Press Release Body:

Saginaw, TX. August 05, 2008 -- International Players Tour (IPT) announces the
selection of Oakley as the "Official Eyewear" of the IPT, joining the best athletes
in the world who recognize that Oakley eyewear products provide the best optical
clarity, impact resistance, and UV protection in the industry. Under the terms of
their agreement, IPT will promote Oakley eyewear to its membership at the 200+
events across the country in 2008, including major events such as the Ted Rhodes
Classic and the 2008 Tour Championship Week later in the season. Ron Beaman, Founder
and President of IPT, voiced his excitement with the Oakley relationship,
"Partnering with Oakley is a huge step for our organization. Their recognized
leadership and endorsements in sports parallel our commitment at IPT to provide the
best playing experience for our membership. And we're indeed honored to promote
their brand in our many events across the country."

As stated on their web site - www.oakley.com - "Oakley was created for world-class
athletes, those who see the limits of possibility as just another challenge. Their
dedication drives us to look beyond the conventional ideas of industry standards.
It's in our DNA to identify problems, create inventions, and wrap those inventions
in art. And simply to make things better than anyone thought possible."

\"This agreement with the International Players Tour (IPT) is very exciting news for
the Oakley brand in golf. The Oakley brand is marketed on every professional tour
around the world with over 400 professional golfers utilizing the Oakley golf
products on the course. This opportunity to align with the International Players
Tour (IPT) - the premier Net Competition tour in the United States - creating
significant exposure for the Oakley brand at the grass roots level of golf, is one
that we could not pass up. Hopefully this partnership will only enhance what is
already a great product, the IPT.\" - Al Janc, Oakley Golf Sports Marketing.

About International Players Tour (IPT)

International Players Tour, operated by prior management of Champions Golf Tour
(CGT), was launched in January 2008 for the purpose of bringing PGA style
competition to avid golfers everywhere. Operations began in April 2002 under the
banner of the Champions Golf Tour, which was founded by Ron Beaman in the
Dallas/Ft.Worth area. Ron developed a business model that would provide avid
recreational golfers a chance to play in an environment similar to major tour events
- "inside the ropes" for significant prize money - utilizing a proprietary handicap
system.

After conducting its first event in June, 2002, CGT followed with 17 tournaments in
2002 and awarded nearly $60,000 in prize money. Significant and sustained growth has
occurred in subsequent years in player participation, number of events, and prize
money. With over 1200 players in their system, IPT management conducted over 150
events in 2007 within ten state and twelve metropolitan city areas with payouts
exceeding $570,000. In 2008, the IPT will conduct 200+ events in fifteen different
metro areas, culminating in the Tour Championship at the Horseshoe Bay Resort in
Texas, with the winner taking home $20,000 in GUARANTEED first place prize money!

"The Model that Works" is now being adopted effectively and implemented successfully
in multiple cities, with projected expansion into 5-10 new markets each year -
including international locations - through a unique licensing rights program. See
