Eagles For Education to Boost Education Nonprofit Benefits

Chevron will donate $12,500 to the tournament's nonprofit partners for every eagle scored during the first day of tournament play as part of its Eagles For Education program. Chevron will double the donation amount for every day of play from $25,000 on Friday to $50,000 on Saturday and through the championship round on Sunday, December 4 when each eagle will be worth $100,000. Last year's Eagles For Education competition raised an additional $530,000 dollars for the nonprofit partners.

Competition is expected to be fierce. This year's tournament once again includes a world-class field, with the possibility of low scores and plenty of birdies and eagles to spur friendly rivalry. Thousands of students will benefit from this thrilling match play, as the five nonprofit beneficiaries see their donations climb as the pros battle on the course.

Updates on the program will be issued regularly through the following:
