Seven Bulldogs Begin FedExCup Playoffs

• The FedExCup Playoffs begin Thursday with THE NORTHERN TRUST. The Bulldogs in the playoffs include Kevin Kisner, Russell Henley, Bubba Watson, Harris English, Hudson Swafford, Brian Harman and Chris Kirk.

• Scott Parel will be in action in the Champions Tour's Boeing Classic in Washington.

• The Web.com Tour stop this week is the WinCo Foods Portland Open, featuring Erik Compton, Sepp Straka and Keith Mitchell.

• Georgia football letterman Billy Payne retired Wednesday as chairman of Augusta National and the Masters Tournament. Payne, 69, took on the role in 2006 and presided over 11 Masters. Said Payne, "The privilege I experienced serving as Chairman of Augusta National and the Masters was far greater than I could have ever imagined. Just as nothing can prepare you for the unique responsibilities and important decisions that come with this position, it is equally impossible to anticipate the many joys and, most importantly, the wonderful friendships that are the ultimate reward of service."

• Important upcoming dates: The Lettermen Tournament will be held Sept. 22, followed by the
Bulldog Open on Oct. 13. Mail-outs are on the way, but for more information, contact Denise at dsaliba@sports.uga.edu.

• The Bulldogs will open the 2017-18 season Sept. 1-3 in The Carmel Cup in California.
