Exclamation 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

Figure Out: What It Is-What It Would Replace

Greetings ....

Hmmmm - Looks like I stumped you all at this forum!

The mythological event is the Grand Slam Invitational - my idea of replacing the PGA Grand Slam of Golf.

And the invitational categories are ....

1. Defending Champion.

2. Winners of Grand Slam events during the current year, plus the previous nine years.

3. Players among the Top 10 and ties in any one of the four current year Grand Slam events.

4. If not otherwise eligible, any player who officially completes all 72 holes in each of
the four current year Grand Slam events.

5. If not otherwise eligible, and if needed to complete a minimum field of 50, players who were among the Top 15 and ties (but not among the Top 10 and ties) in any one of the four current year Grand Slam events. Such players will be selected in priority order of standing on the Official World Golf Rankings List published October 8, 2007.

So There!

Thanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Sport

Nothing against you Frank, but do you have a lot of extra time on your hands?
