2008 CA Championship Grabs Global Golf Spotlight.

Aussie Geoff Ogilvy and CA Put On Show at World Golf Championships Event at Doral

MIAMI -- Mother Nature couldn't dampen the spirits and excitement surrounding the second year of CA's title sponsorship of the 2008 CA Championship at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Doral, Fla. nor could she slow down Australian Geoff Ogilvy's march to the Gene Sarazen Trophy. In front of record crowds, Ogilvy battled the stormy weather of South Florida, along with the world's best golfers and the Blue Monster, one of the toughest courses on the PGA TOUR schedule, on his way to capturing the year's second World Golf Championships event.

"The 2008 CA Championship was a showcase for the game of golf and a tremendous platform for CA to share its passion for the sport with its customers and the South Florida community," said Bill Hughes, CA's senior vice president of Corporate Communications. "Importantly, golf fans from around the world enjoyed the CA Championship as it was broadcast in more than 200 countries and reached approximately 550 million households worldwide."

For the first time in the 10-year history of the World Golf Championships, an event was forced to finish on a Monday as severe weather delays over the weekend prevented the completion of the final round as scheduled. That didn't stop the International Federation of PGA Tours and CA, one of the world's largest enterprise IT management software companies, from treating golf fans from around the globe to a world-class event.

In front of huge galleries with an international flavor, Ogilvy shot 17 under at Doral to finish one stroke ahead of two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, three-time major champion Vijay Singh and 2003 U.S. Open winner, Jim Furyk. The victory was his second career World Golf Championships (WGC) win and moved him along side Tiger Woods (15) and Darren Clarke (2) as the only players to win multiple WGC events. Ogilvy's victory skyrocketed him in the FedExCup points standings from 79th to 10th place and moved him from 17th to 10th in the Official World Gold Ranking. In addition, Ogilvy's win on the Blue Monster snapped Woods' PGA TOUR win streak at five, as well as Woods' CA Championship streak at three (Woods has won six total).

The tournament also enabled CA to execute several charitable initiatives aimed toward making a difference in the lives of children and enriching their love for the game of golf. CA hosted a special golf clinic for 10 young, aspiring golfers from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami to meet and learn the game from CA-sponsored golfer Retief Goosen. The Company also successfully launched its inaugural CA Course Reporters program in which four kids from The First Tee and Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami served as the eyes and ears of the CA Championship for young golf fans and shared their experiences through their own blog at www.WorldGolfChampionships.com.

"The CA Championship offers the opportunity for us to extend our efforts in giving back to the communities in which we live and work," Hughes continued. "The Boys & Girls Clubs and First Tee are important charities for CA and we are extremely pleased with the results of our CA Course Reporter program and proud of its participants."

CA Course Reporter Philip Spano said, "I had the unique opportunity to experience what goes on behind the scenes of a major golf tournament. I learned so much and had such an incredible time!"

CA also made a series of donations including six sets of SNAG (Starting New at Golf) equipment to the local Boys & Girls Clubs in support of their growing golf programs. This donation is an extension of CA's current three-year, $4.6 million donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America that helped launch their National Information Technology Security Program. CA donated a total of 200 Championship Club tickets to the South Florida Golf Foundation (SFGF), the Boys & Girls of Miami and The First Tee Miami for each day of tournament play. These offerings continued to drive home CA's company values rooted in giving back to the community, and strengthen its presence in the South Florida area. In addition, CA has again partnered with the SFGF and will donate the proceeds of the tournament.

CA, Inc. is in its third year as an overall sponsor and its second as a global umbrella sponsor of the World Golf Championships. Its title sponsorship of the CA Championship is the centerpiece of a fully-integrated marketing and sponsorship program designed to leverage CA's visibility among its customers. The global golf marketing strategy also includes broadcast media, brand visibility, customer hospitality and other partnership opportunities.
