Which golfer knocked Tiger Woods off the top spot of the World Golf Ranking after a win at the Deutsche Bank Championship?

The first professional round of the 2008 Deutsche Bank Championship begins today as the field heads toward the only official Monday finish on the PGA Tour on Labor Day. This event began just five years ago back in 2003 and Adam Scott of Australia won the first time out. But, it was the next year when Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh battled it out for, not just the championship, but also for the top spot on the World Golf Ranking and, at the end of the final round, Vijay’s final score of 69 earned him both and ended Tiger Woods’ five-year reign as the top golfer in the world.

So, if you answered B - then you were right and you’ve added one more entry into our computer for our daily drawings where you can win great golf prizes and today we’re giving away a PING Karsten Series Craz-E putter- another gold medal winner on this year’s Golf Digest Hot List.

The first movie we know of that was based on golf was the 1953 film, “Follow the Sun” starring Glenn Ford, which told the story of Ben Hogan’s amazing comeback from his near-fatal car crash. Sam Snead, Jimmy Demaret and Cary Middlecoff were all featured in that film and other golfers have been seen on the silver screen since then including Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson and Sam Snead in the Jerry Lewis/Dean Martin comedy The Caddy, Arnold Palmer playing golf against Bob Hope in Call Me Bwana and Lee Trevino, of course, in Happy Gilmore.

Who was the number one golfer on the very first official World Golf Ranking list?

The Official World Golf Rankings began in 1986 under the name the Sony World Ranking, and the first list was introduced just prior to The Masters tournament that year. The ranking is endorsed by the six professional tours that make up the International Federation of PGA Tours, and by all four major championships, and the list is released each Monday. Even though he hasn’t played since the U.S. Open in June, Tiger Woods is still the #1 player on the list and holds the record for most weeks at the top with a total of 510 weeks since his first #1 appearance on June 15^th, 1997. But, on the very first list released in 1986, it was Germany’s Bernhard Langer - who will celebrate his 51^st birthday tomorrow - who was on top of the world ranking.

The BMW Championship, which takes place next weekend at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, was, of course, known as the Western Open up until just a year ago, and for a little over a century before that. First held in 1899, up until its last year as the Western Open it was one of the oldest active PGA Tour events and Hagen, Nelson, Hogan, Snead, Nicklaus, Palmer and Woods are just a few of the familiar names that were winners over the 103 times it was held. Plus, although it was never officially designated as one, it was considered one of golf’s majors for decades.

Which college won the very first intercollegiate golf tournament?

The Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States was created in 1906 but then changed its name to the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1910. By the time that name change took effect, however, there had already been an intercollegiate golf tournament for a little over a decade that was conducted by the USGA and the NCAA finally took over the tournament until 1939. As it turns out, the college with the most team championships in the history of the Intercollegiate Golf Tournament is also the team that won at the very first tournament in 1897 – and that was Yale.

Which golfer knocked himself out with his own ball after it ricocheted off a stone wall?

Gary Player was playing in a minor tournament on his very first visit to England in 1955 and was in a position to win as he approached the 18^th hole. But, he hooked his tee shot and the ball ended up next to a stone wall on the course. Thinking he needed a 4 to win, he decided to try and bounce the ball off the wall so that it would ricochet back onto the green. So, he lined up his shot and hit it hard BUT, instead of hitting the green, it hit Player right on the chin and knocked him out. He recovered a short time later and pitched the ball onto the green and then putted for a 4. But, the thrill of his victory was short-lived once he found out that he had incurred a two-stroke penalty by hitting himself with the ball and, to make it worse, he also found out that he could have won the tournament with a five on the hole.

So, if you answered C – then you were right, which means that you now have one more entry into our computer for our daily drawings and our Big Prize Wednesday prize this week is a PING G10 driver found on Golf Digest’s 2008 Hot List! Okay, computer, show me today’s winner:

Which of these golfers did NOT win the U.S. Amateur Championship?

The USGA was formed in 1894 and the very next year created one official amateur championship for the country to avoid a controversy that happened the year before when two separate golf clubs held tournaments and both claimed that theirs was the national champion. So, the first USGA U.S. Amateur Championship took place in 1895 at Newport Country Club and since then, many of the biggest names in the sport have been champions including Bobby Jones, who holds the record for most wins, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Out of our list of answer choices, however, the one who never won the tournament was Tom Kite, who was runner-up behind Lanny Wadkins in 1970.

So, if you answered D - then you were right and you now have one more entry into our daily drawings and, to go along with the new episode of Highway 18 tonight, we’re giving away a Golf Channel prize package. Okay, computer – show me today’s winner:
