DEFENDING CHAMPIONS:
Travois Gordón – Armen Grigorian
Winning Score: 32 points
Victory Margin: 5 points over W. Vargas – Fidler
Last year they were a pair of expectant fathers who scored the 2nd most points in Hooters history en route to Armen Grigorian’s 3rd and Travois Gordón’s first Hooters victory. Gordón, who announced to the Tour at the Hooters he was going to be a dad, would go on to have one of the greatest seasons in Tour history. Grigorian would play 2 more times before shutting it down following the birth of his daughter.

TEAMS FOR 2015
GRIGORIAN - GORDÓN
The defending champions, or "Team Daddy", will try to do what only 1 other team in the 11-year history of the tournament has done: repeat. Grigorian makes his 2015 debut. 
PATRICK BIRD - P-JAY FIDLER
Bird's a 2-time champ, most recently 2013. Fidler, despite 6 top-3's in 8 starts and having never finished worse than 4th, is still searching for his first Hooters owl. 
JOHN FROST - CHRIS MOAWAD
Frost has 3 wins in his last 6 Hooters starts. His partner, who he calls "Money Moawad", has 2 runner up finishes since winning in 2007. 
CLINT CRUMP - ED QUIROZ
Crump won the inaugural Hooters in 2003 but has no wins since the format changed. He has 5 top-3's in 9 starts since 2004; Quiroz makes his 2015 debut after missing the first 2 tournaments. 
MARTIN WITT - NIK FREITAS
Tour Champion Witt is the Hooters all-time wins leader (4) and part of the only winning team (Doug Vargas, 2012) to successfully defend the following year; Freitas makes his Hooters debut. 
JOHN MANN - TIM JOE
Will the team be greater than the sum of its parts? In 2 of Mann's 3 career Hooters starts he finished runner up, but he has just 1 start in the last 7 years. Tim Joe has finished last the past 4 years and has never won.
