News Release NEWS RELEASE For Release: Monday, August 16, 2004 Ticket Info: www.saschampionship.com or 1-800-531-7PGA (7742) Contact: Chris Madigan, [email protected] or (203) 352-6325 TOM KITE COMMITS TO SAS CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY FORBES CARY, N.C. – Tournament officials for the SAS Championship presented by Forbes announced today that 1992 U.S. Open winner Tom Kite intends to play in the fourth annual SAS Championship. The SAS Championship, an official event on the Champions Tour, returns to Prestonwood Country Club, September 20-26. Kite, a 19-time PGA TOUR winner, has seven Champions Tour victories in his four years on Tour. His most recent win came eight days ago at the 3M Championship when he sank three birdies in the last seven holes to win by one stroke over Craig Stadler, also committed to the SAS Championship field. Kite has seven other top-10 finishes this year. His victory at the 3M Championship ended a winless streak dating back to October 2002 and spanning 47 tournaments where he finished in second place six times. One of those second place finishes was last year’s SAS Championship. Kite recorded a career best single-round score of 61 at Prestonwood Country Club during Sunday’s final round, vaulting him from 34th place into a second place finish behind D.A. Weibring. “Tom made an incredible run at last year’s title, posting a score early, creating the stage for an incredibly dramatic finish,” said Jeff Kleiber, tournament director. “He’s one of the best golfers that’s ever played the game. He works very hard and is continually trying to improve his game, which makes it very enjoyable to watch him play.” The field for this year’s SAS Championship continues to take shape and players still have four weeks to commit. Kite’s commitment confirms nine of the current top 10 players on the Champions Tour Money List, 25 out of 30 from last year’s final Money List, and 12 of this year’s 16 different tournament winners will be competing for $270,000 first place check. See Draft Field List for current commitments. Tickets for the SAS Championship can be purchased by logging onto www.saschampionship.com or by calling 1-800-531-7PGA (7742). Proceeds from the Tournament benefit numerous charities in the Triangle, including Communities In Schools of Wake County (CISWC), through the Triangle Community Foundation. The SAS Community Learning Center at Kentwood, an educational facility in a Raleigh public housing neighborhood, was constructed by and is funded by Tournament proceeds. CISWC offers programming, tutor-mentors and computer labs to more than 250 young people and adult residents in the Kentwood community. CISWC was recognized in 2003 as the Champions Tour Charity of the Year. The SAS Championship, in its fourth year, and the Triangle area have become one of the most popular stops on the Champions Tour. Boasting one of the largest non-major purses on the Tour, the event annually draws one of the strongest player fields of the year. Bruce Lietzke won the first two SAS Championships, with D.A. Weibring pulling out the win on the final hole last year. - more - Kite Commits - Page 2 The SAS Championship presented by Forbes will kick-off on Monday, September 20 with early week Pro-Ams and Special Events, including a Skins Game and golf clinic.

  • New Tour Edge Exotics CBX Hybrid in the Bag for Two Top 5'S In
    New Tour Edge Exotics CBX Hybrid in the Bag for Two Top 5’s in Champions Tour Playoff PGA Champions Tour professionals using the new Tour Edge Exotics CBX hybrids and fairway woods earned two Top 5 finishes and three Top 20 finishes at the PowerShares QQQ Championship in the 2nd round of the Champions Tour playoffs Sunday. With only one event left in the 2017 Champions Tour season, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, high-ranking players were looking for a last minute boost to their game. This led the #2 and #21 ranked players in the Charles Schwab Cup standings to work with the Tour Edge Tour Representative on-site of the event held at Sherwood Country Club. According to the Darrell Survey, this resulted in the players putting 18-degree and 20-degree Exotics CBX hybrids in play, respectively, during the tournament rounds. The two new players playing Exotics CBX this week make for the fifth new professional to put the spin-killing hybrids and fairway woods into play over the last three weeks on the Champions Tour. “It is a very solid testimonial in itself that a top ranked tour player would switch clubsin the middle of a playoff run, but it only hasn’t just happened once, it has happened five times over the past three weeks,” said Tour Edge President and Master Club Designer David Glod. “The test numbers don’t lie with the Exotics CBX hybrids and fairway woods and that has helped us gain some momentum with these players looking for a leg up.” The three players using Tour Edge this week account for 12 PGA TOUR career victories between them.
