Posted on: Monday, 17 August 2009, 06:45 CDT

ATLANTA, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Millions of sports fans participate in fantasy leagues every year. With the introduction of FLOPSHOTS.com (http://www.flopshots.com), a new licensee of the PGA TOUR and Collegiate Images, avid sports fans now can realize their sports fantasies in a very unique and different way. FLOPSHOTS.com allows the average fan to become the star of his or her favorite team through its unique personalization of authentic sports photos.

"As passionate fans and players alike, we all fantasize how it might feel to catch a winning touchdown for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish or beat the PGA TOUR'S best at THE PLAYERS Championship," says Tom Meyers, co-founder of FLOPSHOTS.com. "At FLOPSHOTS.com, we strive to package your sports 'fantasy' by personalizing authentic sports images in unique, compelling, and affordable ways. Every day, we work hard to develop products that connect fans on an emotional level with the sports they love."

While on the FLOPSHOTS.com website, sports fans can select from a wide variety of authentic sports images, type in their name or message, and then see a chosen image magically transformed into a new image that incorporates their name or message. A PGA TOUR fan can create an image that puts his name on top of a leader board with the TOUR's greatest players.

"We are thrilled to have formed a new licensing partnership with FLOPSHOTS," says Tim Hawes, Senior Vice President of Retail Licensing for the PGA TOUR. "This innovative new product allows our fans to get inside the game and experience firsthand the thrill of the game's great moments."

An avid college football fan can put his name on the back of a jersey or see it engraved on a trophy from one of the bowl championship games. The engaging and technologically advanced website can even show a fan's name spelled out by a marching band down on the football field. On http://www.flopshots.com, these personalized sports photos can be purchased in a variety of forms, from framed prints to poster-size prints to digital downloads.

While the company strives to help sports fans realize their sports dreams, it also tries to help another dream come true, that of legendary basketball coach Jim Valvano. For every personalized sports photo purchased on FLOPSHOTS.com, the company donates dollars to The V Foundation for Cancer Research in support of their efforts to find a cure for cancer. "Jimmy V urged everyone to enjoy their lives, to spend each day getting their emotions going, and to keep their dreams alive," states Dave Nies, co-founder of FLOPSHOTS.com. "In addition to supporting The V Foundation with donations from every order, we strive to create and deliver a unique product that invokes emotion and stirs the passion that lives inside every avid sports fan."
