Teenage golf phenom Michelle Wie is going to play in the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open. She was granted an unrestricted sponsor exemption, giving her a spot in the field of 132 PGA Tour pros for which she would not otherwise qualify. The Open kicks off on July 28 and runs through August 3 at Montrêux Golf & Country Club in Reno. This 2008 edition of the Reno-Tahoe Open is the only PGA tour event in northern Nevada. The title sponsor is the Legends at Sparks Marina, a large entertainment and retail complex currently under construction by RED Development, LLC.

The Reno-Tahoe Open is more than just golf. Numerous sponsors will be offering a variety of activities, including the family friendly Kidz Par Tee Zone, Vino 100 Wine Walk, and a Montreux Home Tour. Learn about what's going to be happening on the What's New web page. Another way for golf fans to have fun and support a good cause is to participate in Birdies for Charity. Make a pledge and guess how many birdies the players will make during the tournament. Your donation is tax deductible and you have a shot at winning a flat screen TV and Nintendo Wii from Best Buy.

This event supports numerous charities through the non-profit Reno-Tahoe Open Foundation. You can purchase and print tickets to the Reno-Tahoe Open online or order by phone at (775)322-3900. Daily tickets can be purchased at the tournament site. If you are new to PGA golf tournament spectating, the Reno-Tahoe Open website has a good section on how to be a proper spectator.
