Trump and the World of Sports

Donald Trump seems to be a winner in every aspect of his life. From business to reality shows, he has managed to make millions from everything including the great sport of golf. The Trump Million Dollar Invitational is yet another sporting event that Donald is sponsoring and it has managed to make its way to the 2006 US Pro Golf Tour. Greens Worldwide Incorporated announced today that it has entered into an agreement with the officials of the Trump Million Dollar Invitational presented by TaylorMade for the event to become a co-sanctioned event on the 2006 US Pro Golf Tour.

The top ten Tour Card members on the US Pro Golf Tour money list after the first two events on the 2006 Tour will be exempt from qualifying and will be fully sponsored into the event. The Tour also reserved up to an additional ten playing positions for its tour card members. As a result of the co-sanctioned status of the event, GRWW has committed to sponsor its qualifying players into the event with all expenses paid. The winner of this event could take home a $1,000,000 first prize.

.The event is a three-day, 54-hole stroke play competition without the benefit of handicap. The players with the ten lowest scores will advance to the Grand Prize Matches on May 26, 2006. Ties in the 54-hole tournament will be broken by a playoff at the Trump International Golf Club and will continue until there are ten players left that will move on to the Grand Prize Match. The ten Grand Prize Match finalists will compete in a nine-hole playoff where one player will be eliminated on each hole until there are only two players left, who will then play the final hole for the Grand Prize.
