SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - AT&T has agreed to extend its sponsorship with the PGA TOUR for the 2008 Champions Tour AT&T Champions Classic, Brian Fitzgerald, Tournament Chairman, announced today.

The host site for the 2008 event has not yet been finalized.

"We are pleased to start the New Year by making this announcement as AT&T continues to enjoy a great relationship with the PGA TOUR and especially this Champions Tour event in the Los Angeles market," Fitzgerald said. "We continue to build this event off a strong foundation that has been established over the last few years, and AT&T takes great pride in bringing this event to the many golf fans in the area, as well as to a nationally-televised audience. Our hope is to have the host site details finalized in the very near future."
