There’s been quite a buzz surrounding this year’s PGA Grand Slam of Golf, a two-day tournament that begins tomorrow after an informal pro-am round today. Not only will it feature four of the best golfers in the world—including Masters champion Angel Cabrera, British Open champion Stewart Cink, U.S. Open Champion Lucas Glover, and PGA Champion Y.E. Yang—but it’s being played at Port Royal, Bermuda’s Robert Trent Jones-designed course that recently underwent a $14.5 million makeover. With TifEagle greens, a state-of-the-art irrigation system and water views from nearly every hole it’s arguably Bermuda’s finest course, one that will be on full display when the respective champions tee off tomorrow morning (watch the tournament on TNT from 4-7pm EST on Tuesday and 5-9pm EST on Wednesday). In the meantime keep reading Bermuda Shorts over the next three days for special news and video updates from the course. Today’s highlight? The four Major Champions will be hosting a short game clinic on the 17th green, to be broadcast on the Golf Channel later this evening. For exclusive video clips, keep it right here. Fore!
