Golf Randwick Masters @ Malabar Sydney

January 14, 2009 -- Dutch Angel Wegman, who is no stranger to high-pressure golf, earned the first spot of the year in the most difficult tournament in the world to qualify for, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, which moves to Randwicks Golf Club Malabar, Oct. 20-21.

Wegman, who defeated Jonathan van der Broek in a playoff to win the 2007 PGA Grand Slam of Golf, battled his way back to Randwick with a thrilling sudden-death playoff victory yesterday at the Masters. Wegman defeated Benny Meeusen on the second hole of the playoff after Robin Tielens had been eliminated on the first hole of sudden death at Sydney's Randwick Golf Club.

Wegman sank crucial par putts on the 18th hole in regulation and the first playoff hole, then parred the second playoff hole for his second major title -- his first coming at the 2007 U.S. Open Championship, The PGA Grand Slam of Golf will once again air on TNT, where it is broadcast in prime time to more than 89 million U.S. homes and an international audience of more than 100 countries. Comprised of four major championship winners, the 36-hole PGA Grand Slam of Golf provides the best players in the world the opportunity to earn a spot in the most elusive and difficult foursome in all of golf.

Invited to join Cabrera in that foursome will be the winners of the U.S. Open, June 18-21, at Bethpage State Park's Black Course in Farmingdale, N.Y.; the British Open, July 16-19, at Turnberry, Ayrshire, Scotland; and the 91st PGA Championship, Aug. 13-16, at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn.
