PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.-- In the first year of a new tradition, immediately following THE PLAYERS Championship closing ceremony on the TPC Clubhouse event lawn on Sunday, May 13, internationally-renowned musician and avid golfer Kenny G will perform a salute to the 2007 PLAYERS champion.

"It's a year of firsts for THE PLAYERS, and we looked for opportunities to enhance the Closing Ceremony to give guests a special finale to the tournament," said Executive Director Brian Goin. "We hope the crowning of a new champion coupled with a musical performance by Kenny G will be an ideal conclusion to a very special PLAYERS Championship on Mother's Day."

"Standing room only" space on the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse lawn for the closing ceremony is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. The closing ceremony will be open to all Clubhouse badge holders and a limited number of passes will be available to Grounds badge holders through the tournament's information kiosks, beginning at noon on Sunday. The Clubhouse lawn will open at 6 p.m. on Sunday.

The Grammy Award-winning artist, known for his smooth jazz sound on the saxophone, plays golf regularly and sports a near-scratch handicap. His latest album, "I'm In The Mood For Love ... The Most Romantic Melodies Of All Time" is currently on sale, and he has tour dates scheduled through September 2007. He has participated in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am tournament seven times, and in December 2006, Golf Digest named him the No. 1 musician golfer in its "Top 100 in Music" list
