Congrats to the three old codgers from the Champions Tour on their victory. However, once again, the big winner in professional golf is charity. Wendy’s 3 Tour Challenge, which will be aired at 1:00 p.m. local time on Dec. 13-14 on ABC, raised $3.7 million for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.
