    "Golf is a favorite pastime of many Honda owners, and the Honda Classic
has become a highly anticipated stop on the PGA Tour," said Dick Colliver,
executive vice president of sales for American Honda. "Bringing Honda
vehicles to PGA National Resort & Spa full-time offers the perfect
opportunity to build upon Honda's already great golfing legacy."

    The three-year agreement with PGA National Resort & Spa includes
provisions for on-site displays of Honda vehicles, consumer-based
promotions associated with Honda, advertising on in-room TV channels and
renaming of select resort venues. This includes the new outdoor pavilion
(now called the "Honda Pavilion") which overlooks the 18th hole of the
Championship Course.

    Boasting a new multi-million dollar renovation, world-class European
spa, five championship golf courses, seven spectacular restaurants and
lounges and a wide array of meeting and event facilities, PGA National
Resort & Spa is home to the Honda Classic golf tournament. It's a retreat
that provides leisure and business travelers with experiences both exciting
and memorable.
