• Scott Hoch (November, 2005), Fred Funk (June) and Chip Beck (September) will be eligible to join the Champions Tour as fully-exempt players based on their PGA TOUR/Nationwide Tour career earnings. Hoch becomes eligible at the Turtle Bay Championship (January 23-29) but will not debut until later in the season due to hand surgery. Funk, the 2005 PLAYERS Championship winner, could make his first start on the circuit at the Commerce Bank Championship (June 19-25). Beck, a four-time winner on the PGA TOUR, becomes eligible at the Constellation Energy Classic (September 11-17). Other former PGA TOUR winners who will be first-time Champions Tour players in 2006 include Bill Britton, David Edwards, Kenny Knox, Jack Renner, Tony Sills and Tim Simpson. • This year marks the Tour’s 27th season. The Champions Tour will play its 800th official event at this year’s FedEx Kinko’s Classic in Austin (April 24-30). Austin resident Tom Kite was the winner of the Champions Tour’s 700th event, the Napa Valley Championship, on October 13, 2002. • The Champions Tour returns to Mexico for the Puerto Vallarta Golf Classic, March 26-April 2. The newest event on the schedule will be held at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Vista Vallarta Golf Club, the site for the 2002 World Golf Championships-EMC World Cup on the PGA TOUR. • Several tournaments have new names and new venues this year. The Blue Angels Classic becomes the Boeing Championship at Sandestin and will move from The Moors in Milton, FL, to the Raven Golf Club at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The Bruno’s Memorial Classic becomes the Regions Charity Classic in Birmingham, AL, and moves from Greystone Golf & Country Club to the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Ross Bridge. The Allianz Championship near Des Moines, IA, returns to Glen Oaks Country Club after a year at the Tournament Club of Iowa. The Senior British Open returns to the Ailsa course at Turnberry in Scotland where it was held in 2004. The Bayer Advantage Classic becomes the Greater Kansas City Golf Classic. • Bruce Summerhays begins the season having made 124 consecutive appearances for which he’s been eligible. Bob Gilder enters this year having played in 36 straight events overall, currently the longest run, dating back to the 2004 JELD-WEN Tradition. Dana Quigley’s record streak of consecutive Champions Tour events ended at 278 straight that he was eligible for and 264 in a row when he elected not to play the 2005 Senior British Open. • Tom Watson defends the Charles Schwab Cup for the second time, having earned the prestigious award and $1 million tax-deferred annuity by 247 points over Dana Quigley. Watson won his first Charles Schwab Cup in 2003. Hale Irwin is the only other two-time Charles Schwab Cup winner, claiming the award in 2002 and 2004. • Dana Quigley looks to become the first player to win back-to-back Arnold Palmer Awards since Hale Irwin (1997-98). Quigley, the only player to go over the $2-million mark in single-season earnings last year, could also become the seventh player in Champions Tour history to lead the money list in consecutive years. Things to Look for in 2006 PGATOUR.com Champions Tour 2006 Guide • Hale Irwin will be looking to continue his Champions Tour success. The 60-year-old winner of 44 Champions Tour titles has multiple victories in a record 11 consecutive years. No other player has done it more than six times. If Irwin wins twice this year, he would not only extend his streak of seasons winning multiple events but would also add to his record as the oldest player ever to earn at least two wins in a single season. Should he earn $1 million on the year, it would increase his record for consecutive seven-figure seasons to 11. • In January, Irwin will also have a chance to win the Turtle Bay Championship for an unprecedented sixth straight time and seventh overall. Last year on the north shore of Hawaii, Irwin became the first player to win a men’s professional tour event five straight times, easily holding off Quigley by five strokes. Irwin has won eight official events in Hawaii, dating back to the PGA TOUR’s 1981 Hawaiian Open. • Irwin and Morgan will also be seeking return trips to the Charles Schwab Cup Championship for the top-30 money-winners. Irwin has appeared in the season-ending event 11 straight years, while Morgan has been there nine consecutive seasons. • The Champions Tour begins plays in the 2006 season having had 20 or more different winners in 14 of the last 15 years, dating back to 1991. The only time there were not 20 or more winners was in 2005. There have also been at least five first-time winners in every season since 1997. • Will there be a repeat winner at the tournament in Birmingham? Since its inception in 1992, no former winner has repeated, the longest string of any event on the Champions Tour. • Bob Eastwood (February), Vicente Fernandez (April), David Graham (May) and Hugh Baiocchi (August) all become eligible to join the Georgia-Pacific Grand Champions competition (age 60 and older). • In each of the last four years, there have been a double-digit number of winners over the age of 55. Last year, 12 of 28 tournaments were won by players over 55, and in 2004 13 of 30 the winners were over age 55. In 2003, 10 of 31 events were won by players 55 and older. In 2002, a dozen victories were by players 55 and older. • The Golf Channel continues to be the primary carrier of Champions Tour events in 2006. Last year, The Golf Channel televised approximately 450 hours of Champions Tour golf and many more hours of ancillary programming. SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1-15
