The phones have been ringing off the hook since the announcement last November that the Deutsche Bank Championship, with a world class PGA TOUR field, is returning to Boston from Aug. 26 to Sept. 1 at the Tournament Players Club of Boston in Norton, MA.

The most asked question�how can we get tickets?

On Monday, April 7, daily, weekly and corporate ticket packages for the Deutsche Bank Championship will go on sale for the first time.  All tickets can be purchased by visiting the official Championship website at www.deutschebankchampionship.com or by calling TicketMaster at (866) GOLF-TIX or visiting www.ticketmaster.com.   Tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis for each day and are limited to 10 tickets per person.   These advance ticket prices will be in effect until July 1 or until the event is sold out. Attendance at the Deutsche Bank Championship will be limited to 25,000 people per day.

The Deutsche Bank Championship will have one of the richest purses on the PGA TOUR at $5 million. The Championship will be one of 48 official events on the PGA TOUR, featuring a 72-hole, full-field competition with 156 players vying for the $900,000 1st place prize money.  The event�s charitable proceeds will benefit the Tiger Woods Foundation, which promotes children�s health, education and welfare.

�We are delighted to bring the PGA TOUR back to the Boston area,� said Jay Monahan, Championship Director.  �Given the overwhelming interest in the championship by our passionate golf fans in this region and the world class field expected, we feel that our ticket packages will be very well received in this market and sell-out quickly.   We have made a conscious effort to create ticket packages that make the Deutsche Bank Championship affordable and accessible to all.  To that end, we will provide everyone with the ability to purchase tickets through our website as well as by calling 866-GOLFTIX.�
