Fans attending the 2010 Deutsche Bank Championship will be treated to a better experience than ever before when the PGA TOUR’s best players come to TPC Boston on Labor Day weekend.
This year, the Deutsche Bank Championship will feature spectator enhancements that include more bleacher seating throughout the golf course and expanded VIP and Premium Access options that will give fans more opportunities to catch the action up close and in unprecedented ways.
“We are striving to make the 2010 Championship our best yet,” said Eric Baldwin, Championship Director for the Deutsche Bank Championship. “We have added some great new spectator enhancements and ticket incentives that we’re sure will be well-received, and we’ll continue to offer all of the kids’ activities and other fan-experience elements that have been so popular each year of the Championship.”
For fans purchasing grounds tickets, there will be more bleacher seating and an exciting new spectator venue at the 17th tee, called the Overlook. The Overlook is open to all spectators and features a unique atmosphere to socialize with friends, grab a glass of Beringer wine or a cocktail and watch golfers tee off on the 17th hole or finish up on the 18th. It features bleachers facing the 17th tee and an expansive open-air patio overlooking the 18th fairway and green.
For those seeking a Premium Access experience, the MasterCard Club along the 17th fairway is new and improved this year, featuring a new video board to help fans follow the action all over the golf course. The double-decker pavilion offers a unique experience that features the Gosling’s Rum Dark ’n Stormy Tavern, a retail food court, courtyard seating outside and stadium-style seating upstairs. Spectators can enjoy a Boston Red Sox experience with a Green Monster replica and a World Series trophy on display, have the opportunity to take part in PGA TOUR player meet and greets and take pictures with the FedExCup trophy.
New this year is the Delta Global Pavilion, a VIP hospitality pavilion located adjacent to the exciting par-3 16th hole at TPC Boston. Tickets to the Delta Global Pavilion include complimentary premium food and beverage service, stadium seating, an air-conditioned interior and 5,000 complimentary Delta SkyMiles that can be used toward a future flight or redeemed for $50 in merchandise at the Delta SkyMiles Marketplace online. Only 200 tickets are available for each of the four competition rounds in this exclusive pavilion, and they are expected to sell out quickly.
Deutsche Bank Championship week features professional practice rounds Tuesday and Wednesday and the Championship Pro-Am on Thursday before the four-round, 72-hole PGA TOUR Playoff event takes place Friday-Monday (Labor Day).
Tuesday, Aug. 31 will kick off Military Appreciation Week – all active-duty U.S. military personnel, U.S. military retirees and other veterans will be allowed complimentary grounds admission (with their military ID or proof of military service) for each day of the Deutsche Bank Championship, Aug. 31-Sept. 6.
New England’s favorite Labor Day sporting tradition, the 2010 Deutsche Bank Championship features a $7.5 million purse and a $1.35 million winner’s check. It enters its fourth year as a PGA TOUR Playoffs event and is the second of four stops in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup. Its distinguished list of champions includes Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh (twice), Steve Sticker, Adam Scott and Olin Browne.

About TPC Boston
Originally designed by legendary player/designer Arnold Palmer, TPC Boston’s award-winning layout was re-designed in 2007 by celebrated golf course architect Gil Hanse, with PGA TOUR player Brad Faxon serving as a consultant. The result is a compelling par-72, 7,241-yard masterpiece named by Golf Digest the “Best Private Remodel of 2007.”
Crafted to fit seamlessly into the natural New England landscape, lush fairways and Bentgrass greens traverse gently rolling hills, with stands of mature trees, chocolate-drop mounds, numerous wetland areas, fescues and native grasses, and 92 deep bunkers creating a stunning backdrop for this superb test of golf in Norton’s Great Woods. While challenging enough for the best players in the world during the Deutsche Bank Championship, five sets of tees on each hole make the course enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels.
At TPC Boston, remarkable golf is just the beginning of an outstanding PGA TOUR experience.
