PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Olympic gold and silver medalists Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson were among the first to sign up for the PGA Tours first team event since 1981.The Zurich Classic outside New Orleans will feature 80 two-man teams, and both players will receive credit for an official victory, the tour said Monday.Rose outlasted Stenson in the final round at Rio to capture the gold medal. They also have gone 4-2 as partners in the last two Ryder Cups.The addition of a team format adds a new, incredibly exciting element to the event, said Rose, who has a sponsorship deal with Zurich. Henrik and I are very excited to tee it up together in April, and hopefully we can continue our longstanding chemistry and success in team formats.Jason Day, the worlds No. 1 player, and Rickie Fowler also announced plans to compete as a team.The Zurich Classic is April 27-30 at the TPC Louisiana. It will feature two rounds of foursomes (Thursday and Saturday) and two rounds of fourballs. Tour officials felt it was important to have foursomes (alternate shot) as part of the format so that both players contributed.The winning team will each get credit for an official PGA Tour victory and be exempt into the Tournament of Champions and the PGA Championship, just like a regular PGA Tour event. It does not include an exemption to the Masters, which is held three weeks before the Zurich Classic.Prize money and FedEx Cup points will be distributed based on sharing points for two positions. Using last years prize money, first place ($1,260,000) and second place ($756,000) would be combined and then split, awarding each player $1,008,000. The runner-ups would split third- and fourth-place money. For the FedEx Cup, because first place is worth 500 points and second place is worth 300 points, each winner would get 400 points.The last official team event was the Walt Disney World Team Championship in 1981.Players can pick their own partners, provided they have PGA Tour status or receive a sponsors exemption.That creates a field of 160 players, with a cut after the second round to the top 35 ties. In case of a tie, a playoff would be determined using fourballs.The tour hopes to create more interest and to complement the team format used in the Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup and World Cup. The PGA Tour now has stroke play, match play, modified Stableford scoring (Barracuda Championship) and now a team format. Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys .

At 42, Randi Evans had never had a mammogram. But as a volunteer for a nonprofit that helps women obtain the breast X-ray, the Sherman, Texas, resident felt she needed to be a true advocate for the group.While volunteering with Women Rock at Texas Motorplex in Dallas earlier this month, she received her first mammogram, thanks to a program created by NHRA Funny Car driver Alexis DeJoria. Started three years ago, Free Mammograms for the Fans provides mammograms at no cost to women attending an NHRA event in October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month.It was an amazing experience, said Evans, a librarian media specialist. I am glad Ive had a mammogram now because it opens up your mind and makes you realize how important early detection is. If I hadnt gone to the races to volunteer, I probably still wouldnt have had a mammogram.Now in its fourth year, the program initially was offered only at the Las Vegas NHRA event. Dallas was added last year, which means women attending those NHRA events on a Friday or Saturday in October can obtain a free mammogram. In the programs first three years, 335 mammograms were provided. During the Oct. 13-16 NHRA event at Dallas, another 55 were added to that total. The programs goal of 100 annually is expected to be reached this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedways The Strip.Every October, we do some sort of pink theme for our car, our crew shirts and our starting line shirts, but we wanted to do something more proactive, DeJoria said of the programs creation.Today, the Baylor Health Care System provides the mammovan in Dallas, and Nevada Health Centers supplies the one used in Las Vegas. It doesnt cost anything to get the mobile units to the dragway, but DeJorias program must cover the expense of each mammogram. She said thats about $276 per person in Dallas and approximately $300 each in Las Vegas.DeJorias fundraising efforts for the program are yearlong. Last year, she had a pretty bad explosion during a run at Seattle, so her team auctioned bits and pieces of the car. Toyota Racing, her teams manufacturer, Patron Spirits Co. and Kalitta Motorsports also make donations.Sherry Fox, mobile account executive for Baylors breast imaging, said she wasnt sure what to expect as far as turnout for the inaugural year at the Dallas NHRA event but was pleased with the results.This is an unusual circumstance, being at the races, Fox said. We have to have a minimum of 20 patients scheduled for a full day and 10 patients for a half-day. I think 26 [women on Friday] and 29 [on Saturday] that didnt even have an appointment is fantastic. I was surprised at the number of repeats that we had. We went to lunch one day, came back, and there were four or fivee women sitting there.dddddddddddd Everyone is so gracious and appreciative.DeJoria said she was a little concerned in the programs inaugural year about how women would react to getting a mammogram while attending an event with a male companion or relative.Its a very masculine-fueled event, and we were concerned that either they would be too embarrassed to do it or too fearful, DeJoria said. Luckily, that was not the case. We had a great outpouring of support from the teams.That first year at Las Vegas, the mammogram van was parked at the end of DeJorias pit. She spent her time between runs welcoming women, trying to make them feel comfortable, holding their hands and letting them know they werent alone. Her father, John Paul DeJoria, attended the event and spent his time meeting the women.DeJorias father owns John Paul Mitchell Systems (known for its Paul Mitchell hair care products), Patron Tequila and John Paul Pet Products. He attended this years Dallas event and plans to be at Las Vegas as well.A lot of women are hair dressers, so they recognize him, and thats a comforting feeling, DeJoria said.DeJoria believes the participation by the women connected to the sport has helped the fans feel more comfortable about getting a mammogram at the mobile units.When they see women from different teams going in there, like the wives of crew chiefs or the moms of drivers with their team shirts on, its like everybody is in this together, DeJoria said. I think the outpouring of support helps the women feel more comfortable in that moment. I have a few letters from women that have come from different states that found out that we were doing this, and they came to the races just to get the mammogram. It just shows its not a fly-by-night idea. Its really working.DeJoria said sometimes the programs success can be a bit emotionally overwhelming.In Dallas, I was signing autographs in between rounds on Sunday, and a woman and her husband came up to me, DeJoria said. She said, I dont want an autograph. I just want to meet you. She grabbed my hands, looked me in the eyes and said, Im a cancer survivor today, and thats because of you. I said, Wow! I wanted to cry. I was trying to keep my composure. Her husband was almost in tears.It was such a special moment. Its things like that that makes the world a better place. I love what I get to do, but also because of what I get to do, I can do things like this.Deb Williams is a North Carolina-based writer and former editor.
