Buy Tickets

Bookings are closed for this event.

In 1993, Phil Bates met up with old friend Kelly Groucutt, who had been ELO bassist, resulting in Bates joining ELO Part 2, replacing Pete Haycock and Neil Lockwood. ELO Part 2 took the music of ELO around the world, often playing with symphony orchestras in large venues around the globe. Extensive touring in Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Chile, US, Canada, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, South Africa, UK followed … until 1999, when Bates quit to spend more time with his family, and to study for a degree.

Solo work and recent career

After supporting his studies with all manner of gigs, stints in call centres, and a period as a bookseller in Hay-on-Wye, Bates graduated from the University of Wales in 2003 with a History BA Hons. The solo albums ‘Naked’ and ‘Agony & Ecstasy’ were released in 1996 and 1998, plus tours of the UK and Germany with Mik Kaminski. Two further solo albums, Alter Ego (2003) and One Sky (2005) followed. All released on Bates’s own labels, DPP, and latterly Essential Music. A compilation CD Retrospectiv, also on Essential, was released in 2007.

After leaving ELO Part 2, Bates became a member of the Eleanor Rigby Experience, along with Andy Bole, Maartin Allcock, Clive Bunker and Tina McBain, who released 2 CDs and toured extensively in the UK. A short stint with The Bev Bevan Band and “Bev Bevan’s Move” followed (2003/2005), along with the formation in the same year of German-based band, ELB (Electric Light Band). In 2007, Bates rejoined his old mates from ELO Part 2 in The Orchestra (featuring members of ELO and Part 2).

In 2008, Bates formed the Beatles, Blues and Blue Violin project (BBBV) with Mik Kaminski and Tina McBain, resulting in a tour, and the 2010 BBBV album.

In 2022 and 2023, Bates is still gigging extensively with his “Tribute to ELO” throughout Europe as “Phil Bates and Band”. He has often appeared live on German, Swiss and Polish TV playing ELO songs

The 106th PGA Championship returns to Valhalla this week. Here are some of the big storylines.

By Mike Darnay

May 14, 2024 / 3:12 AM EDT / CBS Pittsburgh

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (KDKA) -- The PGA Championship returns to Valhalla Golf Club for the fourth time as the tournament is set to get underway this week.

Here are some of the big storylines ahead of the 106th playing of the PGA Championship. 

Brooks Koepka eyeing his sixth major

Last year's defending champion is looking to win his sixth overall major, which would move him into a tie for 12th place all-time alongside names like Lee Trevino, Nick Faldo, and Phil Mickelson.

PGA Championship Golf

Koepka heads into this week's tournament after winning at Oak Hill last year and finishing tied for 17th at last year's U.S. Open before a suboptimal showing at last year's Open Championship and this year's playing of the Masters. 

Rory's decade-long drought

It's coming up on nearly a full decade since Rory McIlroy last won a major. Ironically enough, McIlroy's last major win came in 2014 when he won the PGA Championship at none other than, you guessed it, Valhalla. 

PGA Championship - Final Round

This will surely be a massive talking point this week for one of the giants of the game. 

McIlroy has had numerous close calls in recent years, finishing 2nd at the Masters and U.S. Open and 3rd at the Open Championship all within the last 13 months. 

In his last ten major tournament appearances, McIlroy has seven top-ten finishes and has only missed the cut once. 

Rory heads into the PGA this week in fine form with wins the last two weeks at the Zurich Classic alongside fellow Irishman Shane Lowry and at the Wells Fargo Championship on Sunday. 

Michael Block back in the limelight

Michael Block made all of the headlines a year ago when he made the cut at Oak Hill, finding himself paired with Rory McIlroy for the final day of the tournament.

He was the ultimate crowd favorite and made a hole-in-one with the world watching.

MICHAEL BLOCK HOLE-IN-ONE‼️ YOU COULDN'T WRITE A BETTER SCRIPT 👏 pic.twitter.com/OLwKoIYYuP — ESPN (@espn) May 21, 2023

He wasn't done yet though, as he converted an exceptional up-and-down par on the 18th hole to earn his way into this year's tournament at Valhalla. 

Scottie Scheffler no longer on baby watch

So far this season on the PGA Tour, no one has been able to stop Scottie Scheffler. 

The #1 ranked player in the world, Scheffler  won the Arnold Palmer Invitational  and  The Players Championship in March  before winning  the Masters  and the  RBC Heritage last month.

There was talk heading into The Masters and this week that the pending birth of his first child might be the only thing able to keep him off of the course and outside of the winner's circle.

At Augusta National, Scheffler Baby Watch was on as his wife Meredith was prepared to go into labor and Scottie said he would leave the course and be there, no matter where he was at in the tournament. 

Baby Watch continued on over the past few weeks, but the watch has ended, as Meredith and Scottie are celebrating the birth of their child.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Scottie Scheffler (@scottie.scheffler)

Scheffler will be in the field at the PGA Championship this week and gunning for his third major. 

Tiger Woods in the field

A past champion at Valhalla, Tiger is in the hunt for his 16th major this week at the PGA Championship. 

Woods was out on the course for a practice round yesterday sporting a goatee that we didn't see earlier this year. 

2024 PGA Championship - Preview Day One

His arrival at Valhalla comes on the heels of last month's Masters tournament where he made his 24th straight cut. 

Woods has won four PGA Championships in his career with his last coming in 2007 at Southern Hills. 

Justin Thomas back in his home state

One of the fan favorites this week will surely be Kentucky's native son, Justin Thomas. 

Born and raised in Louisville, Thomas was a standout youth and high school golfer before playing his college golf at the University of Alabama. 

A two-time winner of the PGA Championship in 2017 and 2022, Thomas is eyeing his third major championship and would surely love to do so in front of a home crowd. 

Valhalla's fourth time hosting the PGA

Valhalla has played host to major championships before, hosting the PGA Championship three times -- in 1996, 2000, and 2014.

The Jack Nicklaus-designed course opened in 1986 and will play just over 7,600 yards for this week's tournament. 

2024 PGA Championship - Preview Day One

In past years, the tournament was held in August, but this will be the first time Valhalla hosts the PGA in May. 

When does the tournament start?

The opening round of the PGA Championship will get underway on Thursday. 

Tee times and pairings haven't been announced yet.

New to Bates, it’s the CATSBYS and six amazing sports moments in 2023–24

By Bates News — Published on May 10, 2024

The late Jim McKay had it right, of course. Sports are more than W’s and L’s in a box score. 

Sports is the “thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,” as McKay said in the famous intro to Wide World of Sports , made all the more thrilling and agonizing by transcendent, unforgettable moments — a buzzer-beater, clutch putt, or the slow unfolding drama of a track relay race.

phil bates tour 2023

On May 8, Bates Athletics debuted its new awards program, “the CATSBYS ” (think ESPN’s “Espys,” with a smidge of F. Scott Fitzgerald), and put a few defining Bobcat moments from 2023–24 on center stage. The event took place in the Gray Athletic Building, and was organized by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

Far from the staid awards programs you might recall from high school or college, the CATSBYS featured a red carpet entrance, video highlights of Bobcat performances, lots of music (the hosts entered to “Levitating” by Dua Lipa and DaBaby, and the Crosstones’ rousing a cappella rendition of Hozier’s “Someone New”) — plus many, many awards.

phil bates tour 2023

Among the various and familiar sports award categories (breakout athlete, rookie of the year) and the presenting of the esteemed Lindholm Scholar-Athlete Awards, were awards for “Moment of the Year” in men’s and women’s athletics.

Women’s moments of the year nominees

  • To the screams of teammates, Nordic ski captain Olivia Cuneo ’24 of St. George, Vt., finishes second out of 92 competitors at the Dartmouth Carnival in the 1.3-kilometer freestyle, the best Bates finish since 2017.
  • Maria Femia ’25 of Canton, Mass., scores the winning double overtime goal in field hockey’s victory over Bowdoin in an emotional and thrilling NESCAC quarterfinal game, on a night when the Bobcats honored their home city of Lewiston after a tragic week. [Winner.]
  • Executing a play the team had just gone over for the first time that morning, Alexandra Long ’25 of Newtown, Pa., delivers a long, perfect pass to Elsa Daulerio ’26 of Harpswell, Maine, who made an open layup to beat Tufts, the Bobcats’ first win over the Jumbos since 2010.

Men’s moments of the year nominees :

  • From a tough angle, Tife Agunloye ’25 of Monroe, Conn., scores with just two seconds remaining to send the Bobcat soccer faithful into a frenzy as Bates stuns the University of Maine at Farmington, 2-1, last fall.
  • Just three weeks ago, Henry Ehrlich ’26 of Portland, Ore., taps in on the 18th hole at Brunswick Golf Club to earn co-medalist honors at the NESCAC Championship as Bates ties Trinity for third place out of 10 teams, the best finish in program history.
  • Distance medley runners Ned Farrington ’24, Calvin Capelle ’25, Truman Williams ’25, and Ross Tejeda ’26 finish fourth at the 2024 NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships, earning All-America honors. [Winner.]

While much was new at the CATSBYS, the Milton L. Lindholm Scholar Athlete Awards offered something familiar and venerable. 

The Lindholms have been given annually since 1976 to seniors on men’s and women’s teams with the highest grade-point averages. The awards honor the revered admission dean of the Class of 1935 who served Bates for 32 years, and were presented by Malcolm Hill, dean of the faculty and vice president for academic affairs.

This year’s four Lindholm winners each achieved a perfect 4.0 GPA:

  • Matthew Danielson, a men’s tennis team captain and biology major from St. Petersburg, Fla.
  • Grace Acton a women’s golfer and interdisciplinary studies major from Harvard, Mass.
  • Nerea Barranco Aramburu, a women’s golfer and double major in mathematics and engineering from Zarautz, Spain.
  • Rachel Liazos, a softball captain and politics major from Westborough, Mass.

Wells Fargo prize money: Rory McIlroy closing on Phil Mickelson for second in all-time Tour earnings

Rory McIlroy has now won the Wells Fargo Championship four times . But never has it been worth more — at least, financially — than on this occasion.

This year's edition was a signature event on the Tour schedule, with a $20 million purse and $3.6 million to the winner. That haul takes McIlroy's Wells Fargo career total to $9,463,076.

With $86.6 million in official career Tour earnings, McIlroy is now $10 million from surpassing Phil Mickelson for second on the all-time list. Tiger Woods is first with $121 million.

Here's a look at the purse payout in the no-cut event in Charlotte, North Carolina:

2024 PGA Championship best bets, sleepers and props: Betting on Rory McIlroy and Si Woo Kim

The second men’s major championship of 2024 brings with it more opportunities to play a variety of proposition bets as well as take some good golfers at long odds to win. The PGA Championship hasn’t been kind to long shots since Rich Beem, Shaun Micheel, and Y.E. Yang won in the 2000s, but just down the road from Valhalla Golf Club , you will find Churchill Downs where long shots have made many a bettor’s dreams come true. Mystik Dan won the 2024 Kentucky Derby at 16 to 1. Does that mean I should be looking at Xander Schauffele at 16 to 1 to win at almost every major sportsbook?

The PGA Championship is set up to reward the best ball strikers in the world and the best ball strikers in the world win golf tournaments regularly on the PGA Tour .

Tiger Woods is usually the focus of most of the proposition betting lines when he is healthy enough to tee it up at a major championship, but the majority of sportsbooks have made their Tiger Woods prop bets so outrageous that they aren’t even worth looking at. The best way I have seen to get any prop bet action on Tiger Woods is to bet against him in head-to-head and in three balls. Underdog and a few other sites have Tiger Woods over 71.5 for his first-round score option, and I would jump on that if it were available in my area.

My favorite prop at the Masters this year was taking Rory McIlroy as the low Irishman over Shane Lowry, but that’s not an option this week. I want to find ways to bet Rory McIlroy without having to take him at +750 to win, and the prop market is where I look. You can find many ways to bet Rory McIlroy as long as you know where to look. I’ll share some of my favorite prop bets that are being offered later in the article.

Odds are from  BetMGM  and update live. 

Si Woo Kim +9000 has gained strokes off the tee in every tournament since the Open Championship in July 2023. He has gained more than 11 strokes combined in his last two tournaments. He has gained strokes around the green in seven straight tournaments. Kim is the ultimate no-putt candidate this week. He lost more than 5 strokes putting at the Wells Fargo Championship and still managed to finish T16.

Sungjae Im +9000 has gained strokes off the tee in five straight tournaments. After the RBC Heritage, I was excited to bet him in Texas, but unfortunately, he was forced to withdraw due to illness. He bounced back at the Wells Fargo Championship, placing T4. His iron play has been an issue this season. He has only gained strokes on the field on approach in two of his last twelve golf tournaments. Those statistics do scare me a bit. He’s close to figuring it out.

Corey Conners +11000  is coming into the PGA Championship off the back of gaining over 9.7 strokes ball striking at the Wells Fargo Championship. Conners’ game is built to compete at the PGA Championship. He has two top-17 finishes in his last three PGA Championships.

Keith Mitchell +15000 is getting back to dominating off the tee, gaining over 10 strokes combined off the tee in his last two measured events. He has gained strokes on approach in eight straight measured events and has the type of game you see win or contend for PGA Championships. Love getting him at this price to pair with some high-priced players.

Kurt Kitayama +20000 is on team no-putt this week for me. Kitayama is an excellent ball striker who pops up on leaderboards when his putter allows him to convert all the chances he creates. He has gained strokes off the tee in five straight measured events and has gained more than 3 strokes on approach in three of his last five measured events. He finished T4 at last year’s PGA Championship, so he has a taste for it.

Always shop around at different sportsbooks for the best odds. 

Akshay Bhatia +165 won the 2018 Junior PGA Championship here and has had an excellent season on the PGA Tour. He has struggled with his driver lately which has me a little concerned with his upside this week, but I still like Bhatia just a little bit more than Brian Harman who has struggled with every club except his putter lately.

Phil Mickelson +150 has gained 2.1 or more strokes in three straight measured events and just squeaks by Padraig Harrington for me this week as the top senior finisher. Mickelson has a long history here, sleeping on the lead going into the weekend in 1996, finishing inside the top 10 when Tiger Woods won in 2000, and battling Rory McIlroy in darkness in 2014 for a second-place finish.

Winner to birdie the 72nd hole

Yes -120 The last three times Valhalla Golf Club hosted the PGA Championship, there have been two playoffs and a near playoff in 2014. I believe the tournament will be close coming down to the end and someone will need to birdie 18 to win the golf tournament.

Round 1 matchups

Adam Scott -185 over Tiger Woods — Adam Scott has gained nearly 9 strokes combined ball striking in his last two golf tournaments, while Tiger Woods looks like he is still knocking off the rust.
