to do the press conference, and it's phenomenal what they've done here. It's absolutely phenomenal. I don't think at the time -- we were looking at Buffalo Ridge and I didn't think at the time we played, Jack and I played there the first year and it was so soggy and everything. I told them they had to take those fairways up and cap them. But he's done a great job here. I think he finally looked at golf and seeing what revenue not only the game could bring him, but the people that he could get to come to this area. I was talking to someone this morning about Johnny Morris and I summed it up like this: I said, you know, there's a lot of people in this country that are extremely wealthy that give their money to charity.
