SCV Boys & Girls Club Now Selling 2009 AT&T Champions Classic Tickets
New website created, dedicated to ticket sales
SANTA CLARITA, CALIF — The Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley will be the exclusive organization to sell tickets for the upcoming AT&T Champions Classic Golf Tournament in the Santa Clarita Valley.
John Mahaffey, President of the Club and Craig Peters, President of the Club's Foundation (the fundraising arm of the Club) announced the collaborative effort with the AT&T Champions Classic to be held from March 9-15, 2009 at the Valencia Country Club in Santa Clarita. Ticket sales will benefit the work of the local Boys & Girls Club that was founded in the Santa Clarita Valley 40 years ago.
Mahaffey said at the announcement, "It is exciting to be a part of one of only thirty annual PGA Champions Tour events across the country. The week-long tournament, featuring the top players on the PGA Champions Tour, contributes an estimated $19.2 million each year to the greater Los Angeles area, with a direct local impact in the Santa Clarita Valley of $8.3 million." Peters added, "We are very pleased to participate in order to assist our 'kids' with their potential growth and learning experiences."
Some of the PGA tour greats scheduled to play in the 2009 event include defending champion Denis Watson, 2007 winner Tom Purtzer and 2006 winner Tom Kite, as well as Ben Crenshaw, Craig Stadler, Raymond Floyd, Gil Morgan and Des Smyth.
Tickets to the 2009 AT&T Champions Classic are on sale now through the Boys & Girls Club – both online and by telephone. A special website will make it easy for golf fans to purchase their tickets in advance for the March event via a secured process.
