$200,000 the handicap for a round with Singh or Els

A GOLF magazine has revealed that top players like Vijay Singh and Ernie Els are available as playing partners to the public - if you have between $100,000 to $200,000 to spend on the privilege.

Golf World magazine has published details of a letter sent by the International Management Group to PGA tournament directors proposing Monday tournaments involving an array of top stars.

The letter states: “IMG will secure 5 Tour professionals, who will join an intimate group of 6 foursomes on Monday afternoon. It is IMG’s intention to secure 5 players, focusing on those who traditionally have not played your tournament - these professionals will look favourably upon staying for the tournament, which would enhance the strength of the field.”
