America Online to Feature Live Coverage from the 2005 and 2006 British Open and PGA Championships.

DULLES, Va. -- Tomorrow's Coverage Includes Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia and More

With the 2005 British Open Championship beginning tomorrow, AOL members will be able to follow select players live through the first two rounds, America Online announced today. The coverage is part of a partnership with Turner Sports Interactive, a division of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (TBS), to feature live coverage of select players during the first two rounds of the Open Championship for the next two years, as well as live coverage from the 2005 and 2006 PGA Championship. AOL also will make one hour of the British Open this year and four hours of the PGA Championship for both years available free on the Web at the AOL.com(R) site.

For this year's British Open, being played at the famed St Andrews Old Course, AOL will offer coverage of Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia and others on Thursday, with shot-by-shot analysis. Replays of this video content will also be available on demand. For the 2006 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, AOL will stream the first two rounds of the game's top players, whose names will be announced after the pairings are determined next year. The complete coverage is available to AOL members at AOL Keyword: Golf through the AOL service or the AOL.com site.

"We are pleased to work with Turner Sports Interactive and offer our members and those on the Web live video from two of the biggest golf championships of the year," said Carlos Silva, senior vice president, AOL(R) News and Sports. "This is another example of how we are providing our members with the most comprehensive and compelling sports content available on the Internet and helps extend AOL's leadership in multimedia online sports offerings. With our diverse and rich programming, AOL Sports has become a premier destination for sports and entertainment fans."

The new agreement marks the third consecutive year AOL and Turner Sports Interactive have partnered to provide extensive online coverage of the two major championship golf tournaments. The partnership is conducted in agreement with The R&A, St Andrews and PGA.com.

"We are proud to extend our sports partnership with AOL by continuing to provide their users with the most extensive and up-to-the-minute coverage from both the British Open and PGA Championship tournaments," said Dennis Quinn, executive vice president, business development, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. "The renewal of this agreement enhances our relationship by providing additional features for AOL.com users and it continues to build on our existing relationship across all Turner Network brands, including CNN, Cartoon Network and TNT."

During the PGA Championship at the Baltusrol Golf Club in New Jersey next month, AOL members will have access to live video coverage of select par three holes. Two live camera feeds will be offered on each of the holes. A stationary camera will be positioned around the tee box of each hole, with the view looking behind the players. A second camera will be stationed on a tower near the hole, zooming in and out for each tee shot and giving viewers a firsthand look at any holes-in-one. The broadband feed will switch back and forth between the holes depending on action at each hole. AOL will offer the same coverage for the 2006 tournament.

"Major championship golf is one of the most exciting sports competitions on television," said Drew Reifenberger, executive vice president and general manager of Turner Sports Interactive. "This year's broadband coverage on the AOL service will give golf fans inside-the-ropes access and the ability to consume more of the dramatic championship competition as it unfolds."

In addition to the live coverage, AOL will offer live audio of all rounds from each tournament, preview and review years tournament and upcoming tournaments and recap shows, mid- and end-of-day highlights of each days rounds, up to 10 additional video clips covering highlights, press interviews and other events on the AOL.com site and on the AOL service.
