There is an intermission event on the PGA between the last two Fall Series tournaments. The winners of all four majors in 2011 will hit the greens tomorrow at the Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda to determine who’s the Champion of Champions in the 36-hole PGA Grand Slam of Golf.

In its 29th edition, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, will feature 2011 major winners Charl Schwartzel (Masters), Rory McIlroy (US Open), Darren Clarke (British Open) and Keegan Bradley (PGA Championship).

The prize fund for this year's event will be $1.35 million, with $600,000 going to the winner; $300,000 for second place; $250,000 for third place and $200,000 for fourth place.

Not bad for a two-day event—in Bermuda—in which your chances to win the big prize are one-in-four, and which for basically playing the 36 holes, you get $200K.

Of course, getting here is no easy task. You must win a major, or—if one of the major winners declines to participate—be the next in line with the best finishes on them, in order to get the invitation. We all saw their remarkable performances and feel-good stories, as they achieved their respective major wins this year.

Schwartzel's unbelievable last four holes birdie-stretch to finish the Masters; McIlroy's record setting, demolition derby at the US Open; Clarke's solid and steady play on adverse conditions at the Open and Bradley's five-shot swing comeback with three holes to play.

Four new faces atop the major wins, and all of them will be showing off their skills at the breathtaking Royal Port Course.



The Par-71, 6852 yards course, was designed by Robert Trent Jones. It was opened in 1970 and renovated in 2009.The longest hole is the par-five, 567 yards second hole, and the shortest is right after, the par-three 148 yard third hole.

While it might be a setting of a vacation golf course, it will not be an easy task to play on it. ...
