Corey Pavin focuses most of his attention on the Champions Tour these days, but will make a token appearance on the PGA TOUR for the Northern Trust Open.
Pavin picked up a spot via sponsor exemption, and with good reason. This will be his 29th start at Riviera CC, making 22 cuts over the years with back-to-back wins in 1994 and 1995. It's hard to imagine he will be a factor given his lack of length. He also hasn't cracked a top 10 here since his last victory 18 years ago. Feb 12 - 9:20 PM

Playing mainly on the Champions Tour, Corey Pavin will make his second start of the season on the main stage at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Pavin is in by virtue of his 1994 title at Colonial. In his only other PGA TOUR start of the year, he finished T38 way back at the Sony Open. He missed the cut at the 2011 edition of the Crowne Plaza Invitiational.

Corey Pavin posted a final round of 4-under-par 66 and finished in a tie for second place after a playoff with Bubba Watson and Scott Verplank at the Travelers Championship.

The Ryder Cup captain opened the front nine in 2-under-par, which was three-strokes off the lead. On the back nine, a birdie at the 12th hole moved him 2-strokes off the pace and a clutch 31-foot birdie-bomb at the 17th hole moved him to a tie with Scott Verplank, one-stroke off the lead. A three-way playoff soon took place after the leader, Bubba Watson, finished with a double-bogey-birdie finish. Pavin was eliminated on the first playoff hole, when he took a 3-wood off the tee and then found the greenside bunker with his approach. His recovery shot out of the bunker left a short putt, but both Watson and Verplank made birdies on the hole, which eliminated Pavin. Still, the P-2 finish for the 50-year-old Pavin is his best result on the PGA Tour since his victory at the 2006 U.S. Bank Championship.

Corey Pavin is 9-under-par 65-66=131 through two rounds of the Travelers Championship.

Horses for courses. The 50-year-old has missed just one fairway this week. He's hit 26 greens and cleaned up well, with a tidy 53 putts. And he has just one bogey (nothing worse). The longest of his four birdie putts today was 13'11" at the par-4 17th hole. The Ryder Cup captain signed his card today five strokes adrift of the clubhouse lead.

Corey Pavin shot 3-under-par 70-71=141 in the U.S. Open sectional qualifier at Bull Valley GC in Woodstock, Illinois today, two strokes too high to earn one of the two bids available at the site.

The 1995 U.S. Open champion hasn't qualified for this major since 2006. Bennett Blakeman was the medalist today, finishing at 6-under 67-71=138. Former PGA TOUR member, Jerry Smith (139), earned the other spot.

In his press conference at the Northern Trust Open this afternoon, Corey Pavin announced that his assistant captains for the 2010 Ryder Cup are Tom Lehman, Jeff Sluman, Davis Love III and Paul Goydos.

Pavin, Lehman and DL3 were teammates on the victorious U.S. squads at the President's Cup in 1994 and 1996. Lehman was the Ryder Cup captain of the U.S. squad when it lost at the K Club in 2006. Sluman is a three-time assistant captain for Jack Nicklaus at the President's Cup (2003, 2005, 2007). Love will be in his first-ever leadership role as a non-player, and he is the most likely of the four chosen by Pavin to qualify for the playing roster. Goydos will be making his first appearance in any capacity for a team competition as a pro.

Doug Ferguson of the Associated Press is reporting that Corey Pavin and Brad Faxon, 48th and 37th among career money leaders, respectively, will burn their one-time lifetime earnings exemptions in 2010.

Pavin turned 50 on November 16 and announced on his Twitter page on November 9 that he had played in his final event as a member of the PGA Tour at the Children's Miracle Network Classic. Even with today's news, as the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, he's unlikely to make an impact in the fantasy world. Meanwhile, Faxon is 48 and made 23 starts in 2009 using his one-time career earnings exemption for sitting inside the top-25. A pair of lower leg surgeries in the final months of 2007 have all but rendered Faxon useless in all non-duffer leagues.

Corey Pavin is 4-under-par 69-71=144 through 36 holes of the Children's Miracle Network Classic.

Pavin is predictably dissecting Disney's host courses this week, with 21 (of 28) fairways hit and 29 GIR thus far. The 2010 U.S. Ryder Cup captain will turn 50 on Monday and has already announced that this is his final start as a full-time member of the PGA Tour. The plan may be to jump to the Champions Tour, but at 145th in earnings on the PGA Tour, a high finish this week could bring the under-50 circuit back into the equation.

Corey Pavin was added on Monday morning to the field of the 50th Bob Hope Classic.

This will be Pavin's 23rd start at the Bob Hope and he won the event in 1991 and 1987. He did play in last week's Sony Open, but missed the cut with a 5-over-par score.

In New York City this morning, Corey Pavin was formally announced as the new United States Ryder Cup captain for the biennial event in 2010 at Celtic Manor in Wales.

While speculation has lingered since Paul Azinger confirmed that he was not returning (and even before that), and while it was leaked on Wednesday, stranger things have happened, so we wanted to wait until it was official. The only fantasy impact will affect Pavin's Champions Tour value in 2010, when his playing schedule will likely ebb a few months before the event. In the meantime, expect him to make 20-23 starts in 2009, and have his usual success on the shorter, classic tracks on tour.

Corey Pavin will play this week at the Wyndham Championship.

Pavin was playing very well at the start of the summer, and even though he has been making cuts, three of his last four starts haven't been higher than a 63rd finish. He has played in five Wyndham Championships, with a T-16 in 1996 being his best result.

Corey Pavin shot an even-par 73-67=140 and will play the weekend at the AT&T National.

Pavin has been solid lately, finishing T-15 or better in three of his last four starts. His mojo was on display at the par-3 10th hole at Congressional today, where he smoothed a hybrid for an ace. Pavin has taken a field-low 50 putts through 36 holes but that's primarily due to a dismal 15 GIR.

Corey Pavin followed an opening 64 with a 2-over-par 74 in the second round of the Buick Open.

Pavin took an uncharacteristically high 34 putts on Friday, 13 more than his opening round total. The 18-hole co-leader will begin the third round eight strokes behind Bo Van Pelt's 36-hole lead.

Corey Pavin crafted a bogey-free, 8-under-par 64 in the opening round of the Buick Open.

Pavin shot a pair of 32s today, draining four birdies on each side and taking a filthy low 21 putts. The 64 is his best score in 27 career rounds at Warwick Hills. Pavin also closed out the Travelers last week with a 64.

Corey Pavin will play this week in the AT&T Classic.

Pavin was the first alternate last week at THE PLAYERS and never got into the field, which was a shame because he tends to play well when the conditions were as tough as last week. So far he has three Top-15 finishes on the Tour this season and is 83rd on the FedExCup Points List. He has finished in the Top-10 twice in 15 times at the AT&T Classic, including a championship in 1991.
