Donald Trump is "Business," and Donald
Trump is "Golf." Multi-billionaire Trump has entered
the golf world in a big way with Trump
International as his flagship property in West Palm Beach,
Florida, in 1999, and lately with three other Trump Nationals:
Westchester,
NY; Bedminster,
NJ; and Los
Angeles. His courses are the most expensive tracks in golf.
He spent over $60 million on a single hole in LA. Golf Magazine
has dubbed him "King
of Clubs."

The Donald is an avid golfer with the capability
to boom an occasional 300-yard drive, and says of his game: "I'm
a very fine putter." Playing with Payne Stewart in the 1993
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Donald aced the 12th hole at Spyglass
Hill! He's even written a book
of the best tips he's gotten over the years:
This year, The Donald offers something new: the
Trump
Million Dollar Invitational to be held at Trump
International at Raffles Resort, Canouan Island, the Grenadines,
where Trump Golf manages the property. The event pits 100 hand-chosen
golfers to vie for the top-place prize of $1 million in a 54-hole
strokeplay that winnows the field to 10, followed by a shootout
for the top spot. The 10th-place finisher earns $20,000. The TMDI
takes place May 21-26, 2006, and then will be aired on ESPN July
2 and ESPN2 on July 12, in broadcasts syndicated to over 400 million
households around the world.
Event Director Andy Batkin of Innovative
Media Solutions has asked Geoff Mangum to help with the event.
Widely recognized as the most knowledgeable putting instructor
in the game, Mangum is also extensively connected throughout the
golf industry to teachers, players, and others. Last year Mangum
served as a consultant to Big Stakes Golf in helping identify
potential players, and this year he acts in the same capacity
for the Trump organization.
The TMDI offers invaluable exposure to golfers
seeking to break into the higher echelons of professional golf.
As part of the telecast, special segments will showcase individual
golfers to millions of viewers around the world, explaining their
talents and their story.
