The 2007 Merrill Lynch Shootout will be moving to new December dates on the PGA TOUR calendar. This year's tournament will be played December 5 - 9, as the Greg Norman designed Tiburón Golf Club and The Ritz Carlton Golf Resort, Naples will once again play host to 24 of the world's greatest golfers. Complimenting the date change, the Merrill Lynch Shootout is pleased to announce its new network broadcasting partners, NBC Sports and The Golf Channel. We are thrilled to partner with these networks as they will continue to provide our national television audience with spectacular golf coverage while raising awareness for CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation.

The Greg Norman Production Company is pleased to announce a new multi year partnership with Chrysler Automotive, naming Chrysler the Official Automobile of the Merrill Lynch Shootout. In addition to their Merrill Lynch Shootout partnership, Chrysler will be calling Tiburón Golf Club's Black Course home to the 2007 Chrysler Club Championship Finals.

Fred Funk, five time participant and fan favorite of the Merrill Lynch Shootout won the inaugural Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancún, Mexico's first ever Official PGA TOUR Event. Funk defeated Jose Coceres on the second hole of a playoff to capture this historic title. Funk finished the week at 14-under par highlighted by a first round 8-under par, 62, setting the course record at the Greg Norman designed El Camaleón Golf Club, Mayakoba. With his victory, Fred became the fifth oldest winner in PGA TOUR history and just the second player to capture a TOUR event after winning on the Champions Tour. Congratulations Fred!
