Greg Norman explains his passion and commitment to find a cure for this terrible disease: "Cancer is perhaps the most significant health concern of our time. Ask anyone and the odds are astoundingly high that they or someone they know has been affected by cancer. This evidence reveals an urgent and growing global need to address the situation as loudly as we can and do whatever is humanly possible to find a cure. Research is one of the most effective tools we have at our disposal. I have witnessed the scope and breadth of its influence through patient treatment, training programs for future generations of clinicians and scientists and the development of innovative therapies that can improve not only the odds of survival but also quality of life."

An impressive collection of PGA Tour players arrived in Naples for the 16th annual Franklin Templeton Shootout. The 24 players in the field have 158 total PGA Tour victories, including 17 major championships. Here are some more interesting facts about the careers of this eclectic group. For example: Ten players in the field are ranked among the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings -- Chad Campbell (13th), Kenny Perry (15th), Jay Haas (23rd), Rory Sabbatini (31), Justin Leonard (33), Steve Flesch (36), Chris Riley (41), John Daly (43), Fred Funk (48).

Organizers of the Cadbury Schweppes Australian PGA Championship sent journalists running for their history books when they announced the field for this year's event. Adam Scott, defending champion, Peter Senior, Craig Parry, Michael Campbell and the prospect of old foes, Greg Norman, Corey Pavin and Stephen Leaney meeting again, whet the appetites of golfing historians. Norman won the 1984 Australian PGA Championship by a whopping eight shots and earned $27,000 for the victory. In that event, two decades ago, Norman closed with a 69 and lapped the field at Monash Country Club in Sydney. In a marvelous moment on the final green, Norman scooped up his blue-eyed two-year-old daughter, Morgan-Leigh and carried her off in his arms to the clubhouse where he signed his card.
