BOLINGBROOK, Ill., July 25, 2007 –The 2007 Tom Dreesen Celebrity Invitational, a highlight on the Celebrity Players Tour, will make its fifth consecutive run in Chicago's western suburbs at the nationally acclaimed Bolingbrook Golf Club. A star-studded lineup, showcasing many of the most popular names in sports, television, film and music, are gearing up for what has become one of the Midwest's premier celebrity golf events and the exclusive Chicago stop on the Celebrity Players Tour.
