The Champions Tour started in 1980 with four events and total official prize money was

2 $475,000. THE ROAD TO THE CHARLES SCHWAB CUP: The Charles Schwab Cup, now in its ninth year, is designed to recognize the Champions Tour s leading player. The seasonlong bonus-points competition rewards players for top-10 finishes at all 25 official events based on each week s money distribution. For example, $1,000 earned would be the equivalent of one Schwab Cup point (points are doubled at the five major championships during the year and also at the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship). The program offers $2.1 million in payouts to the five leading performers, with the winner receiving $1 million. Jay Haas captured his second Charles Schwab Cup last year, holding off Fred Funk by just 12 points in the closest race ever. In 2006, Haas held off Loren Roberts by only 20 points for his first Charles Schwab Cup. Roberts turned the tables on Haas in 2007, besting him for the Schwab Cup by just 165 points. Other winners of the Schwab Cup include: Allen Doyle (2001), Hale Irwin (2002, 2004) and Tom Watson (2003, 2005). TITLE SPONSOR: Since 1912, Liberty Mutual has been committed to providing broad, useful and competitively-priced insurance products and services to meet customers ever-changing needs. Liberty Mutual is the 6th largest P&C insurance company in the United States and has earned an A.M. Best Co. A (Excellent) rating.

Liberty Mutual Group employs over 39,000 people in more than 900 offices throughout the world. TOURNAMENT HISTORY: This year will be the 32nd Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf and the 30 th anniversary for Liberty Mutual as the title sponsor of the event, the longest-running on the Champions Tour. This tournament is also the second oldest in senior golf with only the 70-year-old Senior PGA Championship exceeding it in longevity. The first Legends of Golf event was contested at Onion Creek Country Club in 1978, two years before the start of the Champions Tour, as an unofficial team event and two years prior to Liberty Mutual s title sponsorship of the tournament. This event is credited with helping spawn what is now known as the Champions Tour. Its $400,000 purse in 1978 was the largest in professional golf at the time. The winners of the first event were Sam Snead and Gardner Dickinson, who prevailed by a stroke over Peter Thomson and Kel Nagle in the team better-ball format. In the 1979 Legends event, people started talking when Art Wall and Tommy Bolt made five birdies in a playoff only to be matched by five birdies from the team of Julius Boros and Roberto DeVicenzo. Boros and De Vicenzo finally prevailed that year by making birdie on the sixth extra hole. The real winner, however, was the formation of the Senior PGA Tour, now known as the Champions Tour. The Legends Division remained an unofficial team event through 2001 with the exception of 1993 when it was contested as a stroke-play event. However in 2002, the Legends Division became an official stroke-play tournament and was played under that format through In 2008, the Legends Division reverted back to a team better-ball format but with official money for the first time. The tournament added a Legendary Division in 1987 (later

3 changed to the Raphael Division in 2002) and a Demaret Division in 1993 (players 70- plus). Both of those remain unofficial events and award unofficial money. A LOOK BACK AT 2008: Tom Watson and Andy North survived a late run from the team of Craig Stadler and Jeff Sluman but went on to prevail by one stroke in the better-ball team format, the first time it s been a team event with official money. Stadler and Sluman, playing one hole ahead of Watson and North, pulled even several times on the back nine only to have Watson and North regain the lead. Watson finally sealed the deal with an 18-foot birdie putt on No. 17. For North, the victory was his first official title since the 1985 U.S. Open at Oakland Hills. LIBERTY MUTUAL LEGENDS OF GOLF STORYLINES UNIQUE TEAM FORMAT MAKES EVENT SPECIAL: The Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf Legends Division will again be a full team, better-ball competition and the Legends Division will again be played for official money. The winning team will again receive a one-year exemption into all Champions Tour events with the exception of the major championships. The Raphael and Demaret Divisions will remain as they were previously, unofficial team events. The Raphael Division competition is a 36-hole, twoman better-ball event playing for unofficial money. The Demaret Division (players 70+) will also be a 36-hole better-ball competition and will play on Monday and Tuesday of tournament week. LEHMAN TO DEBUT: Tom Lehman will make his first appearance on the Champions Tour at this year s Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf, teaming with good friend Bernhard Langer in the Legends Division. Lehman turned 50 on March 7, but he has been busy with a full slate of PGA TOUR events leading up to this week. At the Transitions Championship near Tampa in mid-march, Lehman held the 54-hole lead in the tournament and eventually finished T8 at Innisbrook Resort. OTHER NEW FACES AT THIS YEAR S LEGENDS: In addition to Tom Lehman, several other Champions Tour players will make their first appearances in this year s Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf.

Weibring) and Ken Green (Mike Reid). CAN WATSON/NORTH CONTINUE SUCCESS?: After three successive titles in the unofficial Raphael Division and an official victory last year in the Legends Division, Andy North and Tom Watson look to continue their success in the tournament when they defend their title this year. North and Watson have gone a remarkable 162 consecutive holes without making a bogey dating back to Last year, North and Watson became the ninth team to go wire-to-wire in this event. North also led start to finish with Jim Colbert in both 2000 and This year, the duo looks to become the sixth team to defend a title Don January/Gene Littler ( ), Bruce Crampton/Orville Moody ( ), Lee Trevino/Mike Hill ( , ), Jim Colbert/Andy North ( ).

COLLEGE TEAMMATES PAIR UP: A pair of former college teammates will pair up in the Legends Division at this year s Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Former Ohio State Buckeyes Joey Sindelar and John Cook will team up. Cook and Sindelar helped OSU to the 1979 NCAA crown. Also joining forces in the Raphael Division will be Bruce Lietzke and Bill Rogers, a pair of University of Houston products. They were members of the Cougar squad which finished second at the 1973 NCAA Championship. Another member of that team was Keith Fergus, who will play in the Legends Division with Greg Norman.

Jay Haas will team up with Ben Crenshaw. Haas original partner, Curtis Strange withdrew prior to the event. TEAM COMPETITION NOTHING NEW FOR PLAYERS: While official team events are rare on the Champions Tour, many of the competitors in this year s event are veterans of Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup team competition, as well as the Walt Disney World National Team Championship, which was staged in Orlando from as an official team event. Here is a list of former winners of that event: 1974: Hubert Green/Mac McLendon; 1975: Jim Colbert/Dean Refram; 1976: Bill Kratzert/Woody Blackburn; 1977: Gibby Gilbert/Grier Jones; 1978: Wayne Levi/Bob Mann; 1979: George Burns/Ben Crenshaw; 1980: Danny Edwards/David Edwards; 1981: Vance Heafner/Mike Holland. In fact, one of the teams in this year s Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf competition Lanny and Bobby Wadkins finished second at the 1978 Walt Disney World National Team Championship, finishing three strokes behind the team of Levi and Mann. BLACK KNIGHT IS BACK: Gary Player, one of only five players in golf history to win all four major championships on the PGA TOUR, is scheduled to appear in this event for the first time since The 73-year-old World Golf Hall of Fame member will team with Bob Charles in the Demaret Division this year.

5 Hill, winners of four Legends Division titles and one Raphael Division title, will be back again seeking a sixth title in this event. The pair scored wins in the Legends Division in 1991 and 1992 and again in 1995 and In addition their victory in the Raphael Division came in GEORGIA ON MY MIND: A number of players in this year s Legends Division at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf have ties to the state of Georgia. Larry Mize, who now resides in Columbus, lived on Wilmington Island from Larry Nelson and Tim Simpson, both from Atlanta, won Georgia Opens at the old Sheraton Savannah Golf & CC. Nelson claimed the 1978 event while Simpson won there in 1980, 1981, 1984 and Jim Dent hails from Augusta, Andy Bean from Lafayette and Jerry Pate was born in Macon. Allen Doyle lives in LaGrange.

Ford won 19 PGA TOUR events in his career, including the 1955 PGA Championship and 1957 Masters. SAVANNAH GOLF HISTORY: Many historians contend that golf in America started in Savannah with the establishment of the Savannah Golf Club in Evidence suggests the course was viewed by George and Martha Washington, John Adams and French general Lafayette. TOURNAMENT HOLES-IN-ONE: There have been eight holes-in-one in tournament history. Last year, David Edwards made the first hole-in-one since Chi Chi Rodriguez made an ace in the 1993 event at Barton Creek near Austin. Other players making a hole-in-one in this event: Tom Nieporte (1984), Dale Douglass (1986), Billy Casper (1989), Charlie Sifford (1989), Charles Coody (1990) and Tommy Jacobs (1991). MRs. 59: Tom Watson and Andy North shot 13-under 59 in the opening round of last year s Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Their score was the lowest posted by a team since Jim Colbert/Andy North shot 59 in the first round of the 2001 event. The best 18-hole team, better-ball score in event history came in the final round of the 1991 event when Al Geiberger/Harold Henning shot 14-under 58 at Barton Creek in Austin. NOT LOW ENOUGH: The team of Jeff Sluman/Craig Stadler posted a three-round score of 30-under 186 last year yet still came up one stroke short of Andy North/Tom Watson. Sluman/Stadler s total is the lowest recorded over three days that didn t win in the Legends Division since the team, better-ball competition was reduced from 72 to 54 holes beginning in The previous low 54-hole score by non-winners was in 1994 when both Jim Colbert/Bob Murphy and Jim Dent/Chi Chi Rodriguez shot 27-under-par 189 yet still finished one stroke back of Charles Coody/Dale Douglass.

6 START TO FINISH: Wire-to-wire winners have been rather common in the Legends Division team competition at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Last year s wire-towire victory by Tom Watson and Andy North made them the ninth duo in event history to lead throughout the event. North also went wire-to-wire with Jim Colbert in the Legends Division competition in both 2000 and Other teams to lead wire-towire include: Hubert Green/Gil Morgan (1999), John Bland/Graham Marsh (1997), Charles Coody/Dale Douglass (1994, 1990), Al Geiberger/Harold Henning (1989), Don January/Sam Snead (1982). In the 24 years the Legends Division has been a team, better-ball competition, leaders/co-leaders going into the final round have won 17 times including the last four occasions. CLOSING FAST: Gary Koch/Roger Maltbie shot 60 on the final day of the Raphael Division competition last year. The 12-under-par round enabled the duo to come from eight strokes back and win their second Raphael Division title. It was the largest comefrom-behind win in the history of that division and the 60 was the best finish by a winning team. Koch/Maltbie shot a final-round 68 in 2003, the highest-ever finish by winners of the Raphael Division. THE TRIFECTA: When they won the Demaret Division title in 2001, the team of Don January and Gene Littler became the first and, to date, only team to claim all three divisions of the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. January/Littler originally won the Legends Division in 1985/1986 and then won the Raphael Division competition in They also claimed a second Demaret Division crown in Charles Coody/Dale Douglass will have an opportunity to become the second team to win all three Legends titles when they tee it up for the second time in the Demaret Division competition. The duo won the Legends Division in 1990, 1994 and 1998 and claimed the Legendary (Raphael) Division competition in Last year, in their first venture into the Demaret Division, Coody/Douglass finished T2, fives srokes back of Al Geiberger/Jimmy Powell.
