Now here's a made-for-TV event that I would tune in for—or at least DVR. It seems that Julian Robertson has lured four young guns to New Zealand with a ludicrously large payday at a 36-hole event he calls the Kiwi Challenge. A former hedge-fund giant, Robertson is the man behind the event and the owner of both courses hosting the event, Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers, a pair of cliffside courses that are among the most spectacular in the world. But while everybody I've talked to who has played them raves about the layouts (Kidnappers by Tom Doak, Kauri by David Harman), the remoteness makes them all but unknown to the average golfer.
