EDS
Announces a PGA TOUR
"First" |
|
|
|
 EDS
announced today it will award a custom motorcycle built by
renowned Orange County Choppers, Inc. to the winner of the
2007 EDS Byron Nelson Championship. Ron Rittenmeyer, president
and chief operating officer of EDS, is pictured left with Paul
Sr. and Paul Jr. of Orange County Choppers.
Orange
County Choppers, one of the world’s premier builders of custom
motorcycles, is building two additional identical choppers.
EDS will donate one of the choppers to an online auction to
benefit Salesmanship Club Youth and Family
Centers
and the third chopper will be retained by EDS and used to
raise awareness of the EDS Byron Nelson Championship and the
charity it supports.
Paul Teutul and his sons are the
creative force behind Orange County Choppers and the stars of
one of cable television’s leading reality series, The Learning
Channel’s (TLC) “American Chopper." The process behind the
building of the EDS Byron Nelson Championship motorcycle will
be featured on two May episodes of “American Chopper."
The 30-day build process for the motorcycles is
expected to be completed at Orange County Choppers’ facility
by mid-April, and the three bikes will be unveiled on the
number one tee box at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship during
the Pro-Am on Wednesday, April 25.
Information
regarding the chopper auction is available at
