�The Deutsche Bank Championship Kickoff Concert featuring Sheryl Crow and John Mayer� will mark the official start of this year�s tournament. In just three short years, the Deutsche Bank Championship has become a highlight of the PGA Tour schedule and the place to be in New England on Labor Day weekend.

 

�The Deutsche Bank Championship is proud to once again bring the world�s best golfers back to the New England region,� said Baldwin. �It�s only fitting that this year we�ll also bring two of today�s best-known recording artists in Sheryl Crow and John Mayer performing for both golf and music fans alike.�

 

The concert is part of a 27-city summer tour that begins August 24th in Pittsburgh and concludes on October 12th in Tampa. It will mark the triumphant return for Sheryl Crow, who earlier this year underwent surgery for breast cancer. A portion of every ticket sold on this summer�s tour will benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

  

This year�s Deutsche Bank Championship will once again feature some of golf�s top names, including current world number one Tiger Woods. The Tiger Woods Foundation is the primary beneficiary of the Deutsche Bank Championship. In 2005, the Championship successfully reached its fundraising goal and raised a record $1.6 million for the Tiger Woods Foundation and New England charities. Since its inaugural 2003 event, the Deutsche Bank Championship has raised a total of $4.5 million.
