WHY: “AT&T is a long-time supporter of the LA County Junior Golf program and its foundation. Through our tournament, along with the Champions Tour professionals, we continue to spread the message of good sportsmanship, competition and fun through the game of golf. This opportunity gives these Junior players personal contact with legends of the game, but what we have found really interesting about this program is the professionals who participate have as much if not more fun than the Juniors. We are proud to provide this opportunity to the Los Angeles County Junior Golf Program and welcome them to Valencia Country Club.” said Brian Fitzgerald, Executive Director of the AT&T Champions Classic.
