Champions Tour Golf

Ernie Els watches his shot off the third tee during the final round of the Champions Tour Principal Charity Classic on June 2, 2024, in Des Moines, Iowa.

Run your finger down the list of those scheduled to play in this week’s Cologuard Classic at Tucson’s La Paloma Golf Club, and you won’t file a missing golfers report.

All the big names will be here. All of them. Bernhard Langer, Ernie Els, Miguel Angel-Jimenez, David Toms, John Daly and the most accomplished player in Tucson prep golf history, Willie Wood of Sabino High School.

Former UA NCAA champions Harry Rudolph and David Berganio Jr. failed to make the field after a qualifying tournament last week at Oro Valley Country Club.
