LAS VEGAS, Sept. 21 (UPI) -- The $2 million Ultimate Game at Wynn Las Vegas golf tournament will be televised by Fox Sports, it was announced Thursday.

The final round of the tournament billed as having the richest first prize in golf history tees up next June at the Wynn Las Vegas Golf Course. It is open to men and women who put up their own $50,000 entry fee.

"It provides the ultimate challenge because players will play for the largest winner's purse in golf ... a purse they themselves have put up," Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn said at a news conference.

The contestants may not be exempt members of the PGA or other major tours. Preliminary rounds will be played at The Falls and Lake Las Vegas courses in May.
