Jeld-Wen Tradition releases list of players
The Champions Tour's three major winners have all committed to competing in the JELD-WEN Tradition, played at Crosswater Golf Club at Sunriver Resort, Aug. 13–19, 2007, announced the tournament director today. Denis Watson (Senior PGA Champion), Brad Bryant (US Senior Open Champion and currently number two on the Money List), and Tom Watson (Senior British Open Champion) will join the tournament's field of 79.
The list of committed players includes 29 of the current top-30 on the Champions Tour Money List including money leader Jay Haas and former JELD-WEN Tradition champions Tom Watson (2003), Craig Stadler (2004), Loren Roberts (2005) and Eduardo Romero (2006).
"It has been a highly competitive season and with a stellar roster of players committing to the JELD-WEN Tradition, fans can expect to see amazing golf from their favorite players," said Mike Lee, JELD-WEN Tradition tournament director.
Champions Tour newcomers Fred Funk and Mark O'Meara are both expected to make their JELD-WEN Tradition debut this year in addition to Scott Hoch, who has never played in the tournament.
"This will be the first chance many people have had to see these players in person," said Lee. "All three players have had first or second place finishes this year, including O'Meara's second place finish in last week's Senior Open Championship. They should all be major contenders at the JELD-WEN Tradition this year."
Oregon's own Peter Jacobsen and Bob Gilder have also committed to play. For a full list of committed players, visit www.jeld-wentradition.com/tournament_field.
"It is very gratifying to see top players continue to support the event in its first year at its new home," said Gina Monterossi, sports marketing manager for JELD-WEN.
