Palm Beach Gardens, FL (Sports Network) – Adam Scott, the 2013 Masters champion, has earned the final invite to the PGA Grand Slam of Golf following Rory McIlroy’s victory at the PGA Championship on Sunday.<\/p>\n
With McIlroy already guaranteed a spot at this year’s event with a win at the Open Championship, Scott has been invited as he looks to become the first back-to-back winner at the Grand Slam of Golf since Tiger Woods in 2005 and 2006.<\/p>\n
The PGA Grand Slam of Golf, which is a 36-hole event, will be held October 13-15 at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda.<\/p>\n
Last year, Adam Scott fired a 64 on the final day and finished his two days at 8-under-par 134, edging 2013 U.S. Open champion Justin Rose by two shots. Jason Dufner, the 2013 PGA Championship winner, ended in third at minus-3. Padraig Harrington, the winner of this event in 2012, replaced Open champion Phil Mickelson last year. Harrington finished fourth at 3-over.<\/p>\n
This event invites the four major champions from each year to participate, but since McIlroy is a two-time major champion this season, the next invitation is extended to the defending champion.<\/p>\n
Scott and McIlroy will join Masters champion Bubba Watson and U.S. Open winner Martin Kaymer at Port Royal Golf Course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
