Profiles the Western Open, highlighting past venues and champions of the event. States that "the 1997 Motorola Western Open was the site of Tiger Woods being catapulted onto the celebrity A-List when hundreds in the gallery broke through the ropes to escort him to the eighteenth green at Cog Hill to capture the championship." |
