Breakfast with a Champion
PRESENTED BY:
The Breakfast with a Champion, presented by The Allergan Foundation, has become a nostalgic staple of the Toshiba Classic tournament week. The 2012 keynote will be World Golf Half of Fame member Hale Irwin, the tournament's only two-time champion and the most winning player on the Champions Tour.
"Fostering the growth of Orange County's community is something The Allergan Foundation is quite proud to be associated with, and we value the relationships we've built with Hoag Hospital Foundation and Toshiba to make this breakfast happen," said Jim Hindman, president of The Allergan Foundation. "Not only is it a remarkable event to learn about golf's great athletes, but also an opportunity to give back to the area of which we're so fortunate to be a part."
In addition to the special guest, the Breakfast serves as the annual platform to announce the Toshiba Classic Scholarship Fund winners. Two deserving Orange County high school seniors will be awarded $10,000 scholarships and laptops courtesy of Toshiba America Information Systems. Through the Toshiba Classic Scholarship Fund, grants totaling more than $249,000 in scholarships and over $500,000 in laptops have been given to graduating seniors.

Irwin, 66, was one of the world's leading PGA Tour players in the 1970s and 80s, one of only a handful of players to win three U.S. Opens (1974, 1979 and 1990). Following a PGA TOUR career in which he won 20 events and participated on five Ryder Cup teams, Irwin joined the Champions Tour in 1995 and saw even greater success in the second phase of his life. Irwin has amassed 45 wins on the Tour, including the 1998 and 2000 U.S. Senior Opens, three PGA Seniors' Championships, and the 1998 and 2002 Toshiba Classic. He is also the all-time leading money winner on the Champions Tour. Nearly a quarter century after finding a spot in professional golf, Irwin was inducted into the 2002 class of the World Golf Hall of Fame. |
