Claire gave an overview of the tournament and talked about some of theplayers who have committed to play. Only 37 cities have a PGA Tournament event and this community continually gets positive review in particular because of the charity dollars. In 2007 the John Deere Classic came in 5th out of the 37. Last year alone, $4.6 million was given to over 600 charities which includes up to 10% that was added from tournament profits. Their mission continues to be to improve the quality of life in the Quad Cities and promote volunteerism.
