Billy Casper Golf to Host Third Annual 'World's Largest Golf Outing'

Event Benefits Wounded Warrior Project

(VIENNA, VA) - Billy Casper Golf - owner and operator of more than 140 golf courses, country clubs and resorts - will host the third annual "World's Largest Golf Outing" to benefit Wounded Warrior Project on August 12.

The simultaneous golf outing at more than 110 BCG-managed courses in 28 states is open to golfers of all abilities and does not require a USGA handicap.

For more information about participating courses and to register: www.worldslargestgolfouting.com.

Golfer check-in is at 11:30 a.m. (local time) with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. at most courses. Entry fees vary by location and include a $5 donation to WWP, round of golf, cart rental, range balls, lunch, awards reception, on-course contests and prizes.

Golfers are encouraged to Tweet @BillyCasperGolf using #WLGO with photos and updates during or after the day.

Part of the event proceeds and all donations from non-players benefit WWP, the national, nonpartisan organization that honors and empowers Wounded Warriors, some of whom will play in the World's Largest Golf Outing. Teams are encouraged to raise additional funds to support this worthy cause.

Last year, BCG hosted more than 7,800 golfers at 100 of its golf courses in 24 states during the second annual "World's Largest Golf Outing," raising more than $400,000 for WWP. Launched in 2011, the 2012 event saw player registration and fundraising grew by 250% and 700%, respectively.

"We set the bar very high in 2012, but are committed to build on the generous donations golfers made to Wounded Warrior Project," says Peter Hill, Chairman and CEO of BCG. "Golfers and Wounded Warriors who played the first two events gave it rave reviews and we expect the same this time around."

"Each year this ground-breaking outing gets bigger and better, providing a healthy physical activity for Wounded Warriors and raising funds for WWP programs," says Adam Silva, Chief Development Officer of Wounded Warrior Project. "Participating in sports helps injured service members restore their physical and emotional well-being."

The mission of the Wounded Warrior Project is to honor and empower Wounded Warriors. WWP's purpose is to raise awareness and to enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members, to help injured servicemen and women aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and service to meet their needs. WWP is a national, nonpartisan organization headquartered in Jacksonville, FL. To get involved and learn more, visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org.
