The discount applies to the three-day package (called Season Grounds Tickets) and must be purchased before Nov. 1.

The regular ticket price for the Champions Clinic and Pro-Am Tournament on Monday, Nov. 20, is $10.

This year's PGA Grand Slam of Golf field is made up of U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy, British Open and PGA Championship winner Tiger Woods and alternates Jim Furyk and Mike Weir, the first and third top finishers on the 2006 Major Champions Points List.
