On January 7th, watch some of Hollywood's brightest stars and the golf world's most celebrated players compete in the 18 hole Mercedes-Benz Championship Pro-Am. Celebrity players include Anthony Anderson of Law and Order, Jon Hamm of Mad Men, Patric Warburton and Oliver Hudson of Rules of Engagement, Kyle McLaughlin, Greg Kinnear, Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrera of Entourage fame, John Elway, and musicians Michael Bolton and Josh Kelly.
To qualify for the Mercedes-Benz Championship, which starts the season each year, players must win one of the previous year's 48 PGA tournaments.
Played each year on the Kapalua Resort's famed Plantation Course, one of the most wonderful aspects of this tournament is being able to walk alongside your favorite players without the crowds. The backdrop of the Pacific ocean and whales jumping in the background doesn't hurt either.
For more information on the Mercedes Championship and to purchase tickets for the event, which will be held from January 5th-11th, 2009, visit www.kapalua.com If you aren't able to make it out to Maui, don't miss the coverage on the Golf Channel from the 8th-11th starting at 6:00 pm EST and 1:00 pm HST.* Times are subject to change.
