When Raymond Floyd won the Doral Open in Miami on March 8, 1992, it set up a first on the PGA Tour. After he turned 50 in early September later that year, he won the senior tour's GTE North Classic, becoming the first player to win on both tours in the same year.

Arnold Palmer supported the off-the-beaten-path Pensacola Open quite well on the PGA Tour. His first win there was in 1960. On March 7, 1963, he began that year’s Pensacola with a first-round 69. After subsequent rounds of 68-69-67—273 he had won it again, taking top money of just $3,500. He also won the Los Angeles Open, Phoenix Open, Thunderbird Classic, Cleveland Open, Western Open and Whitemarsh Open in ’63.

On March 6, 1457, "golfe" hadn't lost its "e" yet and was trying to earn some love.
