Palmer, Grandson Set for Father/Son Challenge
September 01, 2005
Arnold Palmer and his grandson, Sam Saunders, will team up for the third time in this year's Father/Son Challenge tournament the week of November 28 at ChampionsGate Golf Resort near Orlando, Florida. Saunders, a high school senior, is a scratch amateur, who was medalist in this year's U.S. Junior Amateur at Longmeadow Country Club in Massachusetts.
In the popular Father/Son Challenge, now in its 11th season, many of the game's greatest players join with their sons for two rounds of scramble competition on December 3 and 4 following pro-amateur events the two preceding days. The pros will be playing for a $1 million purse and the Willie Park Trophy on ChampionsGate's International course. Larry Nelson and his son, Drew, are the defending champions in the tournament, which will again be televised by NBC Sports.
