ABOUT BIRDIES FOR CHARITY Birdies for Charity is a fund-raising program designed to give participating charities the opportunity to generate contributions for their organization based on the number of “birdies” made by PGA TOUR Champions players during the 2019 Rapiscan Systems Classic.

GOLF ON THE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST THE GULFPORT OPEN (1944-45) The Gulfport Open was a two-year stop for the players on the PGA TOUR following World War II. It was played at the Great Southern Golf Club of Gulfport, the state’s oldest golf course, with the 1945 tournament leaving a lasting memory. Year Winner 1944 Harold “Jug” McSpaden recorded one of his 17 PGA Tour victories. It was one of his five victories that year. 1945 Sam Snead defeated Byron Nelson in a 19-hole playoff after the two were tied at the end of regulation. Nelson rallied from that loss to win 18 tournaments that year, including a record-setting 11 in a row. MORE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST EVENTS It is now known as the Nationwide Tour, but when it was begun in 1990, it was known as the Ben Hogan Tour.

And in 1999, after a year hiatus, it relocated to Oaks Golf Club and was entitled the Mississippi Gulf Coast Open. In 2000, the Tour changed title sponsors to the Buy.com Tour.

Woosnam has the opportunity to join Bernhard Langer as the only player in tournament history to successfully defend his title. Langer, who accomplished the feat by winning the 2007 and 2008 Insperity Invitational, will not be competing this year so he can attend his daughter’s college graduation. Joining Woosnam will be seven other past winners of Houston’s PGA TOUR Champions event—Larry Nelson (2004), Mark McNulty (2005), Jay Haas (2006), John Cook (2009), Brad Faxon (2011), Fred Funk (2012) and Esteban Toledo (2013). In addition, five World Golf Hall-of-Fame members are currently in the field: Tom Kite, Mark O’Meara, Curtis Strange, Colin Montgomerie and Sandy Lyle. “The field for this year’s tournament will once again be a fantastic combination of golf’s legends, new PGA TOUR Champions members, Hall of Fame members and the best players in the world age 50 and over,” said Bryan Naugle, Executive Director of the Insperity Invitational. “We are excited with all aspects of the tournament both on and off the golf course. The fans in the Houston area are in for a real treat as this annual tradition continues.” There are eight categories of eligibility in the invitational format, making this event unique on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule.
