Ian Woosnam Returning to Defend Title Tournament Field Includes Past Champions & Hall of Famers
Ian Woosnam Returning to Defend Title Tournament Field Includes Past Champions & Hall of Famers THE WOODLANDS, TX – April 12, 2016 —The Insperity Invitational presented by UnitedHealthcare will be celebrating its 13th anniversary May 2-8 as the 2015 champion Ian Woosnam returns to compete against one of the strongest fields on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule. 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. -
COLIN MONTGOMERIE Thursday, February 13, 2014
PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT: COLIN MONTGOMERIE Thursday, February 13, 2014 DAVE SENKO: Well, Colin, thanks for joining us. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Not at all, thank you. DAVE SENKO: A T-10 last week. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: T-10, that's what you call it over here. DAVE SENKO: And you had kind of -- you were all over the world prior to that. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Yes, I was. DAVE SENKO: Maybe fill us in on the last few weeks, I know you were in South Africa. COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Sure we started in South Africa in January, then we moved on to the Middle East for three tournaments there. Then across to Florida from the Middle East, which is a nine hour time difference and I really took a long -- I'm taking longer as I get older to get over the jet lag. I used to be quite good at it 25 years ago, but now it's taking longer so hopefully this week I can do better than T-10 as they say. That's tied. We would call it 10th equal, you call it T-10. It's the same, just a different wording. You've changed it. DAVE SENKO: How did you play last week? COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Yeah, I mean, you've got to -- I found, I keep on saying this, if I ever underestimated anything, it's the standard of play out here. The standard of play is extremely good. I didn't see 60 last week. I must admit that was a fantastic score for Michael Allen and all credit to him for hanging on. -

Sporting Legends: Seve Ballesteros
SPORTING LEGENDS: SEVE BALLESTEROS SPORT: GOLF COMPETITIVE ERA: 1974 - 2008 Severiano "Seve" Ballesteros (born 9 April 1957 in Pedreña, Spain) is a Spanish golfer who was one of the sport's leading figures in the 1980s and 1990s. Ballesteros turned professional in March 1974 at the age of 16. In 1976, he burst onto the international scene with a second-place finish in The Open Championship; he went on to win the European Tour Order of Merit (money title) that year, and repeated his Order of Merit win the following two years. He would go on to win the Order of Merit six times, a record at that time (since surpassed by Colin Montgomerie). Ballesteros went on to win five major championships: The Masters: 1980, 1983 His 1980 win was the first at Augusta by a European player. The Open Championship: 1979, 1984, 1988. He was also a great at match play; he won the World Match Play Championship five times, and was a mainstay of the European Ryder Cup team for much of the 1980s and 1990s. He scored 20 points out of 37 matches against the United States; his partnership with José María Olazábal was one of the most successful in the history of the competition, with 11 wins and two halved matches out of 15 pairs matches. While Ballesteros was a member of European sides that won the Ryder Cup in 1985, retained the Cup in 1987 and 1989, and regained the Cup in 1995, the pinnacle of his career in the competition came in 1997, when he captained the winning European side at Valderrama Golf Club in Sotogrande, Spain. -

During the day's press conference, Scott Kelly, Marketing Director of the PGA European Tour emotionally welcomed the change on behalf of the PGA European Tour. The 2011 Vivendi Trophy The Vivendi Trophy takes place every two years, alternating with the Ryder Cup. The Vivendi Trophy 2011 will take place from 15th to 18th September at the Saint-Nom-La- Bretèche Golf Course.
