Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. -- Kodak and the PGA TOUR today announced that hole No. 13 at The McGladrey Classic on Oct. 7-10 has been added to the 2010 Kodak Challenge schedule. No. 13 at the Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club in Sea Island, Ga. was selected based on the recommendation of tournament host Davis Love III. The McGladrey Classic will be the 27th of 30 holes in the $1 million Kodak Challenge competition. Rickie Fowler currently leads the Kodak Challenge.

"Basically unchanged since its original design in 1920, No. 13 at the Seaside Course is a classic par-4, as beautiful as it is challenging," said Love. "For this reason, it fits perfectly into the Kodak Challenge. The late season action of the Kodak Challenge looks to be exciting again this year, and we're pleased that the players and fans of The McGladrey Classic can be a part of it."

The Kodak Challenge celebrates beautiful holes and memorable moments on the PGA TOUR and challenges players to perform their best on 30 designated Kodak Challenge holes. They must play at least 18 of the 30 designated Kodak Challenge holes. The player with the lowest cumulative score on his best 18 Kodak Challenge holes will win $1 million. The Kodak Challenge concludes on No. 17 at the Children's Miracle Network Classic on November 11-14. The McGladrey Classic joins the Kodak Challenge at a highly competitive juncture. Fifteen PGA TOUR players are currently within three strokes of Fowler, and another 18 sit four shots back.

According to Steve Powell, director of program development for the Kodak Challenge, The McGladrey Classic is a great addition to the final chapter of the Kodak Challenge season. "No. 13 at The McGladrey Classic brings added excitement to the final stretch of the Kodak Challenge, as it gives pros a challenging, yet viable scoring opportunity. With just seven holes to go and more than 30 TOUR players within striking distance of our leader, our Kodak Challenge hole at Sea Island is sure to deliver some great action," Powell commented.
