Figure Out: What It Is-What It Would Replace
Greetings ....
Yours truly has conjured up a mythological event that is "scheduled for play" beginning in 2007.
Said mythological event ....
• Replaces an existing "exhibition" event
• Has a field of at least 50 pros
• Conducted over 72 holes
• Not necessarily an official event on the PGA Tour or any other tour
• It's a $7,000,000 event. Winner gets $1,260,000. 50th place gets $42,000.
For the moment I'm not revealing all of the invitational criteria I use. I would first like you to try and guess the categories on your own. One category is fairly obvious, and it provides a clue as to what the other categories are.
The field, as per the invitational criteria, is as follows ....
1 - Defending Champion. None, as this is the inaugural edition.
2 - Zach Johnson, Angel Cabrera, Padraig Harrington, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Geoff Ogilvy, Michael Campbell, Retief Goosen, Todd Hamilton, Vijay Singh, Mike Weir, Jim Furyk, Ben Curtis, Shaun Micheel, Ernie Els, Rich Beem, David Duval, David Toms, Jose-Maria Olazabal, Paul Lawrie ** , Mark O'Meara **, Lee Janzen
** = players elected not to compete
3 - Rory Sabbatini, Justin Rose, Jerry Kelly, Stuart Appleby, Vaughn Taylor, Luke Donald, Paul Casey, Niclas Fasth, Bubba Watson, Nick Dougherty, Scott Verplank, Stephen Ames, Sergio Garcia, Andres Romero, Richard Green, Stewart Cink, Hunter Mahan, KJ Choi, Steve Stricker, Woody Austin, Aaron Oberholser, John Senden, Simon Dyson, Trevor Immelman, Kevin Sutherland, Boo Weekley
4 - Lee Westwood
5 - "If needed to complete minimum field of 50..." - Adam Scott (6), Aaron Baddeley (19), Ian Poulter (28)
#'s in parenthesis as of October 7th 2007
Thanx-A-Lot and Happy Guessing from Frank-0-Sport
