Headline: Vijay Singh Wins for Charity...Proceeds Go to the MGA's ForeKids Golf Program

Norton, MA – Vijay Singh was named the Crestor Charity Challenge winner for his first-place standing entering the final round of Deutsche Bank Championship. Singh fired a 3-under 68 on Sunday to open a three-shot lead at the 54-hole mark.

For Singh's performance, AstraZeneca, on behalf of its Crestor product, will donate $50,000 to the MGA ForeKids in Singh's name. An additional $50,000 will also be donated to the health-care charity of his choice.

"We are grateful and honored for the generous support of the Deutsche Bank Championship and AstraZeneca," said Tom Landry, executive director of the Massachusetts Golf Association. "As a beneficiary of the CRESTOR Charity Challenge, we will be able to expand the offerings of our ForeKids Golf Program and thus provide the underprivileged youth of our state an opportunity to develop, through golf and character education, life-enhancing values such as honesty, integrity and sportsmanship."

The Crestor Charity Challenge is a season-long weekly competition that recognizes the tournament leader entering the final round at most PGA TOUR events throughout the year. Through this first-of-its kind program, AstraZeneca and its CRESTOR product will donate approximately $3 million a year to designated health care and PGA TOUR charities. At each of the selected tournaments, a $100,000 contribution will be made.

"Giving back is at the heart of the PGA TOUR and AstraZeneca is pleased to be able to support this by offering health education and recognizing local communities through the CRESTOR® Charity Challenge," said Tony Zook, senior vice president, commercial operations, AstraZeneca U.S. "The Crestor Charity Challenge will not only add an exciting new twist to the PGA TOUR, it will also help the TOUR reach its milestone of $1 billion in charitable donations within the next few years."

Crestor Charity Challenge winners will be recognized during the network or cable telecast of each tournament. In addition, AstraZeneca and CRESTOR will sponsor the PGA TOUR year-end charity special, which is scheduled to air December 18 on ABC.
