WHO: WENDY'S 3-TOUR CHALLENGE.

Now celebrating its 17th anniversary, the Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge, benefiting adoption, is the only professional golf tournament that pits three players from the PGA, LPGA and Champions Tours against each other in a head-to-head competition for tour bragging rights and a share of the $1 million dollar purse.

WHAT: LPGA TOUR TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT.

HELEN ALFREDSSON is enjoying one of the best seasons of her professional career. So far in 2008 she has posted three top-10 finishes, including her sixth career LPGA victory at the Evian Masters. With just under $1.1 million in earnings this season she is currently ranked No. 6 on the LPGA Official Money List and No. 9 in the World Golf Rankings. A native of Sweden, Alfredsson was the 1992 LPGA Rookie of the Year and has been a member of eight European Solheim Cup Teams, including 2007 when she was the team's captain. This will be Alfredsson's
first Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge appearance.

NATALIE GULBIS will be making her third straight appearance at the Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge. She is coming off a career 2007 season in which she recorded five top-10 finishes, including her first-career LPGA victory at the Evian Masters. So far in 2008 Gulbis has posted one top-10 finish, a T9 at the RICOH Women's British Open. She was a member of the victorious 2005 and 2007 United States Solheim Cup Teams and together with Cristie Kerr and Morgan Pressel helped lead the LPGA Team to its fourth-career Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge victory in 2007. To date Gulbis has more than $3.6 million in career earnings.

CRISTIE KERR is one of the LPGA's most dominating stars. The 12-year Tour veteran added her 11th career victory at last week's Safeway Classic by defeating Helen Alfredsson and Sophie Gustafson in a one-hole, sudden death playoff. Kerr won the first major championship of her career at the 2007 U.S. Women's Open and is currently ranked No. 6 in the World Golf Rankings and No. 9 on the LPGA Official Money List. She has seven top-10 finishes so far in 2008 and will be making her fifth consecutive appearance at the Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge.
