Active military and children under 12 will be allowed in for free

"Just in case Tiger's presence and the promise of an old-style, challenging course aren't enough to make the AT&T totally fan-friendly, the tournament also will offer free admission to any person currently serving active military duty and all children under 12."

sweet- free and just up the street from my place :cool: I just hope it is not the actual 4th of July- that day is reserved for Constitution Avenue..

I was hoping they would use RTJ for the event. If the members at Congressional REFUSE this event then they are the biggest idiots alive.

Huge news. I read about this in the Post this morning. Smaller field the usual and a 1.08 millon dollar payday. This will draw more lower ranked players than the Kemper/Booz Allen tournaments did. A mini-major in DC. :applause:

here is more:

"Military members on active duty will be admitted to the tournament at no charge, and all children 12 and under also would not have to pay. Tickets will be priced at $20 a day from Tuesday to Friday of tournament week, and $25 per day on Saturday and Sunday, with a $65 weekly ticket for all six days, prices believed to be the lowest on the tour's schedule."

Tiger Woods is a real man...absolutely idolised over here...and in fact the whole world. See the reception he got in China?
