WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) - The Greenbrier Classic's free ticket giveaway has prompted officials to look for more volunteers to help this year's golf tournament run smoothly.

Greenbrier owner Jim Justice says in a news release he'll hold a drawing in which one volunteer will win $20,000 at the end of the tournament.

The tournament is the week of July 4 in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Earlier this month, Justice announced that fans will get in for free.

Volunteers will receive a tournament shirt and other items, including meal vouchers. They can choose between a free round of golf or a spa treatment.

Volunteers working four to seven shifts will get a one-night stay at the resort. Those with eight or more shifts will get a round of golf for two and a two-night stay.
