"Our unique format provides the flexibility to deliver provocative match-ups like top sports celebrities versus the PGA Tour's best. Now, let's put the caddies under the pressure of galleries, TV cameras and high-stakes prize money." The competition, sanctioned by the PGA Tour, will be taped for broadcast on NBC Sports December 27 and 28, as the only golf on network television that final weekend of the year. golfclubsequipments The teams are set as follows:
