The tournament organization aims to make this year’s edition the most communicative ever. It recently gave the event’s official website a facelift and is targeting a youthful, media-obsessed golf generation via a Facebook page and Twitter account. All that and the usual Golf Channel TV coverage means there’ll be no shortage of updates for fans on the entire planet.

It’s Don’s third consecutive go at it. He and the other celebrity amateurs play the same course together on each day, making it easy for spectators to zero in on their favorites.
