Bill Costa, from Minnesota, was the grand prize winner of the inaugural Champions Tour Pick 'Em Challenge.

The Pick 'Em Challenge, the finale of the Champions Tour's Summer of Fun social media initiative, allowed fans of the Champions Tour to compete over a six-tournament duration for weekly prizes and the grand prize experience.

Mark O'Meara winning the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship in a playoff over Michael Allen was the key in helping Mr. Costa win the Pick 'Em Challenge. O'Meara was the only winner Mr. Costa picked in the six-week stretch of the competition.

As the competition winner, Mr. Costa received the "Ultimate Fan Experience" - a trip for himself and his guest, Dan Egan, to this week's Charles Schwab Championship at Harding Park in San Francisco.

Part of the prize package included invitations to the President's Dinner on Thursday evening at the St. Francis Yacht Club where they met several Champions Tour professionals, including World Golf Hall of Fame members Tom Watson and Nick Price.
