SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (September 1, 2005) - The SBC Classic today announced the launch of its Web site, www.thesbcclassic.com. The premiere Web site created for the annual Champion’s Tour tournament features current news, press materials, information regarding hospitality opportunities, ticket availability, charity involvement, participating players and local travel and lodging resources.

“We are excited to offer the golf world easy access to a wealth of information regarding the tournament,” said SBC Classic Executive Director Brian Fitzgerald. “Our Web site provides perspective volunteers, sponsors, Pro-Am participants, and golf enthusiasts with relevant information surrounding the SBC Classic. The tournament is committed to growing with the local community and this Web site represents another step towards our long-term goal.”

Aside from the information regarding the tournament, the Web site also showcases SBC Classics’ involvement within the community. The Web site hosts an entire page of charity programs that the tournament supports and is used to invite additional charities and nonprofit organizations to join the “Champions for Charity” and “Charity Partners” programs. These programs provide organizations with the opportunity to use the SBC Classic to generate funds through the sale of tickets and corporate hospitality. The SBC Classic recently donated $110,000 to the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Health Foundation to benefit the foundation’s plans to renovate its emergency department in Santa Clarita.
