TIGER WOODS COMMITS AND WILL PLAY IN THE 2015 CLASSIC

 

TIGER WOODS JOINS 2015 FIELD AT  THE GREENBRIER CLASSIC

 

White Sulphur Springs, WV – April 29, 2015: Officials of  The Greenbrier Classic announced today that 14-time Major Championship winner, 11-time PGA TOUR Player of the Year and two-time FedExCup Champion, Tiger Woods at The Old White TPC Course.

 

The Greenbrier Classic will take place from June 29 – July 5, 2015 at The Greenbrier, the classic American resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV.

 

Woods, 39, will be making his second appearance at The Greenbrier Classic. Since turning professional in 1996 he has amassed 79 PGA TOUR victories, second all-time behind Sam Snead, former pro-emeritus at The Greenbrier resort, who recorded 82 titles. Woods’ record includes 14 professional major championships and the 2007 and 2009 FedExCup titles. He is one of only five players in the history of the game to win a career Grand Slam, joining Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen – all winners of the U.S. Open, PGA Championship, British Open and Masters Tournament.

 

Woods is No. 1 on the career money list with more than $109 million in earnings, a drop in the bucket to what he has earned in endorsements over the years. He has been a member of seven U.S. Ryder Cup teams (1997, 1999, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2012) and eight U.S. Presidents Cup teams (1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013).

 

“We are pleased and excited to have one of the all-time greats in the game join The Greenbrier Classic’s 2015 field,” said Jim Justice, chairman and owner of The Greenbrier. “Tiger is one of the biggest stars in all of sport and he brings significant attention to any event he enters. All involved with The Greenbrier Classic look forward to hosting Tiger on The Old White TPC Course as one of the professionals in this year’s field at America’s resort.”
