TEEING OFF PGA National’s Champion Course Debuts in EA Sports’ Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13 Originally designed by George and Tom Fazio, and redesigned by Jack Nicklaus, The Champion joins elite courses including Augusta National, Pebble Beach and St. Andrews as layouts in the world’s No. 1 selling golf video franchise. Additionally, Crooked Stick, The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, Royal Birkdale, Royal County Down and Valhalla are also newcomers. Fans can take to these courses with any one of 22 PGA TOUR golfers including Tiger Woods, 2011 U.S. Open

Champion Rory McIlory and 2010 PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year Rickie Fowler. “The Champion is one of the best-conditioned, strategically-demanding courses in the U.S. and we’re thrilled it’s among the select few chosen for EA Sports’ Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13,” says Joel Paige, Vice President and Managing Director. The Champion is home to the legendary “Bear Trap” (No. 15-17) which continues to live up to its reputation as one of the most demanding, three-hole stretches in the game. “There’s a pretty good reason they call it the Bear Trap because if it doesn’t get you one way, it’s going to get you another,” says Rory Sabbatini. When asked about The Bear Trap Jack Nicklaus says, “It’s not about length, it’s about precision. It’s about guts. It’s all about what do you have in your chest that you can finish those holes.”

PGA National Resort & Spa announces Partnership with Dr. Frederic Barr, Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon The Spa at PGA National has recently partnered with Dr. Fredric Barr of Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Barr regularly hosts “Beauty Days” and other special events for current and prospective clients at the Spa. Beauty Days happen once weekly where locals can come listen to educational seminars on all the latest in cosmetic spa and surgical procedures. After the 30 minute presentation including refreshments, attendees are welcome to ask questions, book appointments, and be seen in consultation with Dr. Barr and his staff. An added perk, all seminar attendees are welcome to use the Spa at PGA’s facilities for the day afterwards. This includes complimentary access to the exclusive Waters of the World amenity, a collection of six outdoor pools with healing properties. Headed by Fredric M. Barr, MD, Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery is one of the finest providers of plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in Palm Beach County, Florida. With a successful track record for over twenty years in the area, Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery is the surgical specialist that even physicians choose. The practice believes in three basic patient principles of understanding the unique needs of each patient, providing each patient with the utmost care and compassion, and making sure no question or issue goes unaddressed. It is for those reasons, along with the extensive skills and experience of Dr. Barr, that Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery is a premier choice for those desiring to be renewed in both beauty and spirit. When it’s time to look anew, look to Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery.

An Affair to Remember The new Bella Lago and Vista ballrooms embody the renewed, classic yet contemporary personality of PGA National Resort & Spa.

The Honda Pavilion overlooks the Master’s Practice Green, Champion Course, 8-acre lake and new resort pool.

The Champion Course THE MOST STORIED OF ALL THE COURSES AT PGA National, The Champion was the site of the the 1983 Ryder Cup, the 1987 PGA Championship, as well as the permanent home for the PGA Seniors' Championship from 1982-2000. The course underwent a $4 million redesign by Jack Nicklaus and the Nicklaus Design Team in 1990 followed by a renovation in 2002. From those changes the infamous "Bear Trap" was born with one of the toughest three hole stretches in golf. The Honda Classic, one of the premier stops on the PGA TOUR, is currently played here each spring. The Champion provides players with the finest playing surfaces available anywhere, and it leads PGA National’s lineup of award-winning courses.

THE HAIG WAS THE FIRST COURSE OPENED FOR play at PGA National Resort in 1980. Named after golf great Walter Hagen, this spectacular layout was designed by George and Tom Fazio to provide quality golf for all types of players. In fact, careful study reveals there are no crossing water hazards, so golfers always have the option of playing around rather than over or through - a water hazard. The 9th and 18th holes return to the Clubhouse area, facilitating 9-hole play from the 1st and 10th tees.

The Squire Course NAMED AFTER THE IMMORTAL GENE SARAZEN, THE FIRST golfer ever to win the professional Grand Slam, "the thinking man's course" is the ultimate test of accuracy and precision. Designed by Tom Fazio, the Squire is the shortest and the most exacting of the courses at PGA National Resort & Spa. Accuracy with fairway woods and long irons is tested on many tees and the new smaller "emerald bermuda" greens demand precise approach shots. Several doglegs provide a risk reward opportunity for any longer hitter as well. The Squire is surrounded by natural environmental areas and teeming with native vegetation, which attracts an abundance of wildlife. The 5th hole even runs along part of the wilderness preserve, which borders the west side of the PGA National community.

NAMED AFTER ITS DESIGNER, ARNOLD PALMER, this course is one of the more forgiving at PGA National from tee to fairway and known as a risk reward course. The open fairways and larger Champion Bermuda greens can be quite accommodating and invite players to take a chance if they dare as golfers are not overly penalized for missing the fairway or primary rough on most holes. There is a considerable amount of undulation through the fairway presenting the opportunity for uneven lies and creative shotmaking, and even a nod to its Scottish roots with a links style routing, and holes 8 and 12 sharing a common green. The Palmer has a great series of finishing holes, with the 18th being one of the most scenic and picturesque par 5s on the property.

Number of Water Hazards: 16 out of 18 holes Acreage of Course: 120 Average Size of Greens: 6,600 sq. ft.

The Estates Course DESIGNED BY KARL LITTEN, THE ESTATES COURSE HAS an enjoyable mix of challenging and docile holes. The course sets up for any level of player as it is one of the shorter courses at PGA National Resort & Spa. Where golfers are tested is in the formidable placement of fairway bunkers and water hazards. Generous fairways at this course will often make stray tee shots more manageable and the large, inviting greens help keep the course fun for the high handicapper. Forced carries to many of the greens over either hazards or bunkers create a test that makes each round more enjoyable than the last and with a very open feeling created by the property-wide housing set backs, the course seems almost like a core golf course. The Estates course is located 5 miles west of the main resort.

PGA National Resort & Spa might be famous for its amazing golf offerings, but the opportunities to reconnect with friends and make new acquaintances extend far beyond the golf courses, With an unparalleled dining and bar experience (nine different venues) highlighted by the Ironwood Steak & Seafood restaurant and iBAR, all culinary and cocktail desires are only steps away. As part of the recent revitalization the signature restaurant Ironwood Steak & Seafood, now gives an exciting new dimension to the dining experience. Providing a tantalizing dining experience, executive chef Gordon Maybury presents the highest quality ingredients, steaks and fresh Florida fish. Notable will be its “Tomahawk for Two” – a 32-ounce cross of Wagyu and Black Angus beef, dry-aged for 21 days — cooked to perfection at 1,200 degrees in its state-of-the-art Vulcan 1200 broiler. The new menu highlights also include locally caught Wahoo, crab-stuffed Maine lobster and a raw bar complete with succulent shellfish and sashimi. Ironwood Steak and Seafood boasts one of the most extensive wine lists in South Florida with over 350 topshelf selections. The centerpiece of the dining room experience is a floor-to-ceiling wine room with over 1,000 bottles of the finest vintages from the world over. With its storied golf history it will also present wines produced by PGA TOUR golf legends Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Ernie Els, Nick Faldo and Luke Donald. The unique design of Ironwood also features private dining spaces with room for up to 131 guests making it a perfect place for private parties.

LEGENDARY GOLF MOMENTS AT PGA NATIONAL A DIVOT TO REMEMBER The Ryder Cup Matches Oct. 14-16, 1983 PGA National Golf Club (Champion Course) Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. The 25th Ryder Cup Matches were anything but a repeat of past domination by the United States stable of talent. In fact, this edition staged at PGA National Golf Club’s Champion Course served as the transition to a new era of compelling drama in the sport. With both sides in an 8-8 deadlock following two days of competition, the remaining 12 singles matches were intense and featured some of the event’s most memorable shotmaking. Spain’s Seve Ballesteros secured a halve with Fuzzy Zoeller when he struck a 240-yard 3-wood

from a bunker on the 18th hole. The ball landed on the fringe of the green from where he chipped and saved par. Those who witnessed the shot have deemed it one of the greatest recovery performances in golf. Later, American Lanny Wadkins fell three down with seven to play against Spain’s Jose Maria Canizares. Wadkins trimmed the margin to one heading into the 18th hole, a par-5 dogleg left into the wind. Wadkins was encouraged when Canizares’ approach came up short of the green. Wadkins then hit a 60-yard pitching wedge approach to within a foot of the hole for a tap-in birdie to halve the match. So overcome with joy was U.S. Captain Jack Nicklaus that he marched to the spot where Wadkins hit his shot and bent down and kissed the ground. The U.S. then watched as Tom Watson bogeyed

Trailing third-round leader Dale Douglass by six strokes and upset over a round of 76, Chi Chi Rodriguez preceded his round by purchasing a new set of clubs from PGA National Golf Club. The result: a 5-under-par 67 to give the popular native Puerto Rican a one-stroke victory. Rodriguez later credited his longtime mentor, former Senior PGA Champion Pete Cooper, for his victory.

Larry Mowry of Atlanta, Ga., who was a “king” on the mini-tour circuit with 106 victories, snared one of senior golf’s biggest prizes by winning the 50th Senior PGA Championship.

1990 - GARY’S CHARMING THIRD PGA National Golf Club Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Gary Player became the fourth player in Senior PGA Championship history to win three or more championships, defeating one of the strongest fields ever assembled in the country’s oldest senior professional event. Player highlighted his brilliant play with a front nine 29 in the third round, on his way to a 65. That round featured an eagle on the third hole, a double bogey on the 14th and seven birdies. He finished 72 holes with a 7-under-par 281, was a two-stroke victory over former Champion Chi Chi Rodriguez and four

1992 - A RED-HOT MERRY MEX PGA National Golf Club Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Lee Trevino won his first Senor PGA Championship in dramatic fashion, making par-saving putts on the final two holes to finish at 10-under-par 278 and holding off Mike Hill by one stroke. Hill’s final-round 69 was the lowest round of the day. Trevino, 52, earned his 38th career victory and became the 10th player to have won the PGA Championship (1 974, ‘84) and the PGA Seniors’ Championship.

PGA National Golf Club Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Tom Wargo of Centralia, Ill., became the first PGA club professional since 1979 to win one of senior golf’s major championships, and accomplished the feat in a memorable extra-hole duel. Wargo, who hadn’t taken up golf until age 25, was tied by Bruce Crampton after 72 holes at 13-under-par 275. Wargo defeated Crampton in a two-holE playoff, highlighted by a spectacular save for par from a greenside bunker on the 16th hole at PGA National’s Champion Course.

stretch nicknamed “The Bear Trap.” Floyd knocked two balls into the water and posted a quadruple bogey on the 164-yard 15th hole. Then, Floyd capped his frustrations by hitting a 7-iron into the pond and came out with a double bogey on the par-3 17th. Trevino walked away with his second Senior PGA Championship in three years. Trevino made an insignificant bogey on the 72nd hole to finish with a 2-under-par 70 and a 9under-par 279. He was a stroke better than Jim Colbert and two strokes ahead of Floyd (75) and Dave Stockton (72).

Crampton followed by sending his tee shot on the par-3 17th hole into the water. Wargo’s tee shot found the middle of the green from where he two-putted for victory. “This one is for all the club professionals and the fans,” said Wargo, hoisting the Alfred S. Bourne Trophy.

1994 - BEAR TRAP SWALLOWS FLOYD, TREVINO EMERGES UNSCATHED PGA National Golf Club Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Raymond Floyd, once revered as one of the game’s all-time top front-runners, squandered a four-stroke lead on the final nine holes at PGA National Golf Club’s Champion Course. Playing partner Lee Trevino cashed in on Floyd’s misadventure into the closing four-hole

PGA National Golf Club Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. There was no reason to look back, Raymond Floyd said, only forward in a bid for his first Senior PGA Championship. Floyd became the 11th player in history to win both a PGA Seniors’ Championship and PGA Championship by avenging his 1994 final-round collapse. Floyd built a two-stroke lead on Jim Colbert after three rounds and made two front-nine birdies in the final round before stringing together 14 consecutive pars and a five-stroke victory margin over John Paul Cain, Larry Gilbert and two-time champion Lee Trevino. Floyd punctuated his loth career victory as a senior professional by hitting 61 of 72 greens in regulation, the most of any player in the 56th Senior PGA Championship.

sweet redemption among the swaying palms at PGA National Golf Club by winning the 57th Senior PGA Championship. A three-time U.S. Open champion, Irwin withstood a shaky 74 in the second round, built his lead to four strokes heading into the “Bear Trap” final stretch of holes at the Champion Course and deflected the challenges of Japan’s Isao Aoki and Argentinean Vicente Fernandez. Perhaps Irwin’s defining moment of the Championship was a tee shot on the treacherous par-3 15th hole. His ball landed 35 feet from the flagstick but was dry. He cruised home for a 71, with meaningless bogeys on the final two holes not spoiling his first major championship as a senior player. Dave Stockton

1997 - IRWIN LEAVES HIS IMPRINT PGA National Golf Club Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. After winning his first Senior PGA Championship in 1996, Hale Irwin said he was disappointed that he couldn’t keep the momentum alive the remainder of the year.

things that maybe I shouldn’t be trying.” Irwin arrived at PGA National Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., a year later on a mission. Winning wasn’t the only thought he had. He had designs on a greater year. Irwin posted a methodical 4-under-par 68 on his way to a 12-stroke victory and a second consecutive title in the 58th Senior PGA Championship presented by Advil. It was the largest victory margin for any Champions Tour professional and the second-highest margin in Senior PGA Championship history. Sam Snead won by 15 strokes in 1973, just three miles down the road at now-BallenIsles Country Club. The 51-year-old Irwin became the first back-to-back winner in Championship history since Snead

ond player to win three consecutive Senior PGA Championships. Irwin became the first player since 1956 — when Peter Thomson won a third straight British Open — to win three consecutive major championships on any tour. Larry Nelson finished runner-up and Gil Morgan was eight strokes back after each had closing 72s. Irwin’s preparation was one reason he handled the changing wind conditions. He arrived six days early to PGA National’s Champion Course to practice. Said Nelson, "Hale just played great. He did what he had to do and didn’t leave any room for anybody to catch him."

FORMER HOCKEY PLAYER SCORES A MAJOR GOAL Senior PGA Championship PGA National Golf Club Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. April 15-18, 1999 Allen Doyle, who played college hockey in Vermont and didn’t declare himself a professional golfer until 1995, finished with a final-round record 8-under-par 64 to win the 60th Senior PGA Championship. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Doyle became the 18th player to win the Senior PGA Championship in his first attempt. He overpowered the Champion Course in the final round, a performance that included an eagle chip-in on the par-5 10th hole and a 186-yard 3-iron approach to the 16th that left him with a one-foot birdie putt. Doyle’s 14-under-par 274 total, two strokes better than Argentinian Vicente Fernandez. Doyle’s golf swing closely resembles that of a hockey player and the Champion was reminded of that. “I should have brought a hockey helmet and put it on coming down the 18th hole,” he said. “Then, I’d really be known for something.” But Doyle left his mark, helmet or not. He finished his first year as a senior professional with four victories.

LEGENDARY GOLF MOMENTS TEWELL-TIME AT PGA NATIONAL Senior PGA Championship PGA National Golf Club Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. April 13-17, 2000 In just his 12th start as a senior Tour professional, Doug Tewell may have found his lost touch. Tewell, who believed he had what it takes to win on the over-50 circuit, was a model of consistency during a Senior PGA Championship that ran anywhere but to form. Despite seven weather interruptions that extended the Championship to Monday and trimmed the event for the first time since 1957 to 54 holes, Tewell shined. The former Oklahoma State

standout took the lead with a birdie on the second hole of the second round (a round of 66 that took 2 days to complete) and held the lead the final 34 holes. His winning 15-under-par 201 was seven strokes ahead of Dana Quigley, Larry Nelson, Tom Kite and three-time Champion Hale Irwin. Tewell became the 19th player in history to win the Senior PGA Championship on his first attempt.

2007 HONDA CLASSIC: Mark Wilson birdied the third playoff hole to edge Jose Coceres in a Monday playoff that also began with Boo Weekley and Camilo Villegas. Wilson rolled in a 10-footer on the par-3 17th, then watched as Coceres' putt

from the almost identical spot hit the lip and rolled away.

2008 HONDA CLASSIC: Ending an almost four-year drought between PGA TOUR victories, Ernie Els shot a 67 in the final round to win the tournament. Overcoming a 3 stroke deficit and a hard fought battle with The Bear Trap, Els' 3-under edged out 2006 champion Luke Donald by one shot and just two ahead of Nathan Green.

2009 HONDA CLASSIC: Y.E. Yang stayed alone in the lead the whole way during the final round shooting a 2-under 68 to finish one
