Aloha from Turner Sports

Welcome to Poipu Bay Golf Course and the Hyatt Regency Kauai Resort & Spa in Hawaii for the 2003 PGA Grand Slam of Golf on TNT. I'm looking forward to watching everything unfold as four first-time major championship winners participate in this year's Grand Slam.

This marks the 13th consecutive year that Turner Sports will present the Grand Slam and the fifth year TNT will air the event. As we have witnessed this year, the storylines in golf are forever changing, and I'm very proud to be associated and working with such a terrific organization as The PGA of America.

This year, the network features live coverage on Friday, Dec. 5, and Saturday, Dec. 6, from 3:30 to 7 p.m. ET and 4 to 7 p.m. ET. TNT will present viewers with a championship quality telecast showcasing our talents and experience. With the professionalism and creativity of our network, our coverage is sure to be on par with the lofty standards we have set for ourselves.

As Mike Weir (Masters), Jim Furyk (U.S. Open), Ben Curtis (British Open) and Shaun Micheel (PGA Championship) compete to be the champion of champions, I'm positive the 2003 PGA Grand Slam of Golf will provide viewers with the drama they can only find on TNT.

I hope you enjoy this exciting event, the resort, and all that Hawaii has to offer. Have a great few days.

Aloha,

David Levy, President

Left alone to flourish (12/1/03) — When Mike Weir was a promising junior in his native Canada, he wrote a letter to the great Jack Nicklaus asking if a young left-hander should try to learn the game right-handed. The Golden Bear wrote back, and the advice he offered made Weir a Masters champion.
