Mastering the
Long Game
With competition and costs at an all-time high on the PGA Tour,

W
ill Cook wasn't looking to sponsor a PGA Tour pro, but in the
end that's exactly what he did.
In 2009, Cook, president of Belfor Canada, a company
that repairs and restores property damage, ran into Gerry
Hadwin, father of Adam—a golfer who had just turned pro and
was chasing his dream on the Canadian Tour (now
PGA Tour
Canada). Gerry explained his son's goals and need for cash to
fund his golf. A meeting was arranged.
"We met Adam and really liked him and what he was trying to do," says Cook.
