iMPACT is excited to be the title sponsor for the second Daytona, Florida event at the beautiful LPGA International golf course and country club. Women's professional golf has surged in popularity and this event promises to showcase the next wave of young stars. Long-term rivalries to be played out on the LPGA Tour over the next few decades will begin here on the Duramed FUTURES Tour.
We invite you to join us at this year's event by investing in a sponsorship and leveraging the growing LPGA brand. The fans, sponsors, and volunteers that support this event will create an atmosphere of excitement that will energize these talented young athletes, and remind the community that Daytona Beach is proud to be the home of women’s professional golf. The players are recognized as the LPGA's stars of tomorrow and they reinforce that message each year by winning LPGA tournaments and top LPGA honors. The players you watch during the week come from as many as 24 countries around the world, and begin the season with great credentials and previous success in amateur and collegiate golf.
As the LPGA’s developmental tour, the Duramed FUTURES Tour has graduated more than 300 players to the LPGA Tour. Many of these professionals have become the world's top-ranked players. This year's event offers you the chance to watch players who most likely will move on to the LPGA Tour. Mexico's Lorena Ochoa was the 2002 Player of the Year on the Duramed FUTURES Tour, became the LPGA's top rookie in 2003, then went on to earn honors in 2006, 2007 and 2008 as the LPGA's Rolex Player of the Year. Tour alum Angela Park was the LPGA’s top rookie in 2007. Inbee Park won the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open Championship. Next year 31 Duramed FUTURES Tour alumnae will join the LPGA after earning membership based on their performances in 2008.
The excitement of watching 144 of the world’s best young women golfers is memorable, but equally valuable is the opportunity that hosting this tournament provides in support for local, national, and global charities. What better way to combine world-class entertainment and charitable endeavors than to stage this tournament! It is our goal to work closely with various charities to make a lasting contribution to the community and region for years to come, as well as to stage a unique event of which the residents of Volusia County may be proud to call their own.
Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you April 3-5, 2009 at LPGA International Golf Club.
Warm Regards,
Bobby C. Christian
CEO & Managing Partner
