At the 1996 Presidents Cup, golf’s five world governing bodies—the European Tour, Japan Golf Tour Organization, PGA TOUR, PGA Tour of Australasia and Sunshine Tour—reached agreement on several key elements of professional golf designed to create new international events, beginning in 1999. Three major initiatives were outlined at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, site of the second Presidents Cup: • Formation of the International Federation of PGA Tours; • A structure for a generally accepted worldwide ranking system; • Joint sanctioning by the members of the International Federation of PGA Tours of significant competitions, including some at the world championship level for the game’s top players. Those “significant competitions” were announced in October 1997 when the Federation introduced the World Golf Championships. The World Golf Championships were developed to enhance the competitive structure of professional golf worldwide while preserving the traditions and strengths of the individual Tours and their events. The first three jointly sanctioned championships—the Accenture Match Play Championship, the NEC Invitational (now Bridgestone Invitational) and the American Express Championship (now CA Championship)—were launched in 1999 with Jeff Maggert winning the first event and Tiger Woods the latter two. The addition of the World Cup was announced in December 1999 and was played as a World Golf Championships event from 2000-06. The 2008 season marked
the 10th year of the World Golf Championships series. The World Golf Championships’ events feature players from around the world competing against one another in varied formats. World Golf Championships’ events have been contested on five continents and in nine countries and feature some of the largest purses in professional golf. The Asian Tour joined the International Federation of PGA Tours as a full-fledged member in November 1999, while the Canadian Tour was named an associate member in March 2000. The Tour de las Americas joined the Federation as an associate member in 2007. Accenture, Bridgestone and CA are the umbrella sponsors of the World Golf Championships. Kohler and Rolex are official sponsors. Fields for the World Golf Championships are filled primarily through the Official World Golf Ranking, which is endorsed by all the sport’s major professional organizations and governing bodies, and individual Tours’ Official Money Lists/Orders of Merit. This season, the World Golf Championships begins in February with the Accenture Match Play Championship at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain in Marana, Arizona. In March, the CA Championship returns to Doral Golf Resort & Spa’s Blue Course, A Marriott Resort, in Doral, Florida. And in August, the South Course at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio, welcomes back the Bridgestone Invitational.

The Presidents Cup The eighth Presidents Cup will be contested at Harding Park Golf Course in San Francisco in 2009. San Francisco is only the second U.S. city selected to host the event and the first location on the West Coast. U.S. Team Captain Fred Couples and International Team Captain Greg Norman are both major championship winners and both have played in The Presidents Cup during their stellar careers, which is a first for captains in The Presidents Cup history. Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia will host the event in 2011, becoming the first golf course outside the United States to host The Presidents Cup more than once. History The Presidents Cup was developed to give the world’s best non-European players an opportunity to compete in international team match-play competition. A biennial event, the first Presidents Cup was played Sept. 16-18, 1994, at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. The U.S. Team, captained by Hale Irwin, defeated Captain David Graham’s International side, 20-12. The U.S. Team retained The Cup in 1996, but the Internationals scored their only outright win in The Presidents Cup during the following staging, in 1998 in Australia. In 2000, the U.S. Team avenged the loss with an impressive 11-point victory over the Internationals, taking their record to 3-1-0. The Presidents Cup 2003 was originally scheduled for November 2002, but was postponed one year in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. Played at The Links at Fancourt Hotel and Country Club Estate in George, South Africa, the competition ended in a tie. After both teams completed regulation tied at 17 points, Ernie Els of the International Team and Tiger Woods of the U.S. were designated to represent their teams in a suddendeath playoff. After three playoff holes, and as darkness was descending, Captains Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus, in the spirit of the competition, decided that the two teams would share the Cup. The Presidents Cup 2005, played for a fourth time at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Prince William County, VA, came down to the final hole. When American Chris DiMarco birdied the 18th hole in Sunday’s singles to defeat Stuart Appleby, 1-up, he gave the Americans an 181/2 -151/2 victory. The U.S. wrapped up its fifth Presidents Cup in seven tries at Royal Montreal Golf Club in 2007 with a 191/2-141/2 victory, the U.S. Team’s first at an international venue in 14 years of team competition. David Toms earned the most points for the U.S. Team, while Woody Austin earned several new nicknames after falling into the lake on hole 14 while attempting a shot. And while his team did not win, Canadian golf hero Mike Weir thrilled the crowds with a 1-up victory over World No. 1 Tiger Woods in Sunday’s Singles competition. Former U.S. President Gerald Ford presided over the first Presidents Cup as Honorary Chairman. Former President George H.W. Bush, like Ford an avid golfer, served as Honorary Chairman for The Presidents Cup 1996. Australian
Prime Minister John Howard was Honorary Chairman for the 1998 event. In 2000, President Bill Clinton made history when he became the first sitting president to serve as Honorary Chairman. In 2003, Thabo Mbeki, President of the Republic of South Africa, was Honorary Chairman. Current President George W. Bush served as the Honorary Chairman of The Presidents Cup 2005, and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was the 2007 Honorary Chairman. The Honorary Co-Chairmen for 2009 are Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mayor Gavin Newsom. The Honorary Chairman will be announced in 2009. The Presidents Cup follows the PGA TOUR creed of giving back. There is no purse for the players. Net revenues are divided into equal shares that the players and captains designate for charities or golf-related projects of their choice. The first seven Presidents Cups generated more than $17 million for charities worldwide, including a record $4.2 million donation from the 2007 event. Eligibility Members of the 2009 U.S. Team will be selected based on official earnings from the start of the 2008 season through the 2009 PGA Championship. International Team players for the 2009 Presidents Cup will be chosen on the basis of the Official World Golf Ranking and does not include players eligible for the European Ryder Cup Team. The eligibility rankings are used to select 10 members for both squads. The 12-man teams are rounded out by two Captain’s Choices per team. Structure and Scoring The Presidents Cup competition consists of 34 matches—11 Foursomes (alternate shot) and 11 Four-ball (better ball) matches. There are 12 Singles matches involving all players on the final Sunday. All matches are worth one point each, for a total of 34 points. There are no playoffs for Foursomes or Fourball, with each side receiving 1/2 point if the match finishes all-square after 18 holes. Singles matches all square after 18 holes will go to extra holes until a team winner is determined. In a change inspired by the events of the 2003 Presidents Cup, if the match is deadlocked at the end of Singles play, the competition will be deemed a tie and the teams will share The Presidents Cup.
2009 Presidents Cup Captains: Greg Norman, International (L) and Fred Couples, U.S.

Official World Golf Ranking The Official World Golf Ranking, which is endorsed by the four major championships and six professional Tours that make up the International Federation of PGA Tours, is issued every Monday following the completion of the previous week’s tournaments from around the world. Results from events on the world’s leading professional tours—the Asian Tour, PGA Tour of Australasia, European Tour, Japan Golf Tour, PGA TOUR, Nationwide Tour, Sunshine Tour, Canadian Tour and European Challenge Tour—are evaluated, and points are awarded according to the players’ finishing positions. Tournaments are “rated” according to the strength of field based on the number and ranking of the world’s top 200 players in respective tournament fields (event “ratings”). In addition, some strength-of-field weighting is given to the inclusion in each field of a significant percentage of the top 30 on the host Tour’s prior year Official Money Lists. The four major championships and THE PLAYERS Championship are rated separately to reflect the higher field quality of the events. In addition, the BMW Championship in Europe and the Australian, Japanese and South African Open Championships, the Nationwide Tour Championship and Volvo Masters of Asia are allocated higher minimum point levels to reflect their status as each Tour’s flagship event. The Official World Golf Ranking points for each player are accumulated over a two-year “rolling” period. Each player then is ranked according to his average points per tournament, which is determined by dividing his total number of points by the tournaments he has played over that two-year period. There is a minimum requirement of 40 tournaments for the two-year period. Rank Player

Rank Player
The winners of the Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship are awarded 100 points (60 points for second place, 40 for third, 30 for fourth, down to 1.5 points for a player completing the final round), and the winner of THE PLAYERS Championship is awarded 80 points (points are awarded down to 60th place). The BMW Championship has a minimum of 64 points for the winner (points down to 56th place). In addition, the Open Championships of Australia, Japan and South Africa have a minimum of 32 points for the winner (points awarded down to 37th place). The Nationwide Tour Championship and Volvo Masters of Asia winners receive 20 points (points awarded down to 22nd place). Minimum points levels for winners of all the other official Tour events have been set at six points for the Canadian Tour; 12 points for the European Challenge (points to 14th place); 14 points for the Nationwide Tour, Sunshine Tour, and Asian Tour (points to 17th place); 16 points for Australasia and Japan (points to 19th place); and 24 points for Europe and the United States (points to 27th place). In January 2007, a new feature was added to the ranking system. Points entered by a player in a particular tournament maintain their full value for 13 weeks then are devalued by 1.1% each of the next 91 weeks before dropping completely off a player’s 2-year record, thereby cutting the sudden and sometimes dramatic impact of the reduction of points that previously occurred at the 13-week anniversaries of events in which players earn points. Full Ranking points are awarded for tournaments reduced to 54 holes because of inclement weather or other reasons. For events completing only 36 holes, Ranking points are reduced by 25 percent. The Official World Golf Ranking is available each week at PGA TOUR sites or by going to officialworldgolfranking.com or owgr.com. The top 75 as of Nov. 10, 2008 (the last ranking of official 2008 PGA TOUR season) follows:

Kodak Challenge In 2009, Kodak and the PGA TOUR will debut the Kodak Challenge, a first-of-its-kind competition for PGA TOUR players and fans that celebrates beautiful holes and memorable moments on the PGA TOUR. In 2009, 24 PGA TOUR tournaments will feature a designated Kodak Challenge hole. Players must play at least 18 of the 24 Kodak Challenge holes throughout the season to compete for $1 million and the Kodak Challenge title. A player’s lowest score relative to par on his best 18 Kodak Challenge holes will be counted. The player with the lowest cumulative score relative to par wins. In the case of a tie, a sudden death playoff will take place on the final Kodak Challenge hole immediately following the conclusion of the Children’s Miracle Network Classic presented by Wal-Mart. The Kodak Challenge holes were selected by an Advisory Board of leading golf experts and influentials: David Feherty, CBS Sports golf analyst; Rees Jones, golf course architect; Jules Alexander, golf photographer; Andy Pazder, PGA TOUR Senior VP, Tournament Administration; and Lance Barrow, CBS Sports golf, Coordinating Producer. Holes were selected based on their beauty and their connection to memorable moments in golf. “We are thrilled to partner with the PGA TOUR on the Kodak Challenge, a unique and compelling competition for players and fans. We look forward to the many Kodak Moments to come all year long,” said Jeffrey W. Hayzlett, Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company. “The
excitement and anticipation will build throughout the season as players step up to each Kodak Challenge hole and compete for the one million dollars. All they have to do is play – it’s that simple. But with a million dollars on the line, they might just grip the club a little tighter.” For more information on the Kodak Challenge, go to kodakchallenge. com and pgatour.com/kodakchallenge.
