Greens Worldwide Incorporated: Olympic Gold Medalist Ed Moses To Compete On 2006 Tour

HERTFORD, N.C. (EWORLDWIRE) Feb 28, 2006

Greens Worldwide Incorporated today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, US Pro Golf Tour, Inc. has received an application from Ed Moses, a Gold and Silver Medalist at the 2000 Olympics and has been granted a full exemption for the 2006 Tour. Moses will play as a Pro-Championship player in 2006 tour events.

Moses won Gold in the 400m Medley Relay and Silver in the 100m breast at the 2000 Olympics, helping the United States to a world record. He is the former world record holder in the 100m breaststroke. In 2002, Moses broke three short course world records over two days, the first American to do so. He owns 11 US National titles and had 13 world records in five years. Moses was the first man to break one minute in the breaststroke relay split as part of the world record-breaking 400m medley relay at the 2000 Olympics. Moses has always had the dream of pursuing a career as a professional golfer, and the Tour welcomes Moses as a competitor on the 2006 Tour.

The Tour has granted 160 professionals full tour card exempt status for the 2006 Tour.

“I decided to play the US Pro Golf Tour to help launch my career with the large tours, using the US Pro Golf Tour as a trampoline while I work towards achieving my goals," said Moses. "The large purses and big lights are a good parallel as I work towards the big tours."

“We are privileged to have an athlete with the credentials Ed Moses brings to the US Pro Golf Tour joining us as a Celebrity," said Robert A. Marshburn, senior vice president of the US Pro Golf Tour. "Having played golf in high school and choosing to play golf again since his retirement from competitive swimming in April 2005, for the first time since a successful high school golfing career, we are fortunate to have Ed compete on the US Pro Golf Tour as his springboard to hopefully achieve his aspirations of playing at a higher level on the big tours."
