Six Lucky Winners to Cover Opening Ceremonies and March in the Parade with Willie
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC – Friday, Mar. 9, 2012 – Opening Ceremonies for the 44th Annual RBC Heritage PGA TOUR Golf Tournament is just about a month away, so too is the infamous parade marching up to Calibogue Sound kicking off the festivities. As if the excitement could be heightened any more, the Heritage Classic Foundation is making it a bit more plaid for six lucky fans to be PGA TOUR social media reporters and cover Opening Ceremonies at the RBC Heritage.
From Monday, March 12 to Monday, March 26, the Heritage Classic Foundation’s, “So You Want to be a PGA TOUR Reporter” social media contest is open to RBC Heritage fans for their shot to cover Opening Ceremonies via social media. To enter, individuals must send Willie a message via Facebook: Willlie on Facebook or Twitter: Willie on Twitter telling him what they’re proud of – essence and heritage, of the RBC Heritage. Photos are welcomed and encouraged. Entrants must be social media savvy, have remote capabilities (smartphone/iPad) the ability to be at Opening Ceremonies, and willingness to be social media reporters on site.
“The RBC Heritage is a true community event and revered as a holiday on Hilton Head Island,” said Steve Wilmot, tournament director of South Carolina’s only PGA TOUR event. “We want the world to know the importance of the RBC Heritage and this is a great way to share that message. This is just one more way we can give back to the community for the support and dedication shown for the tournament. It’s a win-win for us to showcase the 44th Annual RBC Heritage and give the greatest fans access to one of the best days on Hilton Head Island, Opening Ceremonies.”
The top six entries will be selected to attend the RBC Heritage Opening Ceremonies as official RBC Heritage VIP’s. The PGA TOUR reporters will march in the parade, and share the plaid shot heard around the Sound as defending champion, Brandt Snedeker hits the tee shot toward Calibogue Sound and the ceremonial cannon fires to officially open the tournament on Monday, April 9.
