The PGA Grand Slam of Golf boasts the toughest entry requirements in golf: to qualify, you must win one of the four major championships. The PGA Grand Slam brings the year's major winners together for a two-day, 36-hole stroke-play competition with a $1 million purse aired in prime time. The event was created in 1979, and was played at venues ranging from Oak Hill to Kemper Lakes before settling in at the Poipu Bay Golf Course on the Hawaiian island of Kauai in 1994.
The PGA Grand Slam of Golf is the most difficult golf competition in the world in which to gain entry. Each year, The PGA of America invites the winners of the four major championships--The Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, and The PGA Championship--to compete in the event. Last year's participants were Tiger Woods (the defending champion), Rich Beem, Justin Leonard and Davis Love III. In recent years, the championship has included such golf notables as David Duval, Retief Goosen, David Toms, Vijay Singh, Tom Lehman, Paul Azinger, Paul Lawrie, Jose Maria Olazabal, Ernie Els, Lee Janzen, Mark O'Meara, and Greg Norman.
The PGA Grand Slam of Golf is a 36-hole stroke-play event conducted over two days, featuring a purse of $1,000,000. The 2003 PGA Grand Slam of Golf will kick off with a Pro Am on December 4. The elite foursome will begin first round play on December 5, continuing December 6 with final round play. |
