Every sport has its definitive annual guide, the
book that those who are passionate about the sport use
for reference and information. For golf, The World of
Professional Golf, sponsored by Rolex, is the bible, the
volume that everyone with an interest in what happened
on every Tour golf course around the world each year
wants to have on their bookshelf. And for the first
time, the 2013 edition of this major reference work is
available to buy, giving readers the chance not only to
read up on every pro event but to access all the hard
statistics. The first section concentrates on rankings,
prize money and Tour winners. This is followed by
reports on 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. The book concludes
with extensive scoring summaries of every pro tournament
played in the world in 2012, providing enough
information to satisfy even the most ardent
statistician's hunger for figures. 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, whose brainchild this
book was, plus approximately 90 photographs of the year
in action. If it happened in professional golf in 2012,
you will find everything you need to know in The World
of Professional Golf 2013. IMG is the world's largest
sports marketing agency. It was founded in the early
1960s by the late American Mark H. McCormack who, in
1999, 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 have
been highly visible sponsors of golf for more than four
decades.
