This Day in Golf History: August 24

Jack Nicklaus was the first winner of the Tournament Players Championship in 1974, but on this date in 1975, Al Geiberger came out on top at Colonial C.C. in Memphis. Geiberger led from start to finish to win the second playing by three strokes ahead of runner-up Dave Stockton. Twice on this date, Arnold Palmer scored low rounds with partners at the Shootout at the Jeremy Ranch. In 1984 he had a second-round 12-under 60 with Raymond Floyd (they eventually finished T-7); in 1985, he shot a third-round 65 with partner Gary Player at Jeremy Ranch and they eventually placed T-13.
