"Once again area sports fans continue to look ahead on the calendar and make sure they are part of what has become an extraordinary tournament played on a magnificent golf course, "said Wachovia Championship Executive Director Kym Hougham. "A combination of patrons taking advantage of our renewal program along with many first-time buyers has created a sellout a month earlier than past years. Once again this year, they will be rewarded when the PGA TOUR's premier players come to Charlotte."
