Wachovia Championship Offers Mulligan Ticket Program

Available for Sold-out Tournament April 28-May 4

CHARLOTTE, N.C. April 17, 2008—Grounds Tickets have sold out for the sixth Wachovia Championship April 28–May 4 at Quail Hollow Club. However, fans have a second chance to see some of the PGA TOUR's top stars.

Once again, the Wachovia Championship is offering a Mulligan ticket program. In golf, a Mulligan is known as a "do over." The Wachovia Championship's Mulligan ticket program allows fans that purchased daily ground tickets to donate them back to the tournament if they find they cannot spend the entire day at Quail Hollow.

This is the only PGA TOUR event to offer this program. Also, patrons are reminded that for the sixth straight year, the Wachovia Championship offers free admission to children 12 years old and younger when accompanied by a ticketed adult.

The Mulligan tickets will then be sold for just $10, with all the proceeds benefiting a charity, which has not yet been determined.

The Mulligan tickets will be available for purchase starting at noon each day at the Will Call locations—Monday through Sunday at Symphony Park (SouthPark Area); Monday through Friday at Carowinds/Fiesta Plaza Carolinas; Saturday and Sunday at Ballantyne Corporate Park.

"Following our sixth straight sellout, we are pleased to offer this program once again at the Wachovia Championship" says Kym Hougham, Executive Director. "After each of our past five Wachovia Championship tournaments, many fans who missed the opportunity to purchase tickets have commented on how grateful they are to have this opportunity."

Mulligan tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis and only valid for the remainder of the day issued. All Mulligan tickets are ground access only. Supplies of tickets are limited. For more information, please call the ticket office, 800-945-0777.

Proceeds from the 2008 Wachovia Championship will benefit the tournament's primary charity Teach For America, a national education foundation that provides a corps of outstanding recent college graduates of all academic majors who commit to teach for two years in underserved urban and rural public schools. In five years, the Wachovia Championship has donated $7.5 million to charities.

The Wachovia Championship's $6.4 million purse guarantees the winner in excess of $1 million. In 2005, the Wachovia Championship signed an agreement with the PGA TOUR to hold the event in Charlotte through the year 2010.
