More coverage coming. Including a revamped layout and what’s to come.

Congrats Freddie!

The Champions Tour has had plenty of good players come along during the past 10 years, but the tour has lacked a popular personality to attract spectators.

That will change late in 2009, when Fred Couples joins the 50-and-older set. With his power, laid-back personality, good looks and a 54-hole format (which will help his ailing back), Fred is destined to become the biggest senior draw since Arnold Palmer.

Thanks to Fred fans Scotter and Tear Drop for the article.

Also, the Champions Tour president, Rick George, is looking forward to 2009 as well.

Q: The list of guys you have coming up in the next few years includes names like Tom Lehman, Kenny Perry and Fred Couples. Who’s the one guy you’re most excited about seeing out here?
A: Well, all of them, really, but the one that I think is going to have a significant impact on the tour would be Fred Couples. He’s just a fan favorite for a lot of people, and we think when he comes out, he’ll have a big impact on the continued growth of this tour.
