AT&T National

The AT&T National, a professional golf tournament held during the Fourth of July weekend and hosted by Tiger Woods, kicked off this week.

The tournament held its annual opening ceremonies behind the 10th tee yesterday, complete with a fife-and-drum band and recognition of wounded troops who were among the dignitaries.

The program was emceed by Lance Barrow, coordinating producer of golf for CBS Sports. Speakers included singer Jon Bon Jovi and Jim Callaway, senior executive vice president, executive operations, for AT&T.

Boyz II Men sang the national anthem, and officials recognized the event's beneficiaries: the Tiger Woods Foundation; the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, and the Boys and Girls Club of Philadelphia.
