History

Golfing greats such as Raymond Floyd, Lee Trevino, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Dave Stockton, and Hale Irwin introduced the game of golf to their sons as they brought them up, and as a result have produced players who are following in their footsteps and are beginning to garner notoriety in their own right.

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. ( More )
