OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- Wearing PeakVision Sports' patented Dual-Zone eyewear from tee to green, Briana Vega added the overall title to her ladies victory on The Golf Channel's "The Big Break VI: Trump National."
Vega completed a sweep of The Big Break VI competition by defeating the men's champion in the ultimate, nine-hole match at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles. Wearing PeakVision Sports sunglasses for every shot - including a 10-foot birdie putt to seal the overall victory during the December 12 episode - Vega claimed $21,000 in cash, a 2007 Chrysler Aspen, and a trip to New York on a private plane to receive her winnings personally from Donald Trump.
By virtue of winning the ladies portion of The Big Break VI during the December 5 episode, Vega (North Andover, Mass.) earned exemptions into both the 2007 SBS Open at Turtle Bay and the 2007 Longs Drugs Challenge on the LPGA Tour, and received waived entry fees for the 2007 Duramed FUTURES Tour season.
"All of us at PeakVision Sports congratulate Bri on her ultimate victory as The Big Break VI champion," says PeakVision Sports founder and CEO Paul Moore. "Bri continues to tell us how she confidently trusted her PEAKS to reveal the details she needed to know for every shot she played. We wish her great success as her golf career advances to the highest professional levels."
Like their predecessors on "The Big Break V: Hawaii," the Big Break VI's cast of 18 contestants - nine male and nine female - enjoyed access to the full suite of PeakVision Sports' high-performance eyewear, including the recently introduced Special Edition models of the GR4 and CL1 frames. Both Big Break V finalists wore PEAKS while playing many shots on their way to the title match last season, including winner Ashley Prange.
PeakVision Sports sunglasses have proved highly popular among professional golfers. PGA Tour players Billy Andrade and Scott McCarron, Champions Tour mainstay Bruce Fleisher, golf "color" commentator David Feherty, and up-and-coming LPGA Tour players Moira Dunn, Mikaela Parmlid, Beth Bader, Jean Bartholomew, Becky Morgan and Heather Young are among those professional players who count PEAKS as an integral component in their golf equipment arsenal.
Previously in 2006, PeakVision Sports introduced three white-hot models - SD7, DG9 and GR4 -- that have become rapidly adopted by recreational golfers and players on the PGA, LPGA and Champions Tours. The company also launched the PEAKS Rx Program, allowing those with optical prescriptions to enjoy the benefits of PeakVision Sports eyewear in the SL8, SD7 and ST7 models.
In addition to golfers performing at higher levels wearing PeakVision Sports sunglasses, they are also popular among skiers, professional baseball umpires and pilots where vision is critical to performance.

About PeakVision Sports
The first major lens innovation in sports sunglass technology in more than 40 years, PeakVision Sports high-performance eyewear represents a radical step forward in optical design and lens manufacturing. The vast majority of sunglasses since the 1960s have had single-filter, polycarbonate lenses incapable of properly managing the bright hues of the horizon and sky versus the dark hues of terrain and landscape.
A breakthrough in sunglass design, PeakVision Sports' innovative Dual-Zone lenses incorporate two filters into one lens, allowing golfers to clearly distinguish between the turf and the sky to create optimal visual acuity. The material used in PeakVision Sports lenses is liquid-cast and optically superior to the polycarbonate material used in most sunglass brands.
PeakVision's "See Better, Play Better" competitive advantage is enjoyed by golf professionals in every venue including the PGA TOUR, LPGA Tour, Champions Tour, Nationwide Tour, and the U.S. Pro Golf Tour. These highly competitive golfers and hundreds of caddies and weekend warriors have unequivocally embraced PeakVision Sports sunglasses as a valuable component in their equipment arsenal. Believing the eyes are the windows to the mind, renowned sports psychologist Dr. Bob Rotella has discovered significant psychological benefits of PeakVision's Dual-Zone, Zero-Distortion lens technology and recommends them to many professional athletes seeking his counsel.
PeakVision Sports is affecting a paradigm shift in which sunglasses are no longer viewed as a fashion accessory, but as an essential piece of equipment, no less important than a putter, driver or wedge.
