All-Star Challenge will pit NASCAR stars Dale Jarrett, Jamie McMurray, Elliott Sadler, Elliott Sadler, Rusty Wallace and Michael Waltrip against each other in a special event for charity and bragging rights. The event will be held in the Charlotte, N.C. area, on Tuesday, May 24 and air on the Golf Channel, Tuesday, July 5 at 9:00am/et. The players will not only take on one another, they’ll also take on some of the most demanding challenges from The Golf Channel’s The Big Break, The Golf Channel’s hit reality series. A previous All-Star Challenge aired featuring the World Champion Boston Red Sox. Preparing to enter its fourth season, The Big Break has been one of The Golf Channel’s most successful programs in the network’s 10-year history. The show features 10 golfers putting it all on the line for a chance to win prizes and earning exemptions to play in major tour events on the LPGA Tour, Nationwide Tour, European Tour or Canadian Tour.
Thousands of golfers toil endlessly on the mini-tours, aiming for a shot to play with the best in the world and chase their dreams. Now they have a shot at it. Viewers see great golf – the strategy, the tension, clutch shots and critical mistakes – as contestants take on challenges that reveal the strengths and weaknesses in their games and test their mental toughness. Players are eliminated one by one until only one remains earning their Big Break.(PR)(5-17-2005)
