- Henry is a 10-year veteran on the PGA Tour where he captured his first Tour victory at the 2006 Buick Championships in Connecticut, making him the first state-born player to capture the event title. Henry was a member of the 2006 U.S. Ryder Cup Team and 2006 World Cup Team. Henry teamed with Stewart Cink as part of the World Cup Team where they competed at the Barbados World Cup
- Henry recorded a banner campaign where he finished 29th overall on the PGA Tour Money List during the 2006 season and has recorded back-to-back $1-million seasons in 2006 and 2007
- Massengale finished second overall at the 1967 PGA Championships, suffering an 18-hole playoff setback to Don January for the title. Massengale captured two tournament titles during the 1966 season at the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am and The Canadian Open en route to finishing 27th overall on the PGA Tour Money List that season
- Massengale competed in 16 Majors and played full-time on The Champions Tour from 1987-96 where he collected a pair of victories at the 1990 Grand Rapids Open and 1992 Royal Caribbean Classic.
- Jordan spent 14 seasons on the PGA Tour where he competed in over 300 events. Jordan finished second overall at the British Columbia Open in 2000 and notched a third-place showing at the 2001 John Deere Classic.
