For the second consecutive year, the island of Bermuda will host one of the most exclusive golf tournament, receiving the winners of the four major tournaments in the sport: Master, USA Open, PGA Championship and British Open. The best golfers in the world will face in the PGA Grand Slam, 36 all stroke play event with a price 1.35 million.
The tournament, which began in 1979 has been organized in New York, Minnesota, Florida, Illinois, California and Hawaii, where he eventually held during the last 12 years before moving outside the U.S. at Mid Ocean Club on the island of Bermuda last year.
Because sports play an integral role in the development of the country, golfers Island of Bermuda and its business community, particularly renowned as a dream destination, are obviously motivated by the PGA Grand Slam of Golf to be held in his country in 2008. However, the selection is definitely not casual, the field Mid Ocean Club in Bermuda has been classified in the position # 45 by Golf Digest for courses outside the United States and the Grand Slam last year was more than successful.
The tournament is considered one of the most important in golf and is televised to a worldwide audience (100 countries) on TNT and Golf Channel, which means an economic boost to the host country. In fact, this winner year (Angel Cabrera) received $ 600,000, while second, third and fourth place received $ 300,000, $ 250,000, $ 200,000, respectively. However, the prize money does not count toward the money list on the PGA Tour.
Getting a place at the Grand Slam is not an easy task. The field is generally reserved for four years of great champions. Past winners include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Ernie Els, Tom Lehman, Ben Crenshaw, Greg Norman, Nick Price and Ian Woosnam.
The famous Tiger Woods, seven-time Grand Slam winner, to be absent from this year's tournament due to the recent birth of his daughter. Even thought, the event attracted nearly 7,000 golfers. Hopefully, we'll all be able to see the star of golf next year at Mid Ocean Club. However, Bermuda is now set as a class golf destination worldwide, and the dream to grow through sport seems to become reality for the Island
