The Del Webb Father Son Challenge returns to ChampoinsGate, Florida December 4th – 7th.
The Del Webb Father/Son Challenge provides a forum to determine the best father/son team in golf and offers golf's famous stars the opportunity to strengthen family bonds. Craig and Kevin Stadler won their first title in 2002 with a one-hole sudden death victory over Hale and Steve Irwin. Raymond Floyd won the event five times, with Raymond Jr. in 1995, 1996, & 1997 & with Robert in 2000 & 2001. Jack and Gary Nicklaus won in 1999 after a three-hole sudden death playoff with the Floyd’s
"It was something very special," Floyd said. "The tournament is a great concept. It is so fabulous to play alongside your son. I have played in tournaments and had both of my sons caddy for me. To play with Raymond and Robert in this event makes it very, very special. "Special to win, especially special to win with your son," Jack Nicklaus said.
"This could be the greatest tournament to come down the pike in a long, long time," said Lee Trevino, who has played with his sons, Tony Lee and Rick in alternating years. "I think a lot of people were curious about how well our sons could play. This gave our sons a chance to see what kind of pressure their fathers have been facing for 20 years and more, "Trevino said. I was very proud of the way my sons handled the pressure."
The tournament is also great from a fan perspective – in past years, the challenge has lived up to its billing as the greatest collection of golfers in one location – where else can you see Vijay Singh, Raymond Floyd, Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman, David Love and Jack Nicklaus play at the same time? The 2008 field looks to be the strongest ever.
