Cristie Kerr Will Play "The Ultimate Game"

Remember "The Ultimate Game"? That high-stakes, buy-in tournament in Las Vegas earlier this year? It got a lot of play this year because it served as the professional debuts for the teenage Finau brothers, Gipper and Tony.

It was a $50,000 buy-in tournament, with $2 million going to the winner. The Ultimate Game had grown out of a previous Las Vegas tournament called The Big Stakes Match Play Golf Tournament, one that had a $100,000 per 2-man team buy-in.

In 2008, The Ultimate Game is returning to a 2-person team format, and it has snagged a very high-profile team: Cristie Kerr and Jim McLean will play as a team - eaching paying $22,500 (the team entry fee is $45,000 now, going up to $50K closer to tournament time) - in the March 6-11 event at PGA West in La Quinta, Calif.

The Ultimate Game has been rescheduled http://www.theultimategame.com/press...ESCHEDULED.pdf and now conflicts with a LPGA tour event, SemGroup Championship Presented by John Q. Hammons

The question now is, will Cristie Kerr play in The Ultimate Game or the SemGroup Championship? IMO, she should play in the SemGroup Championship as Cristie and Jim have no chance of winning The Ultimate Game.

I doubt it since the Sem Group is one of Cristie's sponsors.

You are probably correct, she does have the SemGroup Championship on her schedule at http://www.birdiesforbreastcancer.com/
