DOVER TWP. - Fred Couples, a former Masters champion and a two-time PGA TOUR Player of the Year, will return to the Treetops Resort to defend his title at the Tylenol Par-3 Shootout on Monday and Tuesday, June 30-July 1. Couples will face the fourth-ranked player in the world, Phil Mickelson; 2001 champion and $1 million hole-in-one winner Lee Trevino; and two-time major championship winner Fuzzy Zoeller at the spectacular Par-3 Threetops Course.
The event will be televised by ESPN on June 30 from 10 p.m.- midnight, and July 1 from 8-10 p.m.
The purse for the 18-hole tournament is $540,000 and an additional $1 million bonus is available for every hole-in-one. Each hole is worth $20,000, with a $10,000 bonus for the player hitting his shot closest to the pin. If the hole is not won, the money carries over to the next hole.
