Pretty cool! Can't wait to see it in the states!
20 Golfers, 5 Teams, 72 Holes.
Imagine playing golf at a world-class venue, in front of a national television audience, for a chance to win $1,000,000. Well that is exactly what 20 very lucky individuals will do, using their full handicap, over a seven-week period.
The WGL Million Dollar Shootout hosted by the ever-popular John O'Hurley ("Seinfeld" and "Dancing with the Stars") will pit five teams in a scramble format with the winning team walking away with a cool $1,000,000. Teams will be made up of four players each. The team handicaps will consist of an “A” player (Lowest Handicap), “B” Player (Next Lowest), “C” Player (Third Lowest) and “D” Player (Highest). Each team will consist of two local heroes’ as selected by the American Red Cross. The hero’s will come from the military and/or the local community. The other two players will come from all walks of life and represent a cross-demographic of the golf population.
In addition, the teams will get to call on celebrity Pro lifelines to hit a shot for them every six holes. The celebrities will include PGA Tour Star and 2005 Tournament Players Champion Fred Funk, LPGA Star Carin Koch and the Golf Channel’s Big Break II star Don Donitello.
