It is my pleasure to formally welcome you to the 2009 LPGA Tour Championship. We are delighted to bring women’s professional golf back to Texas, and invite you to be part of this season-ending event, as the world’s best compete for their share of a $1.5 million dollar purse and the chance to make LPGA history. A partnership with the LPGA Tour Championship not only offers the chance to reward your clients with unparalleled access to the thrills of competition, but also provides a way for you to specifically market your brand to a wonderfully diverse and captive audience.

The enclosed document outlines the various sponsorship opportunities available for the 2009 championship, which will take place November 17-22 against the magnificent backdrop of The Houstonian Golf & Country Club. Whether you are interested in playing alongside some the best female players in the world, advertising on one of the golf course’s signature holes, or entertaining guests in a luxury skybox throughout the week, there are options available to suit every budget.

On behalf of IMG, The Houstonian Golf & Country Club and the Ladies Professional Golf Association, I sincerely hope you will consider aligning your brand with one of the premier tournaments on the LPGA Tour.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,

Becky NewellTournament Director

THE FIELD

“I am very excited that the LPGA is returning to Texas. I grew up in The Woodlands, so I am looking forward to playing in front of family and friends in the Houston area. It’s hard to believe with all the great golf courses in Texas that it has taken

so long for the LPGA to come back, but I believe it will be a great event and I’m looking forward to it.”

IT TAKES A UNIQUE BREED…

Texas carries with it the mystique of cowboys,

outlaws and gunslingers. In the 19th century, it

became a place to escape and disappear to make

one’s own. Some dared not go. Some never made

it out. In the end, the state itself has represented

the dream so many have sought in their journeys

to Texas. It has been its own Republic with its

own self-sustaining resources and unwavering

fortitude. Texas welcomes the world of women’s

golf, and is curious to see who can hack it.

THE HOUSTONIAN GOLF & COUNTRY CLUBSprinkled with native pines and coppiced pecans,

The Houstonian Golf & Country Club enjoys a pristine

perch amid the meandering bayous of south Texas. The

Club boasts a Reese-Jones designed course, tournament

tennis courts, state-of-the-art workout facilities and

the luxurious, full service, four-star Trellis – The Spa.

And to top it off, The Houstonian is home to

2009 Masters champion Angel Cabrera’s

putting coach Charlie Epps.
