July 2003 (Newstream) -- What better way to learn how to play the game of golf than having your instructor be the world's greatest golfer. Imagine winning the chance of a lifetime to participate in a private clinic hosted by Tiger Woods. The Upper Deck Co. LLC is giving everyday fans and collectors the opportunity to win a chance from the best golfer in the game, Tiger Woods, through its "Swing with Tiger" Sweepstakes. The promotion kicks off this month in packs of 2003 Upper Deck Golf trading cards and runs through August.
The 14 lucky fans will win the chance to receive private instruction from Tiger Woods in the form of a clinic at a yet to be named course in the Orlando, Fla. area. The winners will be randomly selected from sweepstakes entry cards featured in packs of 2003 Upper Deck Golf and online entries available at www.upperdeck.com.
"Just like Tiger Woods continues to establish himself as the dominant force on the PGA Tour, The Upper Deck Company strives and exceeds at providing sports fans with trading cards that are rich in content and have the industry's best precision photography," explained Marketing Director Louise Curcio of The Upper Deck Company. "Building off of the success of last year's 'Win a Round of Golf with Tiger Woods' promotion, this year's 'Swing with Tiger' sweepstakes is designed to deliver the best possible once-in-a-lifetime fan experience that a golf enthusiast could want."
"Clinics are a great way to introduce people to golf and I'm excited for the opportunity to work with Upper Deck in educating fans on how to play the game that I love. I'm sure we'll all enjoy ourselves," said Tiger Woods.
Sweepstakes winners will be announced in late September. All 14 winners will receive round-trip airfare to Orlando, hotel accommodations and memorabilia from their special experience with Woods. The event will take place in October.
