| We are very proud to announce that in addition to one of Americas finest young players, Nick Watney we have the #4 ranked player in the world Steve Stricker playing the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. I am also very excited to announce today that the 2007 British Open Champion Padraig Harrington has committed to playing in our event. He will join a long list of great players including David Toms, Retief Goosen, Mike Weir, Chris Dimarco, John Daly, Lucas Glover, Boo Weekly, Bubba Watson, J.B. Holmes, JJ Henry, Woody Austin, Jim Furyk, Brian Bateman and Mark Calcaveccia. I am also very pleased to report that some of world’s best young players are playing the Zurich Classic this year…Anthony Kim, Jonathan Byrd, Daniel Chopra, and Andres Romero. We have 10 of the Top 50 players in the world and 21 players who have won a PGA TOUR event in the past two years which is a great indicator of the strength of our field. Our event will have players from over 10 nations and we expect a large international television audience to spotlight New Orleans.
