Golf Books #206 (The World of Professional Golf 2016)

Every sport has its definitive annual guide, the book that those who are passionate about the sport must own. For golf, this is it, the bible that gives fans access to every pro event plus the hard statistics—the rankings, prize money, and all Tour winners.

This special 50th anniversary edition covers the four men’s and women’s Majors, the men’s Tour events across five continents, the Women’s Tours, the Senior Tours, and the money lists—and finally concludes with extensive scoring summaries of every pro tournament played in 2015.

This magnificent volume contains an introduction by the legendary Arnold Palmer, a foreword by the first great golf agent and founder of IMG, Mark H. McCormack, plus approximately 90 photographs of the year in action. If it happened in professional golf in 2015, you’ll find it here.

About the Author

IMG is the world’s largest sports marketing agency. The late Mark H. McCormack founded IMG in the early 1960s; one of his first clients was Arnold Palmer. Such was his and the IMG’s influence that, in 1999, McCormack was described as “The Most Powerful Man in Sports” by Sports Illustrated magazine. A self-confessed golf fanatic, this annual book was his brainchild. Rolex has been a highly visible sponsor of golf for five decades.
