Julius Winfield Erving Il, known by the nickname &ldquo;Dr. J&rdquo;, helped launch a modern style of basketball that emphasized athletic play above the rim. Erving helped legitimize the now defunct (ABA). As some players are considered to be &ldquo;the team&rdquo;, Dr. J was considered to be &ldquo;the league&rdquo;. He was the undisputed face of the ABA and their new brand of basketball, when the ABA-NBA merger occurred after the 1976 season.
Erving won three championships, four Most Valuable Player Awards, and three scoring titles while playing with the ABA&rsquo;s Virginia Squires and New York Nets and the NBA&rsquo;s Philadelphia 76ers. He is currently ranked in the top 5 in scoring, with 30,026 points (NBA and ABA combined). Julius is most well-known for his artistry above the rim concluding with his patented slam dunk. Generations later, players are still trying to imitate that iconic dunk from the free throw line, which he executed on his way to winning the ABA&rsquo;s Slam Dunk Contest in 1976.
Erving was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993 and was named as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996. Erving is known as a dignified and gracious individual who truly understands what it means to be an ambassador to the game of basketball. While a player, he understood the responsibility of being seen as the &ldquo;Doctor&rdquo; and didn&rsquo;t disappoint game in and game out. Today, he remains one of the most cherished players around the game and is respected by players and coaches both past and present.

The 2021 APGA Player of the year, making back to back cuts at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and John Deere Classic earlier this year, Willie heads to PGA TOUR Qualifying School to earn his full playing card.&nbsp;
Willie Mack III was born and raised in Flint, Michigan. At the age of 6, Willie was introduced to the game of golf by his father, who saw the game and fell in love. The father and son golf-duo began playing golf at the same time, learning, practicing and playing together; they also found a common passion in watching Tiger Woods play as Willie developed his game.
Willie&rsquo;s father would drop Willie off at a local municipal course each summer, leaving him to play, practice and further his calling. Each day Willie would pick up a game with various groups or individuals that he had met at the course, building golf friendships at a young age.
When the summer months went away, the cold Flint winter months would take over. After school, Willie would keep his game sharp by being ready when his father came home from work, they would go to the local golf dome together. On the way to the dome each night, Willie and his father would stop at McDonalds and get large fries, their winter evening practice sessions became a routine. Willie would come back from practice and do his homework before going to bed.
In 2006, during Willie&rsquo;s Senior Year at Grand Blanc High School, he won the AJGA Buick Junior Open presented by Golfweek, coincidentally that same year, Tiger Woods had his 50th win at the Buick Open at Warwick Hills Golf &amp; Country Club, less than 3 miles apart. Willie went on to earn a golf scholarship to play at Bethune-Cookman, an HBCU, that same year. Willie would go on to win 11 collegiate events, and in 2011, he became the first African American to win the Michigan Amateur Championship, in its 100th year of existence. The win further solidified the momentum to continue onto a professional career. Willie grinded on many satellite tours to collect 65 Professional wins. At the age of 33, the future is calling for Willie's energy and presence.
Willie continues to be recognized for his strength and honor in the game. Earlier this year, he received the Charlie Sifford Memorial Exemption from Tiger Woods to play in the Genesis Open. He continues to be a representative for growth and evolution within the game.&nbsp;
