Swing clubs with a pro during annual Shriners charity event

Play golf alongside a PGA Tour pro during the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open Championship Pro Am on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at TPC Summerlin, the par-72, 7,243-yard course in Las Vegas.

To get an idea of the star power behind this event, Tiger Woods famously got his professional golfing career going by winning the open in 1997. Zach Johnson, who just won the British Open, played in the past. Billy Horschel, who won the Tour Championship last year, also played. Last year, Ben Martin won the $1.1-million tournament, the third on the PGA Tour this year.

Amateur golfers get to pick the PGA Tour professional to join their group during a Pro Am Pairings Party at the Bank Nightclub at the Bellagio on Tuesday, Oct. 20. Teams of four compete the following day during the Pro Am event, a 33-year tradition in Las Vegas.

Participants also nab four week-long passes to The Hill at TPC Summerlin during the tournament, a gift package that includes items from Titleist, Nike, Bose and Oakley, a commemorative picture of Pro Am group and one night in a hotel room at the Bellagio.

Tickets are $8,500 for one person and $24,000 for a group of four.
