The PGA Grand Slam of Golf event is one of the hardest golf tournaments to qualify for and only major champions can even try. The PGA Grand Slam of Golf is a championship game between four chosen professional players. To be included in this foursome, a player must be the cream of the crop. Starting in 1979, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf was just an ordinary 18 hole round. Over the years, however, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf has turned into quite the prestigious game including 36 holes. This tournament has become the biggest showdown between the best pro players ever, and the purse certainly matches the skill.

In 1998, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf changed from stroke play to match play, spicing things up for two years before changing back to stroke play in 2000. Bermuda is the home of the Port Royal Golf Course where the PGA Grand Slam of Golf is held, this being the course of choice just since 2009. Before that, the championships were played at the Mid Ocean Club. The winner of this tournament is the champion of champions. The trophy that is awarded is adorned with five crystals that stand for each championship, the largest one signifying the PGA Grand Slam of Golf win. The winner's name is engraved as well.

The Port Royal Club, first opened in 1970 for play, has recently undergone renovations and was reopened in January 2009. The PGA Grand Slam of Golf has a winner's purse of $1.35 million dollars. The four players chosen to play are truly an elite group. The tournament is also televised world wide, so the day of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf is going to be one big event for quite a few folks.

Watching these pros avoid that big water hazard will have you holding your breath.
