CASTLE ROCK, CO--- U.S. Open Champion Geoff Ogilvy tops the list of five previous TOUR winners announced today as participants in the 2006 INTERNATIONAL at Castle Pines Golf Club, August 7-13.  The others on the list are Chris DiMarco, Charles Howell, III, and first time TOUR winners Aaron Baddeley and Carl Pettersson.
 "We've always known that Geoff was a superstar in the making, and his win at the U.S. Open confirms our beliefs," said Tournament Director Larry O. Thiel.  "We look forward to having him back at Castle Pines in August," he added.  
 Ogilvy survived a field that included the game's best players and a grueling set-up at storied Winged Foot Golf Course to win his first major at the U.S. Open Sunday.  The win, worth $1,225,000, was the second of the year for the young Australian, his first coming at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in February.  He is currently ranked second on the PGA TOUR Money list, having earned $3,919,394 to date.   
 Ogilvy has played at The INTERNATIONAL four times in his career.  Each time, he has made it to Sunday's final round and has earned a total of 64 points and $263,175 here.
 This will be DiMarco's tenth appearance at Castle Pines.  In all, he has earned 173 points and $711,299.  Howell has played in five INTERNATIONALs earning 100 points and $497,750 over the years.  Baddelely has not fared well in the three Tournaments he has played at Castle Pines, earning -6 points but managing to earn $29,500.  Swedish-born Pettersson has played in two INTERNATIONALs earning a career total of 31 points and $83,775.
