PLANO, Texas, April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EDS and Orange County Choppers (OCC), one of the world's premier builders of custom motorcycles, today unveiled three EDS Byron Nelson Championship-themed motorcycles at the TPC Four Seasons Resort Las Colinas in Irving, Texas, the home of the 2007 EDS Byron Nelson Championship.

The world-famous Teutuls -- Paul Sr., Paul Jr. and Mikey -- the creative forces behind OCC and stars of the international hit television show, "American Chopper," built three identical choppers for EDS.

EDS will award one of the motorcycles to the winner of the 2007 EDS Byron Nelson Championship, the first time in PGA TOUR history that a custom "chopper" has been awarded to a tournament winner. EDS will donate one of the custom motorcycles to an online auction to benefit Salesmanship Club Youth and Family Centers, the children's charity associated with the tournament. The third chopper will be retained by EDS and used to raise awareness of the EDS Byron Nelson Championship and the charity it supports.

In addition to the motorcycle auction, EDS will auction a customized Ultimate Golf Ball Frenzy pinball machine, which has an OCC theme and will be autographed by the Teutuls and PGA TOUR players participating in the 2007 EDS Byron Nelson Championship.

EDS will donate all proceeds from the online auctions to Salesmanship Club Youth and Family Centers.

"We asked the Teutuls to design a motorcycle that would generate attention for the tournament and honor the legacy of Byron Nelson," said Ron Rittenmeyer, president and chief operating officer of EDS. "We are thrilled with the end-product and anticipate the auction bike will raise a considerable amount of money for Salesmanship Club Youth and Family Centers."

The auctions go live today, April 25 at 7:00 p.m. CDT and close Wednesday, May 2 at 7:00 p.m. CDT. For more information, or to place a bid on these unique auction items, visit http://www.eds.com/auction .
