Trevor Immelman back at ChampionsGate

DLGA is happy to announce that 2008 Masters Champion Trevor Immelman and world renowned coach David Leadbetter are once again back together again as player and coach.

While Y.E. Yang and Tiger Woods battled at the PGA Championship over the weekend, Trevor - who is recovering from a wrist injury - was here at ChampionsGate working with David.

Immelman, who originally began working with Leadbetter in 2005, enjoyed a steady series of successes under Leadbetter's tutelage over a four year period including wins at the 2006 Western Open, 2007 Ned Bank Million Dollar Challenge, and the 2008 Masters.

Immelman who has played sparingly over the 2009 season as a result of wrist injury is rejuvenated as he rehabs both his wrist and his game back into top shape.

David is confident and maintains Trevor's best is still ahead of him.
