FareFinder: Thursday, January 8

Since the BCS is set to crown a college football "champion", FareFinder is offering up some sports packages that you should check out for 2009:

Green Jacket packages: Premier Sports Travel has plenty of packages, but their trips for The Masters in April are great. Starting at $2,725, you can get nearby accommodations, shuttle service to Augusta National and tickets. Just in time to see Tiger play again.

NCAA Tourney: Tickets for the first and second round games in places like Greensboro, NC, Minneapolis, MN and Miami, FL are still available for under $250 for six games. Sweet 16 and Elite Eight tickets for Glendale, AZ (West Regional) and Indianapolis, IN (Midwest Regional) can be had for as little as $90 for three games.

Scottish golf during The Open: FareFinder likes golf. But here's a truly great travel deal. PerryGolf, HQ'd in Scotland, offers an 8-night chartered cruise around the coastline of Scotland this July. During the cruise, you'll play some of the greatest courses in the world, all leading up to attending the final round of the 2009 British Open at Turnberry. Non-golfers get $1,100 off.

Run for the Roses: Mint Juleps, big hats and Millionaire's Row. The Kentucky Derby is big-time entertainment. Derby Experiences, the official travel package and hospitality provider to Churchill Downs, offers a variety of packages for the horse-racing fan -- from the basic to the absolutely luxurious.
