CALGARY—Davis Love III is the sixth World Golf Hall of Fame member to add his name to the tee sheet for the seventh installment of the Shaw Charity Classic, August 28 – September 1, 2019.

The major winner, who continues to play against the youngsters on the PGA TOUR despite turning 50 five years ago, was a huge draw for local golf fans in his first visit to Calgary last year when he finished T13 at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club.

He will be back to take another shot against his pals on the PGA TOUR Champions in hopes of being fited for a white cowboy hat that is awarded to the Shaw Charity Classic champion each year.

“I had a great time up in Calgary last summer. Canadians are so passionate about the game, are so friendly and hospitable. They love golf and their sports. Even when I’m up here snowboarding they want to talk about golf so I love playing in Canada,” said Love III.

After winning in his first appearance on the PGA TOUR in 1987, Love III went on to rack up 21 wins on the PGATOUR. His last triumph came in 2015 at the Wyndham Championship in Mamaroneck, New York, making him the third-oldest golfer ever to win a PGA TOUR event.
