About the Chrysler Club Championship

The Chrysler Club Championship, presented by Golf Digest Publications, is an amateur golf competition for men and women that is played in a series of matches at local, regional and national levels. Regional winners advance to the national finals, a two-day tournament played in conjunction with the PGA Tour's Chrysler Championship on October 28-29 at the Westin Innisbrook Golf Resort in Palm Harbor, Fla. The male and female winners at the finals will receive the opportunity to play in the 2006 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic (January 16-22, 2006) with celebrities and some of the best golf professionals in the world.

Chrysler has been affiliated with golf for most of its history. In fact, 2005 marks the 40th anniversary of Chrysler's participation in golf, which began when it first sponsored the Bob Hope Classic in 1965.

"Golf has long been an integral part of the Chrysler Brand, and is a sport that reflects the character of both the brand and the millions of Chrysler owners," said Bell. "The style and sophistication of the Chrysler 300, Chrysler Crossfire and Chrysler Town & Country are perfectly at home at country clubs across the U.S."

The Chrysler Brand also sponsors four professional golf tournaments. The remaining tournament in 2005 is the Chrysler Championship, scheduled for October 24-30 in Tampa, Fla.
