Share-based Compensation [Abstract] |
Stock Plans and Management Compensation | Stock Plans and Management Compensation Under the Brunswick Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), non-vested stock awards and performance awards to executives, other employees and non-employee directors, with 5.0 million shares from treasury shares and from authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock initially available for grant, in addition to: (i) the forfeiture of past awards; or (ii) shares not issued upon the net settlement of SARs; (iii) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the withholding taxes related to awards. As of December 31, 2016, 5.5 million shares remained available for grant. Non-Vested Stock Awards The Company grants both stock-settled and cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards to key employees as determined by management and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Non-vested stock units and awards have vesting periods of three or four years. Non-vested stock units and awards are eligible for dividends, which are reinvested, and are non-voting. All non-vested units and awards have restrictions on the sale or transfer of such awards during the vesting period. Generally, grants of non-vested stock units and awards are forfeited if employment is terminated prior to vesting. Non-vested stock units and awards vest pro rata over one year if (i) the grantee has attained the age of 62, or (ii) the grantee's age plus total years of service equals 70 or more. The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock units and awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Additionally, cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and adjusted to fair value each reporting period through stock compensation expense. During December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company charged $10.8 million, $13.6 million and $10.5 million, respectively, to compensation expense for non-vested stock units and awards. The related income tax benefit recognized in 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $4.1 million, $5.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The fair value of shares vested during 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $13.8 million, $20.4 million and $14.1 million, respectively. The weighted average price per Non-vested stock award at grant date was $40.01, $53.77 and $40.41 for awards granted in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Non-vested stock award activity for the year ended December 31, 2016 was as follows:
(in thousands, except grant date fair value) | Non-vested Stock Award Activity |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested awards, unvested at January 1 | 322 |  |  | $ | 44.46 |
Awarded | 332 |  |  | 40.01 |
Forfeited | (22 | ) |  | 42.11 |
Vested | (253 | ) |  | 40.48 |
Non-vested awards, unvested at December 31 | 379 |  |  | $ | 43.35 |
As of December 31, 2016, there was $6.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock awards. The Company expects this expense to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years. Stock Options and SARs Through 2004, the Company issued stock options, and between 2005 and 2012, the Company issued stock-settled SARs. Generally, stock options and SARs are exercisable over a period of 10 years, or as otherwise determined by management and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and subject to vesting periods of generally 4 years. However, with respect to stock options and SARs, all grants vest immediately: (i) in the event of a change in control; (ii) upon death or disability of the grantee; or (iii) with respect to awards granted prior to 2008, upon the sale or divestiture of the business unit to which the grantee is assigned. In addition, grantees continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule even upon termination if (i) the grantee has attained the age of 62, or (ii) the grantee's age plus total years of service equals 70 or more. An additional provision applies that prorates the grant in the event of termination prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant, provided the participant had met the appropriate retirement age definition of rule of 70 or age 62. SARs and stock option activity for all plans for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, was as follows:

Total stock option and SARs expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 was nominal. Total stock option and SARs expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Performance Awards In February 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company granted performance shares to certain senior executives. The 2016 and 2015 share awards are based on three performance measures: a cash flow return on investment (CFROI) measure, an operating margin (OM) measure and a total shareholder return (TSR) modifier. The 2014 share awards are based on a CFROI measure and a TSR modifier. Performance shares are earned based on a three-year performance period, except for the CFROI measure for the 2014 awards which is based on a one-year performance period. Performance periods commence at the beginning of the calendar year of each grant. The performance shares are then subject to a TSR modifier based on stock returns measured against stock returns of a predefined comparator group over the three-year performance period. Additionally, in February 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company granted 37,430, 22,990, and 24,600 performance shares, respectively, to certain officers and certain senior managers based on the respective measures and performance periods described above but excluding a TSR modifier. The fair values of the senior executives' performance share award grants with a TSR modifier at the grant date in 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $38.54, $56.17 and $41.38, respectively, which were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:
| 2016 |  | 2015 |  | 2014
Risk-free interest rate | 0.8 | % |  | 1.0 | % |  | 0.6 | %
Dividend yield | 1.0 | % |  | 0.9 | % |  | 1.0 | %
Volatility factor | 40.8 | % |  | 39.2 | % |  | 43.7 | %
Expected life of award | 2.9 years |  |  | 2.9 years |  |  | 2.9 years |
The fair value of certain officers' and certain senior managers' performance awards granted based solely on the CFROI and OM performance factors, as applicable, was $37.76, $52.39 and $40.44, which was equal to the stock price on the date of grant in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, less the present value of dividend payments over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense related to performance awards of $6.1 million, $8.0 million and $6.5 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The related income tax benefit recognized in 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $2.3 million, $3.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The fair value of awards vested during 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $9.1 million, $7.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively. Performance award activity for the year ended December 31, 2016 was as follows:
(in thousands, except grant date fair value) | Performance Awards |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Performance awards, unvested at January 1 | 50 |  |  | $ | 49.39 |
Awarded | 217 |  |  | 37.99 |
Forfeited | (9 | ) |  | 38.49 |
Vested | (167 | ) |  | 38.15 |
Performance awards, unvested at December 31 | 91 |  |  | $ | 43.91 |
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $2.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to performance awards. The Company expects this expense to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. Excess Tax Benefits For tax purposes, share-based compensation expense is deductible in the year of exercise or release based on the intrinsic value of the award on the date of exercise or release. For financial reporting purposes, share-based compensation expense is based upon grant-date fair value, which is amortized over the vesting period. Excess or "windfall" tax benefits represent the excess tax deduction received by the Company resulting from the difference between the share-based compensation expense deductible for tax purposes and the share-based compensation expense recognized for financial reporting purposes. Windfall tax benefits are recorded directly to Additional paid-in capital in Shareholders' equity on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Windfall tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $13.4 million, $7.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively, and are netted out of cash from operating activities and are reflected as a cash inflow from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Director Awards The Company issues stock awards to non-employee directors in accordance with the terms and conditions determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. A portion of each director’s annual fee is paid in Brunswick common stock, the receipt of which may be deferred until a director retires from the Board of Directors. Each director may elect to have the remaining portion paid in cash, in Brunswick common stock distributed at the time of the award, or in deferred Brunswick common stock units with a 20 percent premium.
