Fred Couples

Corey Pavin

I must be getting really old, ’cause Fred Couples and Corey Pavin are joining the 50 and older Champions Tour! Maybe, if I sent each of them a case of Grecian Formula and a back-brace, they would consider staying on the regular tour. We don’t get to see much of the Champions Tour, so I’ll miss them as I do Arnie, Jack, Gary, Lee, and many others.

They will be joining six others……Ben Crenshaw, Hale Irwin, Bruce Lietzke, Mark O’Meara, Gary Player and Curtis Strange…..all 8 with sponsors exemptions, in the season opening Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai. The tournament is the first of 26 official Champions Tour events for 2010 and will be held for the 14th straight year at the Jack Nicklaus designed Hualalai Golf Course in Ka’upulehu-Kona, Hawaii on January 19-24. The eight will join a field of eligible players who are winners of Champions Tour major championships in the last five years and winners of Champions Tour co-sponsored events which awarded official money in the past two years.
