Reigning champion Padraig Harrington heads the field for the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open, a PGA Tour Champions event to be contested June 23-25 at En-Joie Golf Course in Endicott.
Entry deadline for the tournament’s 16th edition was 5 p.m. Friday.
“Ernie Els, Bernhard Langer, Vijay Singh, Miguel Angel Jiménez, Darren Clarke, throw in a little John Daly and some past champs like Scott McCarron, Paul Goydos and of course our defending champion, Padraig Harrington − I think it’s a pretty darn good field,” said tournament director John Karedes, touching on some notable players who’ll be bound for Endicott.
Harrington bested Dick’s Open competitors last summer with rounds of 66-67-67, one of his four wins on the PGA Tour Champions. The Tour’s leader in driving distance has put together rounds of 73 and 69 to sit 2-over among the young guns in this week’s U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, hanging just at the cutline.
The 78-player field is to be rounded out by a quartet via Tuesday’s qualifier at The Links at Hiawatha Landing.
