RATON, FL (January 21, 2012)— As the tournament roster continues to take shape for
the 2013 Allianz
Championship, two PGA Champions Tour
rookies—Naples resident Rocco Mediate and Australian Steve Elkington—will take on the field as a celebrated roster of
golf legends will descend onto The Old Course at Broken Sound Club from
February 4th-10th for the seventh consecutive year in Boca
Raton. Tournament week is jam-packed with interactive “events within the event”
before and during championship play with opportunities for “up close and
personal” interaction with pros for golf fans of all ages.

the first in the early-season Florida swing, tournament play will include 2012

race winner), 2010 champion Bernhard Langer, Mark
Calcavecchia, Fuzzy

share of a $1.8 million purse. Produced by the nonprofit Boca Raton Champions
Golf Charities (BRCGC) board that oversees tournament operations, financials
and distribution of all charitable funds, the Allianz Championship will
continue to “chip-in” net proceeds to benefit the Boca Raton Regional Hospital.
