Press release follows:

ATLANTA (May 23, 2012) ? PGA TOUR golfers at this year?s Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial will be playing for more than the traditional plaid jacket. The entire PGA TOUR field will be working even harder to shoot low scores over the weekend to support the Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts ?Charity Foursome? program, benefiting four charities ? Birdies for the Brave, Shelter In A Storm, Cook Children?s Medical Center and The First Tee of Fort Worth, Texas. During Saturday and Sunday rounds, each golf pairing will be playing for one of the four charities with IHG?s (InterContinental Hotels Group) [LON:IHG, NYSE:IHG (ADRs)] Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts brand donating $100 for every birdie and $500 for every eagle made to the pairing?s corresponding charity, up to $50,000.
?As the title sponsor, it?s important that we celebrate and build upon Colonial?s 66-year history of memorable moments in competition and a tradition of charitable giving,? said Gina LaBarre, vice president, Brand Management, the Americas, IHG. ?We?re extremely proud to be joined by this weekend?s PGA TOUR golfers in our effort to raise money for such great causes.?
To create awareness for the Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts ?Charity Foursome? program and to help fans identify the corresponding charity for each golf pairing, the players? caddies will wear one of the four charity names on their caddy bibs.
