Includes Photograph Opportunities with Boston Red Sox Championship Trophy and Kids-Only Viewing Areas

NORTON, Mass., (Aug. 1, 2005) - The Deutsche Bank Championship today announced the addition of two new fan- and family-friendly innovations for this year�s event at the Tournament Player�s Club of Boston beginning August 30, 2005. �Kids Zones� and �Kids Village� have been designed and implemented to enhance the experience of parents and children at one of the most unique stops on the PGA TOUR schedule.

�Kids Zones� � designated viewing areas for children - will be divided into two sections and securely staffed by Championship volunteers at all times. One section is for children 12 and under only, a second section will be for parents to remain near their children.  Only parents and children will be allowed in these areas. The viewing areas will be created at the 1st tee, 9th green, 10th tee, 15th green 18th green and the driving range in order to provide kids with unobstructed viewing areas.

The �Kids Village� is an outdoor entertainment complex that has been designed to give families the opportunity to step away from the green and enjoy interactive activities.   A highlight for all will be one-of-a kind family photo opportunities with the Boston Red Sox World Championship trophy, Bode Miller�s 2004 World Cup Downhill Skiing Trophy and player visits. Additional activities include face painting, video games, kids� golf games and arts and crafts.  The complex will be located adjacent to the spectator commons at the 18th hole.

Additional amenities for families, such as up-front parking, parent/child restrooms, and a children�s concession area have also been added to this year�s event. 

�Since its inception in 2003 the Deutsche Bank Championship, along with Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation, has been committed to making a difference in the lives of children in New England and across the country through our charitable donations,� Championship Executive Director Jay Monahan. �This year, we are combining our focus on children with our fan-friendly initiatives to make our world-class event even more enjoyable for the whole family.� 

 Fans of all ages are also invited to meet the players after they have officially completed their round for autographs. All autographs will be signed in the official autograph area, which will be located between the 18th green and the Clubhouse.

 All children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Adults with large groups of children should contact the Championship office prior to attending to obtain passes.
